Enhancing the Wellbeing and Wisdom of Older Learners: A Co-research
Paradigm examines how lifelong learning, becoming wise, and sharing
wisdom are integrally linked to older people's wellbeing. The book
highlights appropriate learning styles and pedagogies for older
people, including research models emphasising participation, and
offers recommendations for research in lifelong learning with the
potential to effect change. Focusing upon a collaborative action
research project, 'Sagaciation', chapters explore the involvement
of older learners in the design and delivery of the scheme, which
enabled them to expand their knowledge and skills, and to fully
engage as critical and creative voices in a supportive and
welcoming environment. The book offers an account of the process of
the action research, as well as its findings. The project is set
into the context of leading academic thinking on fields such as the
growth of an ageing population, the rise of literature on ageing,
negative and positive constructions of ageing, social gerontology,
the wellbeing and health of older people, and educational
gerontology. This book challenges negative representations of older
people as a burden by offering a paradigm of hope, resilience, and
sagacity within education and beyond. It will appeal to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of
adult education, lifelong learning, gerontology, mental health and
wellbeing, and the sociology of education, as well as to
policymakers and those working with older people
