Kompetenzerwerb und Lernen im Alter

The study text conveys an overview of the current status quo of education research on the topics of education and learning in later employment years and at pension age. The volume introduces the findings of latest gerontological, psychological and sociological research studies on ageing processes. The text discusses the development of various types of learning and learning arrangements tailored to the needs of older people. A variety of different offer structures are required, because the conditions for competence development and learning are very heterogeneous in older people. A particular focus here is on inter-generational learning. The volume therefore offers insights into latest developments and concepts for an age-sensitive promotion of competence.
