在加拿大，和许多国家一样，为工作后的人提供的非职业性公共利益类型的公共继续教育在政治话语的边缘徘徊。本案例研究探讨了安大略一所学校董事会为老年人开办的一个传统项目，探讨了老年人的经验和他们对学习的意义。我们的目标是更好地了解角色和影响以后的生活学习在促进健康和福祉在个人和社区层面。本研究透过访谈、课堂观察及文献资料搜集质性资料，并参考成人教育、心理学、健康及社会老年学的微观、中观及宏观理论层面进行分析。确定的三个主要学习成果包括：1）持久兴趣的影响，2）教室作为社会支持网络，3）对学习权利的认识。本文探讨了这些结果如何作为个人和社区的健康促进机制。研究结果表明，负担得起的和可获得的公共继续教育计划发挥了至关重要的作用，退休人员，特别是老年人的风险。他们还建议需要进一步的定量研究来衡量学习对健康和晚年生活质量的影响。
In Canada, as in many countries, public continuing education of the non‐vocational general interest type for people in post‐work languishes on the margins of political discourse. This case study of one such traditional program for seniors run by a school board in Ontario explores the experiences of older adults and the meanings they attach to their learning. The goal is to better understand the roles and effects later life learning has in promoting health and well‐being at both the individual and community levels. This study analyzes qualitative data collected through interviews, classroom observations and documents, referring to the micro, meso and macro levels of theory in adult education, psychology, health and social gerontology. The three main learning outcomes identified include: 1) the effects of enduring interest, 2) classrooms as social support networks, and 3) the awareness of the right to learn. The article examines how these outcomes function as health promoting mechanisms for individuals and communities. The results indicate the vital role played by affordable and accessible public continuing education program for retirees, especially seniors at risk. They also suggest the need for further quantitative research to measure the impact of learning on health and the quality of later life.
