终身教育视域下老年教育的困境与突破

Plight and Breakthrough of Elderly Education from the Perspective of Life-long Education

在人口老龄化加剧背景下,老年教育面临的发展问题渐趋突出。我国老年教育历经几十年发展,已初显成效,但在新形势下依然存在教育目的不明确、学历教育关注度不足、课程体系不完善等困境。作为终身教育体系的重要部分,老年教育的发展影响着人们对终身教育理念的认同,社会应该基于终身教育理念促进老年教育发展,明确老年教育目的,创新老年学历教育以及建构老年教育课程体系,进一步完善老年教育体制,加快终身教育理念的推进和学习化社会的构建。

Under the background of aging in China, the problems of elderly education are becoming more and more prominent. After decades of development, China’s elderly education has reached certain achievements. But in the new situation, there are still some plights, such as unclear educational purposes, lack of attention to academic education, lack of perfect curriculum system, etc. As an important part of life-long education system, the development of old-age education affects people’s perception and recognition of the idea of life-long education. Our society should facilitate the development of elderly education based on the idea of life-long education, clarify the purpose of elderly education, innovate elderly academic education, construct the curriculum system of elderly education, improve elderly education system, and speed up the promotion of the concept of life-long education and the construction of learning society.
