新型老年大学课程体系构建研究——以云南老年开放大学为例

Research on the Construction of a New Curriculum System for the Seniors Universities:Taking Yunnan Senior Open University as an Example

老年大学是实现老年教育的重要载体,老年开放大学作为具有时代特色的新型老年大学,课程体系的构建不仅应符合老年人身心发展的特点,满足老年人的学习需求,还应按照老年教育发展目标,顺应社会发展要求。经过调研发现,云南老年开放大学还存在课程类型不够丰富、教学形式单一、学习平台的支持服务能力较弱等问题,根据老年教育相关理论,可通过“课程目标梯度化、课程组织结构立体化、课程实施多样化、课程评价多元化”等原则对课程体系进行完善和优化,进一步推动老年开放大学科学规范、可持续化发展。

Senior universities serve as crucial platforms for elderly education,and senior open universities,as a new type of senior education institution with distinctive contemporary features,need to construct a curriculum system that not only aligns with the physical and mental characteristics of senior learners but also meets their educational needs.Furthermore,this curriculum system should be in line with the developmental goals of senior education and responsive to societal demands.Research has revealed that Yunnan Senior Open University faces challenges such as limited course diversity,a single teaching approach,and limited support and service capabilities for learning platforms.Drawing from relevant theories of elderly education,improvements and optimizations to the curriculum system can be achieved by adhering to principles like“progressive curriculum objectives,multi-dimensional curriculum organizational structure,diversified curriculum implementation,and comprehensive curriculum assessment”.These enhancements aim to drive senior open universities towards scientific standardization and sustainable development.
