Educational activity of senior citizens in terms of their operation in the society

Abstract

This article covers the problem of the operation of senior citizens in the society and the importance of their educational activity. It also shows selected results of the survey performed among senior citizens in the kujawsko-pomorskie province on adaptability to old age, especially taking up educational and occupational activity. The analyses presented are only a fragment of research performed by the author of this study in 2010-2013 and at the turn of 2014/2015 using a survey questionnaire on “Ageing people’s occupational and educational activity”. As the results show, theoretical findings, however, were not confirmed in the author’s. One can, however, draw an important conclusion that providing the OAPs with an opportunity to perform a activity is not sufficient as such actions should be personalised to meet their needs and potential.
