Book Intergenerational Approaches in Aging

Download or read book Intergenerational Approaches in Aging written by Robert Disch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Intergenerational Approaches in Aging: Implications for Education, Policy, and Practice, leading practitioners and academics from a variety of disciplines come together to discuss theoretical issues, current practice, and future directions for this rapidly developing field. The authors address key topics such as defining the intergenerational field, the effects of the segregation of groups by age on social function and organization in our communities, and designing, implementing, and assessing programs that create cross-generational connections. Exploring ways to provide services to different age groups while tapping the strengths and skills of each age group, Intergenerational Approaches in Aging examines the application of intergenerational approaches to important social issues as well as specific challenges faced by practitioners. It makes suggestions for integrating intergenerational studies into the higher education system and for challenging segregated services and funding programs. As the book shows, promoting cooperation between diverse segments of society also depends on: making intergenerational programming a permanent feature of public schools understanding and meeting the social, mental health, and medical needs of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren using observational research to study and evaluate intergenerational program effectiveness and the relationships among the people involved viewing differences among people as assets developing intergenerational program models providing children with a 'life-cycle’view of the world Intergenerational Approaches in Aging offers the personnel of state and local agencies on aging, nursing homes, senior centers, and geriatric homes practical advice, innovative ideas, and supportive materials for developing and implementing intergenerational activities and programs that can benefit all parties involved. Academics and school administrators will also benefit from this book as they learn concrete methods for integrating aging education into already existing curricula and building new conceptual frames of reference for a wide variety of social issues and historical topics.

Book Linking Lifetimes

Download or read book Linking Lifetimes written by Matt Kaplan and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many developing and post-industrialized nations, there are powerful demographic and social changes that are endangering the natural ways that old and young have traditionally interacted. The current growth in the young and elderly segments of the population, of most countries, is leading to new challenges in terms of providing health care, education, financial support, and social support systems for the young as well as the elderly. An important set of strategies for addressing these trends and the quality of life concerns they generate is the facilitation of intergenerational programs. The National Council on the Aging has defined 'intergenerational programming' as 'activities or programs that increase cooperation, interaction or exchange between any two generations.' In Linking Lifetimes, the contributors explore the range of intergenerational programs and policies found across the globe, and examine their role in ensuring the transmission of cultural values from generation to generation. By illustrating the rich diversity of intergenerational program models, the contributors discover how the common goal of promoting intergenerational interaction and understanding unfolds into differential trends, social issues, and human service systems.

Book Learning Throughout Life

Download or read book Learning Throughout Life written by Robert D. Strom and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dangers of age segregation and the benefits of age integration are examined. Each generation should be recognized as an essential source for learning. Harmony will increasingly depend on general awareness of how other age groups interpret events, respect for values that guide their behavior, responsiveness to their needs and concerns, consideration of their criticisms and solutions, and acknowledgement of their contributions. This book describes: (a) personality assets and mental abilities to focus learning at each stage of development; (b) obstacles to anticipate and overcome; (c) a rationale to make reciprocal learning common; (d) research findings which identify generational learning needs; and (e) benefits of providing lifelong education. Six stages are explored: infancy and early childhood (birth-age 6); middle and later childhood (ages 6-10); adolescence (ages 10-20); early adulthood (ages 20-40); middle adulthood (ages 40-60); and older adulthood (age 60+). Some outcomes of lifelong learning include self-control, patience, integrity, resilience, persistence, problem solving ability, acceptance of criticism, and generativity. The intended audiences for this book are professionals working with individuals and families.

Book The Attitudes of the Younger and Older Generations Prior to and After an Intergenerational Program

Download or read book The Attitudes of the Younger and Older Generations Prior to and After an Intergenerational Program written by Mary Ellen Stone and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses older and younger adults' attitudes toward those of other ages and the ability of an intergenerational program to change the attitudes of younger and older adults. The contact hypothesis suggests that positive interaction, while meeting six criteria, may lead to positive attitude changes. Three intergenerational classes and a comparison group that is age-segregated are used to examine attitudes before and after the course. After participation in an intergenerational program, older adults exhibit significantly more positive attitudes toward younger adults than do younger adults about older adults. However, there is not a significant difference between pre- and post-test mean scores for those in the age-integrated and age-segregated courses. Qualitative observations suggest that a significant amount of positive intergenerational interaction occurs in the intergenerational courses, and are used to asses the context of the classes and to explain the findings.
