Engaging Adult Learners in Higher Education: A Case Study of a Spanish University
Abstract
Adult learning has experienced significant growth in recent decades. In order to promote senior education, it is essential for universities to offer a variety of courses specifically tailored to the needs and interests of older adults. The teaching-learning process for older people requires continuous adaptation of teaching methodologies to the special characteristics of this group. In this chapter, firstly, we study the adaptation of teaching methodologies to enhance the participation and integration of senior students in the classroom, analysing a specific case of a University in Spain. Secondly, a survey has been conducted to determine the extent of participation, integration, motivation and engagement among senior students. A two-step ordinal logistic regression analysis is carried out to examine how participation and integration influence motivation. The participative and integrative methodologies that predominate in the Senior University Programme have resulted in high levels of student engagement and motivation.
