Background: Intergenerational learning is a combination of lifelong learning and universal learning, which plays a significant role in cultural inheritance, intergenerational understanding, and active aging.
Objective: The objective of the study is to understand the
concept, role, form, current status, and theoretical basis of intergenerational
learning.
Methods: Using the keywords "the elder" or "older
people" or "old people" and "intergenerational
learning", a literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science,
CINAHL Plus, Scopus, Embase, PsycINFO, and CNKI for empirical papers published
in English or Chinese in the past 20 years.
Results: Twenty-six papers were included. Previous literature
shows that intergenerational learning among the elderly has increasingly
attracted the attention of the academic community. Intergenerational learning can arouse the
attention of all sectors of society to elderly education, change the
educational concepts of the elderly, increase the learning benefits of both
generations, enhance intergenerational understanding and trust, alleviate age
discrimination, improve learners' sense of happiness, and integrate elderly
education resources. However, there are still shortcomings in research
paradigms and methods, as well as operational models, in intergenerational
learning.
Conclusion: This article helps to deepen the understanding and
attention of all sectors of society to the issue of intergenerational learning
among the elderly. In the future, we
should integrate social resources, strengthen theoretical research and
multidisciplinary collaboration, and improve research paradigms, methods, and
operational models of intergenerational learning for the elderly.
