Dr Alan Potter will present his research into older learners’ perceptions of quality in later life learning. Within a critical educational gerontology framework, his empirical inquiry adds to evidence that learning in later life can contribute to wellbeing and may offer protection from cognitive decline. Exploring the under-researched field of older learners’ experience of learning, Alan will outline the factors which older learners say they value. His findings may have a wider application to other educational settings and be of interest to tutors, learning and funding providers, policy makers, gerontologists, and older learners themselves.
