Geotranscendenca in izobraževanje v pozni starosti

Cerar, Tamara (author), Ličen, Nives (mentor)

Magistrsko delo je usmerjeno na področje teorije gerotranscendence in izobraževanja ter učenja v pozni starosti v izbranih domovih za starejše po Sloveniji. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti, ali se programi učenja in izobraževanja v domovih za starejše oblikujejo tako, da sledijo elementom gerotranscendence. Ugotavljali smo, kako se posamezne dimenzije gerotranscendence uresničujejo pri učenju in izobraževanju v izbranih domovih za starejše. Zanimalo nas je stališče organizatorjev programov učenja in izobraževanja v izbranih domovih za starejše do dela s starejšimi ter kako se v programih vključujejo vse tri dimenzije gerotranscendence: kozmična dimenzija, dimenzija sebstva, dimenzija družbenih in osebnih odnosov. Okvir raziskave sestavljajo izobraževanje, starejši ter organizatorji programov učenja in izobraževanja v domovih za starejše. Zato je v teoretičnem delu najprej predstavljeno, kdo so starejši, učenje in izobraževanje v pozni starosti, domovi za starejše. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljena tudi teorija gerotranscendence, s pomočjo katere je bila raziskava izpeljana. V empiričnem delu so predstavljeni rezultati ter interpretacija raziskave, ki je sledila paradigmi kvalitativne metodologije s pomočjo intervjujev z načrtovalci programov učenja in izobraževanja v izbranih domovih za starejše. Na koncu sledijo še sklepne ugotovitve ter zaključek. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da v izbranih domovih za starejše sledijo nekaterim elementom gerotranscendence, vendar zaradi različnih razlogov (kadrovske težave, zdravstvene težave, prostorske težave itd.), dejavnosti niso dostopne vsem posameznikom.

Abstract

My master's degree thesis is a research regarding the field of gerotranscendence, education and learning in old age at chosen home for the elderly in Slovenia. The purpose of my research was to explore if the educational programs at home for the elderly follow the elements of gerotranscendence. We were trying to figure out if individual dimensions of gerotranscendence are present when learning and educating at chosen home for the elderly. We were interested in the educational programs coordinators’ point of view about working with elderly people and about integrating all three dimensions of gerotranscendence: the cosmic dimension, the self-dimension, and the social and personal relationship dimension. The framework of my research is based on education in old age, elderly people, educational program coordinators and specifically education at the home for the elderly. The theoretical part presents and defines who are the elderly, their learning, education in old age and home for the elderly. This part also includes the theory of gerotranscendence based on which the empirical research was done. Empirical part includes results and interpretation of the research, which was followed by the chosen methodology; quantity paradigm, with the help of coordinators’ interviewes at the chosen home for the elderly. Thesis ends with my finding and conclusion. It was concluded that chosen home for the elderly follow some elements of gerotranscendence, but for some specific reasons (Human Resource Department, health, living space difficulties, ect.) the activities are not avalible to all individuals.
