| Annotation | The concept of intergenerating was examined through the introduction of ageing appreciation activities in five US elementary school classrooms in the same school. A week-long module was designed to determine if ageing appreciation would be enhanced by the module used in the selected classrooms. Pupils completed introductory and final questionnaires before and after presentation of the module, respectively. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the general nature of the participating groups, and t-tests were computed to determine differences between pre-test and and post-test means, and to determine inter-classroom variations. The module had some effect on children's perceptions of ageing, older people's characteristics and activity involvement with older people. However, findings were not consistent for all classrooms and all variables. (RH). |
