| Annotation | This article in French looks at how continuing education is the ideal mechanism to allow retired people to maintain their autonomy and health for as long as possible. Despite the importance of education in human development, very few studies have been identified on the need for continued education for older adults. This quantitative descriptive study aimed to increase understanding of the interests and needs of older people related to continuing education in French-speaking New Brunswick. It also aimed to identify the perceptions of participants with regard to the benefits, challenges and preferences of older people for continuing education. Study results indicated that the main interests of participants were for training in technology (computers), gardening and health matters. Given the lack of research in this domain, these results will be useful for future planning of continuing education initiatives for older people. (JL). |
