编者按本文没有满足和停留于对老年教育姓“教”也姓“老”的已有结论,而是另辟蹊径,从社会学的角度对老年教育的性质、功能深入探究,提出了“老年教育是老年人重新融入主流社会的重要支点;老年教育是老年人再社会化的重要通道”的新颖观点。从而加深了人们对老年教育、老年大学与社会发展、时代进步之间紧密联系的认识,进一步理解了老年教育所包含、所承载的社会涵义。令人耳目一新、脑洞大开。善于根据时代变 According to this article, the author did not satisfy and conclude the existing conclusion that the surname education of old age has the same surname and old age. Instead, this article opens a new path to further explore the nature and function of the education for the aged from the angle of sociology. “Geriatric education is an important pivot for older people to reintegrate into mainstream society; seniors’ education is an important channel for re-socialization of seniors”. Thus deepening people’s understanding of the close connection between the education for the aged, the development of the aged university and the social development and the progress of the times, and further understanding of the social implications of the education contained in the old age. Breathtaking, wide-open. Good at changing according to the times
