Jakość życia osób starszych uczestniczących w zajęciach uniwersytetu trzeciego wieku

Quality of life of older people participating in the activities of the university of the third age. In connection with the phenomenon of population aging and the creation of a new social policy, a new direction in pedagogics called andragogy, or sub-discipline dealing with adult education, was created. The task of adult education has taken over Universities of the Third Age, pursuing such goals as: continuing education, socio-cultural activation, physical mobilization and dissemination of gerontological proficiency among participants. The aim of this study is to compare the quality of life of people over 60 years old, studying at the University of the Third Age, with people who do not participate in any seniors’ occupations and live exclusively in their own home environment. The study used the diagnostic survey method. As a research tool, a questionnaire was used for the own questionnaire containing 22 questions, the Oswestry Questionnaire and The World Health Organization (WHOQOL) – BREFF.
