Learning across generations in Europe. Contemporary issues in older adult education
Retirement, learning and the role of Higher Education
This article brings together some of the main findings from research on older learners, conducted and published by the author over a period of 10 years. This research investigated the characteristics, motivations and benefits of formal learning. The samples were drawn from among both students and graduates from a London university. Data were collected both through questionnaire surveys, including a follow-up study, and life history interviews. Th…
The benefits of higher education study for part‐time students
This article presents findings from a study of mature part‐time students and their reported benefits of study. It is based on data from a questionnaire survey of graduates from two major – but very different – providers of part‐time higher education: Birkbeck, University of London and the Open University. Response items were grouped within a ‘three capitals’ framework: human, identity and social capital. The first part of the analysis presents th…
Educational decision-making
This paper explores educational decision-making within a life course perspective. It draws on interviews carried out with 34 people, ages 30–81, as part of a longitudinal study into educational experiences of part-time mature students in continuing education at a London university. It considers to what extent their decisions about study are technically rational, as assumed in much policy making. The key focus is on whether there is any evidence t…

This article reports a study of older people in higher education, their socio-economic characteristics and the motivations and reported benefits of their studies. Whilst research on older learners is growing, particularly the benefits of the learning process itself, little is known about those who engage in higher education study. The findings are reported of a survey of graduates from the two UK higher education institutions that specialise in p…
Against the odds
Adults who left school early are generally under-represented as participants in education later in life. However, some ‘buck the trend’ and this article examines the experiences and motivations of early school leavers in New Zealand and the UK, using information from two studies of adults on university-level courses. The findings from both these settings reveal remarkable similarities in a number of ways. The analysis shows that internal motivati…
