Teaching gerontological content to schoolchildren in Israel as preparation for adult life

B Chetkow-Yanoov
School of Social Work, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel.

An Israeli public school made gerontological content and experiences available to pupils aged 13-14. The learning process included library research, interviewing older residents in their homes, friendly visiting to a nearby home for the aged, formal lectures, role-playing before video cameras operated by classmates, and homework assignments. Children who participated were reported to have improved relations with their own grandparents. The school received public recognition for its pedagogic pioneering, and "town-gown relations" between municipal officials and the University were enhanced.
