What should old people learn in school?

Abstract: It’s no surprise that older adults need and want to learn because they want to stay interested and enjoy life to the best of their ability, and they often have the time to do so. The University for the Elderly is a classroom for the "empty nest" elderly to update their knowledge, a place for fitness and spiritual nourishment, a garden for fun and entertainment, a platform for making friends, and a base for intellectual development. As China's elderly population increased, universities for the elderly emerged in many places in China in the 1980s. So, what are the universities for senior citizens? What is the best thing for the elderly to study in college? Below, let’s find out together! What is geriatric education geriatric education is an educational activity that allows the elderly to continue learning. It is an integral part of the entire educational enterprise. Elderly education is not preparation for a career, nor is it vocational training. It is different from general education, vocational education and professional further education. It is a special education based on the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly. Its purpose is to enable the elderly to increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons, enrich their lives, and enhance their physical fitness. The target of geriatric education is the elderly at all levels.

The significance of education for the elderly: 1. It is conducive to the continued socialization of the elderly, so that they can more smoothly adapt to retirement life and new social roles;

2. Increase cultural knowledge, Give the elderly who have not received formal education the opportunity to learn cultural knowledge, and update the cultural knowledge of the elderly who have received formal education;

3. Master new technologies and skills, so that those who are healthy and capable Elderly people who wish to re-employ have the ability and conditions to re-employ;

4. Enrich their leisure life and make the elderly live a more fulfilling and meaningful life in their later years.

5. It is conducive to building a learning society and improving the cultural quality of the entire nation.

6. Enhance the accumulation of human capital and drive social and economic growth.

7. Increasing the social participation rate of the elderly is conducive to the construction of a harmonious society.

What are good calligraphy and painting lessons for the elderly to learn in college? The art of calligraphy and painting can adjust one’s taste and make people feel comfortable. Calligraphy and painting are a noble hobby and interest. They all have the beauty of images, situations and the interest of writing and ink, which can be appreciated and enjoyed. It can cultivate people's emotions and make people's spare time and old life more practical and meaningful.

In musical instruments, middle-aged and elderly people can learn more plucked instruments, such as piano and accordion among Western musical instruments, and domestic traditional ones such as erhu and pipa. Some studies have found that practicing plucked instruments can help the elderly achieve physical coordination and reduce the chance of falls in life. Take the erhu as an example. When playing the erhu, the left and right hands alternate light, heavy, slow and fast, just right. The fingers are closely related to the human heart and brain nerves. Flexible movement of the fingers can well promote the blood circulation of the peripheral nerves of the human fingers and reduce the risk of playing the erhu. The pressure of the heart's return and blood supply, and at the same time, due to the harmonious control of breathing and music rhythm, the heart function is also well aerobic exercise. Ancient medical books record: "The spleen likes music. If you listen to silk and bamboo, the spleen will be ground." It can be seen that the spleen and stomach also like to listen to music. Soft erhu and other music can effectively promote the secretion of digestive glands and help digestion. In addition, this type of plucked instrument takes a short time to get started, has low music theory requirements for practitioners, and is relatively easy to learn. The main reason for middle-aged and elderly people to learn musical instruments is to add interest and enrich their life in their later years. There is no need to be high or fast in practice. Blow-type instruments such as the flute are not suitable for the elderly. Such instruments require breath to pass through the flute to cause vibrations. Over time, they will "injure the Qi" and harm the health of the elderly. Moreover, the breath requirements of such instruments are relatively high. High, you need to follow the physiological laws of breathing and master the correct playing method. It takes a long time to get started and is not suitable for the elderly. If you really want to learn, Hulusi is good. It requires relatively less breath among all wind instruments, the fingering is easy to master, and it is easy to get started. Generally, you can learn several pieces in a month. Playing the cucurbit flute uses simple musical notation, which does not require excessive knowledge of music theory.

Scientific and reasonable cooking and healthy eating habits are an important aspect of health care, which can make the body grow healthily; bad eating habits can lead to disorders of the normal physiological functions of the human body and infection of diseases. On the contrary, a proper diet can treat disease and help the body regain health.

In today's society, healthy eating has become a required course for middle-aged and elderly people.

Dance (1) Delay aging: Slow down the speed of aging. As the saying goes, people’s legs age first. Dancing is a good leg exercise. People who dance often walk very lightly, so some people say that people who dance are very light. People don't like old age.

(2) Shaping the body shape: The more dancers dance, the more beautiful they become. People who dance often will definitely not gain weight. As long as the key points are correct, dancing can also reshape the body shape of the elderly. Dancers are easy to dress up and are in the dance hall. No matter how beautiful they are, no matter how colorful their makeup is, no one will laugh at them. Over time, they will bring this habit into their daily lives, so the elderly people who dance look young and beautiful.

(3) Establishing interpersonal relationships: Dancing for the elderly can establish good new interpersonal relationships, gradually dilute the original interpersonal relationships and establish new interpersonal relationships. There are no superiors or subordinates on the dance floor, no hierarchy, No matter the original identity, no matter the region, everyone is equal regardless of purchasing agents.
