A Study on the Reconstruction of Elderly Education Curriculum From the Perspective of Flow Theory: Taking Quzhou Open University for the Elderly as an Example

Abstract

In the context of an aging society, elderly education, as an essential part of the lifelong education system, has become increasingly prominent. However, traditional elderly education curricula often struggle to fully stimulate the learning interest and motivation of older adults, resulting in suboptimal learning outcomes. This paper, based on the perspective of Flow Theory, conducts an in-depth study on the reconstruction of elderly education curricula, aiming to enhance the sense of immersion and satisfaction of older adults during the learning process through optimized curriculum design. Guided by Flow Theory, this paper proposes strategies and suggestions for the reconstruction of elderly education curricula through literature reviews, surveys, and case studies. The significance of this study lies in providing a new theoretical perspective and practical path for the optimization of elderly education curricula, which is valuable for improving the quality of elderly education and achieving active aging. Furthermore, this study enriches the application of Flow Theory in the field of education, offering useful references for researchers in related fields.
