However, previous studies regarding the establishment of senior citizen organizations afforded by the formation of senior citizens clubs and learning and educational activities centering on schools for the elderly have mainly focused on case reports and assessments of the existing situation. The process of community and municipal systematization of senior citizens clubs and the regional historical situation surrounding the learning and educational activities developed on the basis of these clubs have yet to be fully elucidated. The present paper aims to obtain an accurate historical picture of the community and municipal systematization of senior citizens clubs and the learning and educational activities developed on the basis of these clubs using Gifu Prefecture and prefectural municipalities as examples. The following historical picture was obtained. 1) With increasing systematization from 1963 to 1974, senior citizens clubs became places for “social activity” that “utilize the valuable knowledge and experience” of elderly people and took proactive steps to move beyond simply helping the elderly to “enjoy the rest of their lives” toward increasing their “social adaptability,” as advised in the July 1963 notification “regarding Elderly Welfare Law implementation” from the Vice-Minister of Health and Welfare. 2) Learning and educational opportunities for the elderly improved from 1965 to 1969 and can be grouped into two types. First, “schools for the elderly,” which were increasingly launched with the systematization of the learning and educational functions held by the senior citizens clubs. These schools either had individual senior citizens clubs as their parent organization or maintained a close relationship with the senior citizens club organization. Second, institutions given names such as “seniors colleges” or “universities for the elderly,” which took precedence over individual senior citizens clubs and were expected to take on the role of fostering their leaders. Further research is required to refine understanding regarding the formation of senior citizen organizations (senior citizens clubs) and the process of formation and development of education for the elderly (schools for the elderly) outside Gifu Prefecture. This approach should provide a comprehensive picture of the regional historical situation surrounding the formation of senior citizen organizations (senior citizens clubs) and the process of formation and development of education for the elderly (schools for the elderly).}, pages = {55--70}, title = {地域における高齢者組織の結成と社会教育における高齢者教育の生成・展開過程に関する考察 : 岐阜県内の動向に焦点化して}, volume = {19}, year = {2019} }
