Abstrakt: This article delineates a four‐part educational framework that includes specific ways in which higher‐learning institutions have a responsibility to the aged consumer, related educational systems, and service practitioners. These responsibilities are: (1) to provide appropriate learning opportunities for middle‐aged and elderly consumers in order to broaden living options in late life—new careers and lifetime learning; (2) to provide education about the life cycle and the meaning of aging as part of all levels of the educational system; (3) to provide continuing education for service practitioners to continually upgrade their service potential as well as to entice new workers into the field; (4) to develop new knowledge, initiate new services, and raise standards within the service community through demonstration and research projects. The authors suggest that constructive use of this four‐role model could enhance the quality of life for the aging, as well as for the rest of society. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
