Extended reading National Colleges for the Elderly have compiled textbooks
According to relevant predictions, during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the nation’s elderly population will exceed 300 million, and it will move from mild aging to moderate aging. The reporter was informed that the first batch of nationally compiled textbooks for colleges and universities for the elderly has recently been officially published by Sichuan Education Press and Commercial Press. Their publication has filled the gap that my country’s elderly universities have not compiled textbooks since they were founded.
Why organize the compilation of integrated teaching materials?
The reporter learned that there are five textbooks released in the first batch, namely “New Era University President’s Reader”, “Establishing and Cultivating Active Views on Aging”, “Aging Finance”, “Health Education and Management for the Elderly”, and “Legal Practice for the Protection of Elderly Rights and Interests” . Previously, my country’s elderly universities did not have a national textbook, and the curriculum system settings of elderly universities in various regions lacked uniformity and standardization. Curriculum construction was fighting each other, and the degree of resource co-construction and sharing was not strong.
The nationally compiled textbooks for colleges and universities for the elderly this time are organized and compiled by the China Association of Colleges for the Elderly. In order to cooperate with the compilation of teaching materials, Xinhua Winshare has established a special company and formed a professional team to make full preparations from market research, organization and compilation, editing, publishing, and distribution. “Affected by the epidemic, our original market research work was forced to postpone. In order to ensure the progress of the publication, in March last year, we organized an editorial committee under the guidance of the China Association of Aging and the China Association of Senior Citizens. The preparation work arrangement moved forward and gained time for publication.” Huang Yi, chairman of the Wenxuan Yinshi (Beijing) Culture Communication Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xinhua Wenxuan, told the reporter.
What are the focuses of the first 5 textbooks?
The reporter learned that during the research phase, the team visited senior universities in 9 provinces, and the research work went deep into the three-level schools of the provinces, cities and counties. Through research, the textbook steering committee determined the compilation plan, starting with general education-mainly including ideological and political, national conditions education, laws and regulations, life education, medical care, family education, science popularization and other seven categories to generate textbook content.
According to Huang Yi, among the first five textbooks released, “New Era University President’s Reading Book” focuses on the training of senior university presidents and managers; “Establishing and Cultivating a Positive View of Ageing” takes active response to the aging of the population as the starting point. The aging of the population is included in the education of national conditions to help the elderly establish and cultivate a positive outlook on aging; “Health Education and Management for the Elderly” pays attention to the mental and physical health of the elderly; “Finance for the Elderly” allows the elderly to manage their pensions and assets, and realize funds and assets Maintain and increase the value, rationally plan and use your own capital and property; “Legal Practice for the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly” protects the rights and interests of the elderly, so that the elderly are aware of the law and abide by the law, and use legal weapons to protect their rights.
Where do the writers come from?
The authors of these textbooks mainly come from domestic authoritative institutions and well-known experts in the industry. For example, “Geriatric Health Education and Management” is compiled by experts from the National Health Commission, the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, and the Beijing Hospital of the National Health Commission, which is different from the more common “big print health science” and “teach you how to maintain health” on the market. Other books, from the scientific perspectives of health management and prevention, help the elderly understand the physical and mental health status; the book “Aging Finance” invited the executive dean of the HSBC Financial Research Institute of Peking University, the chief economist of the China Banking Association, and China Professor Ba Shusong, vice president of the Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics, served as the editor-in-chief, designing financial knowledge commonly used in the lives of the elderly.
