Resumo
As Universidades da Terceira Idade na Europa Central e Oriental desenvolveram-se de uma maneira específica e foram parcialmente inspiradas pelas mudanças que ocorreram na educação de adultos, em outras partes do mundo. Nesta parte da Europa, afetada por vários determinantes históricos, foi criado um modelo específico para as Universidades da Terceira Idade, baseado num tipo de educação holística e flexível. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de pesquisas efetuadas sobre as várias necessidades dos estudantes das Universidades da Terceira Idade, na Polónia, Bielorrússia e Ucrânia. As necessidades selecionadas foram analisadas bem como a forma como se manifestam em cada um destes países. Foi aplicado um questionário a 515 estudantes das Universidades da Terceira Idade, durante o período 2015-2016. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que as necessidades de desenvolvimento dos estudantes das Universidades da Terceira Idade são diferentes em diversos países. Também se poderá presumir que o modelo holístico das Universidades da Terceira Idade funciona bem em vários ambientes culturais e sob condições variadas.
The development of Universities of the Third Age in Central and Eastern Europe progressed in a specific manner, and was only partially inspired by the changes occurring in adult education in other parts of the world. Affected by various historical determinants in this part of Europe, a specific model of the U3A was created, embracing holistic and flexible education. This article presents the results of research into the various needs of U3A students in Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. Selected needs were analysed, as well as how they manifest themselves in each of those countries. The research was conducted by interview-questionnaire on 515 U3A students during 2015-6. The research results show that the developmental needs of U3A students are different in different countries. It could also be presumed that the holistic model of the U3A works well in various cultural environments and under varied conditions.
