Exposing knowledge and skills of gerontology to address aging competency among student in higher education can better prepare for students' future educational and career planning. The aim of this study is to understand students' reflections on an aging competency approach in an Introduction to Gerontology online class. Students' reflections revealed insights including the increase of aging knowledge and skills, empathic understanding increased through a self-awareness approach, attitudes changed toward older adults, impact of experiential interviews on students' understanding of aging. The implementation of a combined pedagogy in course construction will be discussed. (As Provided). |
