Abstract | Because the senior population comes from various backgrounds, how to meet their needs and to cater to their different levels poses a great challenge for aging-education instructors when designing effective projects. The goal of this paper was to present the implementation of an innovative and effective project in aging education titled The K-shape Learning Project for Senior Citizens. The project was implemented in Taitung University and lasted for five months with 140 seniors in five sessions in total. An action research approach was adopted for the course implementation and content modification throughout this project. Meanwhile, data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings then emphasized four elements for other aging education professionals' references: the philosophy and goal of the project, the implementation process of the project, the perception and response of participants, and the reflection of the educators.
