Abstract

Quantitative study designed to determine the interest in studying the institutionalized older people in Punta Arenas city, along with the identification of factors favoring and hindering. The sample included 18 institutionalized elders residents of long-stay Facility for the Elderly of Punta Arenas. The 80% of older people report a high interest in the study, with particular emphasis on women. It founds a positive correlation: a better incorporation of social support network (family and institution of residence), greater interest in studying. Most want to finish their studies unfinished, and expressed interest in studying history, languages and even higher education. The results of this research invite to reflection on the negative image that society has about this stage of life, about the need for change in order to provide the necessary space for further development, especially in education, which is essential andragogy to ensure participation, inclusion and contribution of older people in society. Here the Occupational Therapy has a crucial social responsibility.
