Resumen

La gerontología educativa aborda los cambios en la vejez mediante el aprendizaje transformacional. Se ha observado que las mujeres mayores enfrentan dificultades con este tipo de aprendizaje, posiblemente debido a los métodos de facilitación convencionales. Por ello, este estudio adoptó un método mixto explicativo secuencial para examinar el uso del Enfoque de Aprendizaje Transformativo (TLA) en la gerontología educativa, con el objetivo de crear un marco de enseñanza-aprendizaje adecuado para adultos mayores. Se seleccionó una muestra de 154 mujeres mayores de 55 años mediante un muestreo por etapas. Los hallazgos mostraron que el TLA es un procedimiento efectivo y eficiente que deberían emplear los educadores de adultos. Las ideas sobre su mejor adaptación se organizaron en subtemas: en el procedimiento, se incluyeron el recuento de experiencias, el diálogo y la actuación; en la estructura, se destacaron el aprendizaje continuo, los tipos de actividades, los tiempos y las posiciones de ubicación. Como resultado, se propuso un marco titulado enfoque dialógico de aprendizaje transformador como procedimiento de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
