SUMMARY:

This research addresses the theme of Open Universities for the Elderly, which fall within the field of Educational Law, according to the assumptions of non-formal education, based on the representations of the elderly, who participate in the Center for Studies on the Elderly of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (NETI/UFSC), considering the physical, social and psychological aspects. Education is understood as integral training, with a humanizing and personalized proposal (TRILLA, 1987; GOHN, 2006; HOZ, 2018; DOLL, 2008), highlighting three central aspects: the perspective of the course of life observed in gerontology (CACHIONI, 1998; 2006; QUADAGNO, 2014), critical understanding - applied to education (MÉSZÁROS, 2005; VIGOTSKI, 2011; FREIRE, 1996) and to the labor market and international organizations (LEHR, 2016; SPRING, 2018; ANTUNES; ALVES , 2004) - and the importance of welcoming, assisting and valuing the elderly, in order to break the marginalization and exclusion (ARGENTIN, 2019; SAVIANI, 1991, 1994; BOSI, 1994) and to guarantee equality before the law and inclusion social, is understood as a social process that involves the dimensions of education and aging (CARVALHO, 2013). The objective of the research is to analyze the representations of the elderly participating in the NETI/UFSC, in view of the debate on quality of life, non-formal education, inclusion as a social process and aging. The specific objectives are: (1) To discuss academic production based on the state of knowledge of educational research regarding the concept of the elderly, social roles, life trajectory, social inclusion and non-formal education; (2) Critically reflect on the historical aspects involving old age, the social processes of inclusion and exclusion and educational policies in the world and in Brazil; (3) Characterize the object of study, involving the history of UATIs and focusing on the Center for the Study of the Elderly at UFSC (NETI/UFSC); (4) Problematize the data collected in the context of non-formal education and the representation of NETI participants about quality of life and inclusion. The research is characterized as a qualitative, reflective and descriptive approach, belonging to the Educational Processes and Inclusion Research Line of the Academic Master's Degree in Education at the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina (IFC). As a starting point, a bibliographic survey and academic publications related to the studied topic was carried out, in the form of the state of knowledge (BRIZOLA; FANTIN, 2016; MOROSINI, 2015). Then, analysis categories were mapped, based on the critical perspective, contrary to "human objectification", and on the literature that emphasizes the centrality of human dignity in the educational process, in order to emphasize the importance of critical and scrutinizing training of the teaching. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to an adaptation of the methodology and, in order to capture the social representation of the elderly (CHARTIER, 1995), we opted for the collective virtual interview and the use of an electronic questionnaire sent to WhatsApp groups in that NETI participants received the material during this period of online activities. In data analysis, the analytical-interpretative perspective is assumed (ROSENTHAL, 2014), divided into two distinct moments, in line with the aforementioned attributes of a qualitative, reflective and descriptive approach. First, there was the tabulation of the first questionnaire, which served as a parameter for the elaboration of the script used in the press conference. The quality of life, as well as the individual perception of age, was analyzed as a subjective aspect – as elements that, in the final analysis, form social representations – in relation to objective issues – physical, psychological and social (NERI, 1995; 2006; INOUYE , K. et al, 2018). As results achieved, the importance of education to the group of elderly participants of NETI is indicated as a promoter of quality of life, through the mobilization of their own self-educational resources, knowledge sharing and teaching guidance. Regarding the social representation of the participants, quality of life was indicated as a result of physical, mental and social well-being, stimulated through the institution's educational activities. From non-formal education and inclusion as a social process, the particularity of Elderly Education consists of not sticking to training and/or improvement for the labor market, emphasizing, above all, the teaching of contents that take into account individual characteristics and the socialization of knowledge, in addition to the process of cultural extension beyond the university walls, in which school institutions “educate” society and society “educates” these school institutions.
