RESUMO

The third ages population has been increasing each year worldwide. This number tends to increase with the time, due to the reduction of births, the evolution of technology and medicine and researches development. Consequently the life of elderly people, their suffering, wishes, difficulties and habits begin to preoccupy and to interest researchers. The theorys focus presented in this research shows the importance of the experience of elderlys life inside the context of learning; aiming to observe the role that the significative learning perform inside of it. Through qualitative research, I have tried to discover how the experiences lived by an elderly person influence meaningfully the way of learning in this period of life. I have also redeemed the value of wisdom in the third age; evaluating the detours between the acquired knowledge from the several life experiences and the acquired or developed competence which permitted their use to give sense to the context of learning. Investigating my own experience of trans-forma(c)tion participating of a Biographic Atelier in a discipline of the Psychology Master, I was motivated to design what has been called the Atelier of Wisdom. This project aimed to research the lives of older learners as well as their moments of formation and the source of wisdom at this stage of their lives. This methodological intervention made possible to the collaborator and to the author as a researcher, the notion of construction of ourselves by the narratives of our lives, as proposed by Josso and Momberger, in a reflexive attitude made by the conscience of our experiences, aiming the changes of behavior, attitudes and supposition; making us more conscientious of the reality, through the narration inside of each collaborator of this research. Establishing relations between the life experience and the learning experience, the focus of this dissertation lies in the importance of the Atelier of Wisdom as a way of cultivating the art of living and the construction of oneself. Therefore searching the history of the elderlys life promoted the comprehension of their mental functioning and the essence of their wisdom. KEYWORDS: Experience of life, third age, significative learning, wisdom.
