In this study we have asked the opinion of ex-students, aspirant-students and non-students and their partners, about the pre-retirement-courses as given at boarding-schools, for five successive days. At the same time we have tried to find hints for possible effects of those courses. Some findings of these study in regard to these courses are discussed: how did one hear about it, what made people decide to go or not, what did one expect from it, what did one learn, how does one think about the educational activities. A little more than half of the ex-students who have been interviewed, gave a positive evaluation of the course. By far the most, the most important learning experience they mentioned was the meeting of perfect strangers from different social settings. We did not find any indications for possible effects on the areas of life that came up for discussion during the course. Several recommendations are done with regard to the plan and content of the course. We plead for a preparation for retirement, which is adjusted to the individual. Educational activities might play a part, but this does not apply to everyone.
在本研究中，我们询问了往届学生、准学生和非学生及其伴侣对寄宿学校提供的退休前课程的看法，为期连续五天。同时，我们试图寻找这些课程可能产生的影响的线索。讨论了这项研究关于这些课程的一些发现：人们是如何听说它的，是什么促使人们决定去或不去，人们对它有什么期望，人们学到了什么，人们如何看待教育活动。接受采访的往届学生中，略多于一半对该课程给予了积极评价。到目前为止，他们提到的最重要的学习经历是与来自不同社会背景的完全陌生的人见面。我们没有发现任何迹象表明该课程对课程中讨论的生活领域可能产生影响。针对课程的计划和内容提出了一些建议。我们主张为退休做好个性化的准备。教育活动可能会起到一定作用，但并非适用于所有人。
