Abstract
The humanistic instructional strategies employed in a retirement education program package entitled PLANNING AND THE THIRD AGE represent a previously untried and viable alternative to traditional instructional strategies. A heuristic evaluation study measured pilot program participants' reactions to several aspects of the program package; 74% (N = 62) responded favorably to the usefulness of the program and 93% were favorably disposed to the humanistic (affective) group processes. Recommendations for further refinements and extension of research on nontraditional instruction for older persons are stressed.Keywords
