China has fully entered the aging society. Promoting the development of elderly education is
very necessary to improve the quality of life of the elderly, improve the lifelong education system and
accelerate the construction of a learning society. Under the new situation, the innovation of education
and teaching for the elderly is to actively respond to the realistic needs of an aging society, to realize the
all-round development of the elderly, to adapt to the learning characteristics of the elderly population,
and to promote family harmony and social harmony. Innovating the teaching mode of elderly education
and applying the flipped classroom theory to elderly education and teaching is conducive to improving
the quality of elderly education and learning. Designing elderly education and teaching according
to the learning characteristics of elderly students needs to clarify the learning objectives, clarify the
learning tasks, guide the process of knowledge exploration, create an atmosphere of communication and
interaction, and pay attention to the process of teaching reflection.
