Abstract

In order to map existing training on aging education for basic education teachers, a scoping review was conducted on eight electronic databases in reference lists to examine how training programs for teachers are being implemented in the field of education for aging. From 1,090 initial records, the synthesis was composed of 8 scientific articles, which presented the most frequent characteristics of training in terms of type of training, duration, didactic material used, training instructors, contents, among others. It appears that there is no consensus regarding the methodological and didactic structure of training programs in education for aging. In conclusion, the training must be carried out taking into account the needs of the long-lived population and the current basic education policies, understanding that, in order to evaluate the impact of the training, it is necessary to develop instruments suitable for this purpose, as well as methodologies that meet the interests and needs of the basic education teachers. Mainly, one should develop positive attitudes towards old age and aging.
