Com esta investigação, que se insere na área de especialização de Educação e Formação de Adultos, pretendeu-se indagar qual o contributo da prática museológica no processo de educação e formação dos adultos seniores.
Também se pretendeu aprofundar o estudo da relação entre Museus e Universidades Seniores (US) e produzir mais conhecimento no âmbito, quer da ligação entre a Museologia e a Educação, quer da contribuição conjunta destas áreas do conhecimento para a sociedade.
Realça-se as linhas orientadoras do Conselho da Europa para a Educação que têm vindo a proclamar os Museus como instituições educativas e formativas nas suas atividades.
O atual contexto demográfico e social de acentuado envelhecimento em Portugal representa, quer para os Museus, como instituições culturais e espaços não formais e informais de Aprendizagem ao Longo da Vida (ALV) e da moderna cidadania, quer para as US, consideradas como um bom exemplo da combinação entre escolaridade, consumos culturais, ocupações do tempo e promoção do envelhecimento ativo e da ALV - proporcionando aos mais velhos a possibilidade de aprender ou ensinar -, um elevado potencial e um crescente desafio aos quais as instituições referidas deverão prestar especial atenção.
Este Estudo, centrado nos Museus e nos visitantes adultos seniores, desenvolveu-se no sentido de saber em que medida os Museus podem contribuir para a educação e a formação de adultos seniores de US através da interação, promoção e mediação da educação museológica, o que se afigura de relevante importância pelo contributo que pode dar à comunidade científica e ao saber já existente sobre esta matéria.
O desenvolvimento do Estudo centrou-se em três eixos principais: i) investigação dos contributos que podem ocorrer das relações entre Museus e US como espaços de formação e educação para a construção e implementação de práticas promotoras do processo de educação e formação dos adultos seniores; ii) análise do potencial das parcerias educativas, seu funcionamento e impactos no processo de educação e formação de adultos seniores e na formação de seniores mediadores de educação museológica e iii) análise dos documentos produzidos a nível mundial e a nível nacional relativos às linhas orientadoras museológicas e sobre o papel dos Museus e das US, quer no âmbito do processo educativo e formativo dos adultos seniores, quer para a elaboração das caraterizações daquelas instituições.
Para a concretização desta investigação desenvolvemos um Estudo interpretativo, ‘investigação-ação’, por ser participativo e colaborativo, em conjunto com profissionais de Museus, na formação de alunos/seniores da Associação Sénior Nova Atena (NA), para fazer surgir a figura do mediador sénior de educação museológica. Aplicámos à comunidade da NA – professores e alunos/seniores – questionários; realizámos entrevistas com os mediadores

seniores após os seus desempenhos; efetuámos a recolha de dados de visitas a Museus na perspetiva dos visitantes observadores; procedemos a análise documental; preparámos um documento de proposta de parceria entre US e Museus; e realizámos conversas informais com informantes-chave.
Os resultados desta pesquisa permitiram aferir os benefícios da prática museológica no processo de educação e formação dos adultos seniores, o contributo dos Museus no sentido de promover a ALV e o envelhecimento ativo, a indispensabilidade da adoção da educação museológica, a necessidade do estabelecimento de parcerias US/Museus e a emergência de atores educativos e formativos como os mediadores de comunicação museológica sejam eles professores, alunos/seniores ou museólogos.
Os Museus são autênticos recursos educativos cujas potencialidades formativas ainda não estarão a ser devidamente aproveitadas.
With this investigation, inserted in the specialized area of Adult Education and Formation, I intended to search about the contribution of museological practice in the process of education and formation of senior adults. I also intend to examine thoroughly the study of the relationship between Museums and Senior Universities (SU) and produce more knowledge in the sphere both the link between museology and education and the joint contribution of these areas of knowledge into society. I must stress the guiding lines of the European Council for Education (ECE) which have been considering museums as educatinal and formative institutions in their activities. The present demographic and social context of pronounced aging in Portugal represents, either for museums as cultural institutions and non-formal and informal places of knowledge Through Life (KTL) and modern citizenship, or for SUs, considered as a good example of the combination of scholarity, cultural consumption, time occupation and promotion of active aging and KTL - affording older people the possibility of learning or teaching - a high potential and an increasing challenge to which the referred institutions must pay special attention. This study, centered in museums and senior visitors, developed in the way of knowing in which way museums can contribute to the education and formation of senior adults from SUs through interaction, promotion and intervention of museological education, which seems to be of the utmost importance by the contribution it can give to the scientific community to the already existing knowledge about this issue. The study centered in three main axes: i) investigation of the contributions that can occur from the relationship between museums and SUs as spaces of formation and education for the building and fulfilment of practices promoting the education and formation process of senior adults; ii) analysis of the power of educational partnerships, their working and impacts in the process of education and formation of senior adults and in the formation of senior intermediaries of museological education and iii) analysis of documents produced at worldwide and national levels related to the museological guiding lines and about the role of museums and SUs, both in the sphere of the educatinal and formative process of senior adults and for the working up of the characterization of those institutions. In order to materialize this investigation I developed an interpretative study, "interpretation-action"; as it was partaken and co-operated together with professionals from museums in the formation of students/seniors of Nova Atena, making to come forth the figure of museological education senior intermediary. I applied to the community of Nova Atena - senior teachers and students - questionnaires. I made interviews with senior intermediaries after their performances; I collected the data of visits to museums from the point of view of the XII watching observers; I made the documental analysis; I prepared a document of partnership proposal between SUs and museums; I had informal talks with key informers. The result of this research allowed to check the benefits of museological practice in the process of education and formation of senior adults, the contribution of museums in the purpose of promoting KTL and active aging, the unavailability of adopting a mudeological education, the need to establish partnerships SUs/Museums and the need of educative and formative actors as mediators of museological communication, teachers/ students/ seniors or museologists. Museums are true educative resources whose formative potentialities aren' t fairly used yet.
