The theme of education of adults and/or elder adults deserves an epistemological reflection in relation to the action of professionals, in the various valences in the social and community networks, as well as in the educational institutions. Using a hermeneutic argument the author approaches the need of implementing educational proposals for elder adults, in the field of Gerontology education or gerontagogy, integrating these actions in the context of social education/pedagogy. The objectives that guided the phenomenological analysis are: rethink elder adult education, in the area of gerontagogy; analyze the socio-educational, psycho pedagogical and methodological aspects in the actions and in the gerontology programs, with the purpose of promoting active citizenship. We will epistemologically reflect the educational possibilities, from socialpedagogy/social education and gerontagogy, in order to give a quality of life for elder adults in a society for all generations.
