In this paper, the author focuses on issues related to the development of an older person. She presents development as a lifelong process that is also possible at old age, manifested through adaptation, transgression, and transcendence. She describes the development in five dimensions: biological, psychical, social, cultural, and spiritual. She points to relationships between development and three models: deficit model of old age, active old age model, the development model of old age. She points out some chosen aspects of development at old age related to learning/education, shown from the perspective of andragogy and geragogy, and the use of the concept of human development by Stefan Kunowski.
