Seven men and women with an average age of 77 were interviewed regarding the role of wisdom in their experience of attending a Learning in Retirement Institute (LRI) in southern Ontario, Canada. A finding is that for wisdom gains to be an outcome of LRI education, older adult students need outward expression of their acquired learnings. A recommendation is that opportunities for praxis (such as co-op placements) should be offered by LRIs. In this way, retirement-age students can measure their success against objective criteria and, hence, attach meaning to their studies.
