At present, the issue of senior education quite markedly exceeds the framework of educational sciences and acquires an interdisciplinary character. The paper deals with the analysis of one of the most important aspects of the process of senior education - motivation. The author’s consideration is based on the changing view on the significance of senior education, and he analyses the specific features of motivation in relation to ageing strategies.
