Abstract
This study presents the effect of visual media-based assignments on teachers' perceptions of older adults and aging. These assignments were part of an online Lifelong Learning course developed and followed by research. A qualitative research method was used for analyzing 18 M.Ed. student teachers' writing assignments after watching documentaries about older adults. The findings show that documentaries have diverse effects on teachers' perceptions, from expanding their perspectives on aging and older adults to generating more positive perceptions. These results underscore the need to develop teacher-education courses on aging and to recognize the potential of documentaries as educational tools.
