Abstract
The present study examined the perception of aging among a cohort of pre-service teachers undertaking an undergraduate
degree in primary school education. Using a self-reported questionnaire adapted from the work of Rubin and Berntsen, 331
undergraduate students were asked a series of questions relating to their perceptions of aging. It was concluded that younger
pre-service teachers held a more positive perception of aging than older pre-service teachers. Younger pre-service teachers
seemed to display a greater level of optimism toward future life experiences, eager to explore their world and make new
relationships, than were older aged students
