In this study, a questionnaire survey was used to analyze the obtained sample data with appropriate statistical methods, and the results were verified: 1. Among the personal factors, the willingness of the silver-haired people to continue learning will vary according to age, sex, major economic sources, etc., because the elderly age, the greater the decline of body function. Age is the factor to affect the willingness to learn. 2. The peer factor is positively correlated with the continuous learning intention of the senior citizen and the senior citizen is accustomed to learning in the familiar environment of human affairs, so there is positive relationship between senior citizens’ learning and peer learning. 3. The willingness of the senior citizen to continue learning will vary according to the average length of the course in the course design, the place of study, the cost of the course, the teaching method, etc. Besides those, location is another important factor for senior citizens to continue learning. Since senior citizens are inconvenient to move they will like to choose the nearest position from home. This study suggests that government should provide more funds and resources for senior citizen to continue learning, since continuous learning will delay the loss of wisdom, physical and mental weakness, and reduce the rate of aging. It will improve the psychological and physical health of the elderly, promote successful aging and create intergenerational integration of society. Key words: willingness of the elderly to learn continuously，peer factor，curriculum design
