understanding the problems of older people is a very significant social task, the solution of which has a humanistic meaning and high social significance. One of the problems that significantly affect the state of socialization of older people is the lack of communication, loneliness, lack of information exchange skills that are necessary in the era of digitalization. Thus, the purpose of this work is to develop a methodological basis for increasing the pedagogical potential of the educational space for teaching older people. The materials of this article are the data of an empirical study on the development and determination of the effectiveness of the author's approach to the methodological support for increasing the pedagogical potential of the space for teaching older people. The methodology used in this article is based on the use of elements of mathematical statistics and structuring of the educational space. To assess the indicators that characterized the state of the educational space of the university of the third age, an assessment scale was calculated, which was used in the research process. The author structured the elements of the educational space for teaching older people, developed an approach that allows assessing the state of the educational space. The practical value of this article is that the obtained results can be used to identify the state of the main indicators characterizing the educational space of teaching elderly people. The tight deadlines for the experimental study did not allow us to fully realize the program potential of educational activities, although the results obtained allow us to talk about the prospects of our proposed approach. In general, the conducted study allows us to say that structuring the educational space in accordance with the system of elements that form it allows us to conduct a high-quality diagnosis of problems that objectively characterize the educational space and then purposefully implement pedagogical and managerial influence on the educational space, forming its new state that ensures the quality of teaching elderly people.
