성인 학습자의 경력탐색 측면에서의 근거리학습지원처 문화예술교육 프로그램 참여 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to qualitatively explore the meaning of Adult learners' participation, which was previously quantitatively quantified, with a focus on the Neighborhood learning center project, a short-distance learning support center of the Seoul Lifelong Education Promotion Agency, so that the ex- perience of participating in cultural arts education programs can be used in their future careers. The goal is to find out what meaning and impact it has on conversion. To this end, we examined the status and meaning of Adult learners' participation in lifelong learning programs through a literature review, and conducted in-depth interviews with three adult learners who participated in the curriculum and two stake- holders, including a neighborhood learning center operator and a lifelong educator, using the cultural de- scription technique. As a result, a total of 4 high-level categories, 12 middle-level categories, and 23 low-level categories were derived and could be organized as follows. First, Adult learners who participated in the lifelong learning program through short-distance learning support center had a great desire for learning, were highly satisfied with the program, and considered lifelong learning as a part of life. In ad- dition, through the short-distance learning support center curriculum, they expanded their scope of learn- ing into the field of culture and arts and looked for ways to link it with their current jobs, showing that they looked forward to living their lives independently in the future. Second, lifelong education programs in the field of culture and arts in which adult learners participate can function as career exploration, and problems such as cost, time, and distance, which were recognized as obstacles to participation in culture and arts education programs, can be resolved through short-distance learning support center, which are local learning support centers. It was confirmed that it could be resolved. Meanwhile, since it is difficult to operate the learning practice project, which is the core task of short-distance learning support center, the “Community-type Culture and Arts short-distance learning support center CoP” was introduced to im- prove the quality of life of individuals and solve social problems through culture and arts through a learn- ing community in the field of culture and arts. I hope we can solve it.
