초록
한국 노인들의 교육 수준이나 경제 상황이 나아지면서 이들의 노인교육에 대한 요구 역시 변화하고 있다. 노인들은 과거와 달리 지적 호기심을 자극하고 계속적으로 지적 성장과 자아실현을 가능하게 하는 노인교육을 원하고 있다. 그러나 아직 노인교육이 다양화되지 못한 한국에서 이런 노인들의 욕구는 채워지지 못하고 있다. 미국 LIR은 노인들 스스로가 주체가 되어. 노인들의 지적 욕구를 충족시키는 것을 목적으로 발전해온 몇 안 되는 노인교육이다. 이런 의미에서 미국 LIR은 한국 노인교육이 하나의 모델로서 벤치마킹할 가치가 충분히 있다고 본다. 이런 이유로 이 연구에서는 미국에서 새로운 노인교육의 대안으로 등장하여 현재 괄목할만한 성공을 거두고 있는 LIR을 집중적으로 탐구하고, 나아가 LIR이 한국에서 적용할 수 있을지의 가능성을 진단했다. 특히 LIR이 한국에서 적용 가능하기위해서는 어떠한 여건이 필요한지, 또한 한국 LIR은 미국 LIR과 어떤 점에서 차별화되면서 발전하는 것이 바람직한지 그 발전 방향을 탐색했다.
Abstract
As the educational and economic conditions of the elders have improved, some educated elders begin to demand a new form of education. They want their education to be more intellectually challenging and more academic oriented. In this situation, Korean elderly education should be more developed and diversified to meet different needs of Korean elders. Learning in Retirement(LIR) has been developed since the 1970s in the United States for the purpose of providing American elders with an opportunity to pursue their intellectual growth. LIR is now the most popular and fastest growing form of elderly education in the U. S. The reason for it is that LIR is different from other forms of elderly education. In LIR, elders participate in all the processes of their education as the subjects. They plan, manage, evaluate, and even finance their education and by doing all these, they can empower themselves. In the study, the author attempts to do research on LIR in depth and to find out the possibility of LIR as a new model for Korean elderly education. In specific, first, the author investigates the backgrounds of the development of LIR in the United States Second, the author looks into the definition, main characteristics, and limitations of LIR. Third, the author examines to what extent LIR can meet the new educational demand of Korean elders, and what conditions should be improved to initiate LIR in Korea, and what direction the future Korean LIR should take.
