Lifelong learning is the key that ensures the bright future, and it is the basis of our lives. The time of social integration by the harsh means of law and regulation has been ended. Many intellectuals are now figuring out the fact that lifelong learning is the solution of our lives to advance to the real integration of society.
The universities of Korea, the historical basis of the pursuit of learning, are now defining the education as the process of developing talented persons and pursuit of learning plus community service. In the year 1982, 'the law of social education' had been established, and in the year 1983, 'the specific regulations following the law of social education' had been declared. As a result, the construction of the institute for lifelong education as the subsidiary institutes of the universities had been started. The institutes for the lifelong education make ordinary people take the pportunity to have the right to be educated regardless of their differences, in the circumstances of the proximity in the aspect of time and distance.
In the past, the concept of the institute for lifelong education met the need of compensational opportunity of the education that people had lost, however, nowadays, due to the fact that many institutes for lifelong education outside the universities had been established and standard status of education level of ordinary people had been elevated, the institutes for lifelong education within the universities lost their initial objectives and roles.
So the objective of this dissertation is to find out the ways that will make the university lifelong education institute have the competitive power among other lifelong education institutes outside universities and retrieve the past glory of being the foothold of local lifelong education.
The specific objectives of this dissertation is to find out the factors that make the students who are studying in the university lifelong education institute continue to study in the institutes, and to constitute to the activation of the university lifelong education institute using the factors as the means to maintain the students' attention.
For this study, the questionnaire study for the students who took two lessons or more lessons continuously in the university lifelong education institute in Ulsan.
The collected material was took into the statistics in the process of SPSS 18.0.
The results of the research are as follows.
The mind attitude of the workers, services, the social recognition of the institute, and the time slot of the learning was proved to be the factors that make differences in Multiple regression analysis of <study hypothesis 1>, that was made to find out the effect of the circumstantial factors on the continuous semesters of the students.
The continuity of the program, the methodology of the teaching, and mutual communication among the students were proved to be the factors that make differences in Multiple regression analysis of <study hypothesis 2>, that was made to find out the effect of the factors of the means of teaching on the continuous learning of the students. However, the novelty of the programs, the system of the recognition of the results of the learning, faculty, the contents of the program, and the mutual communication between professors and students are proved to be no factors that make differences.
Only the factors of educational and convenience facilities were proved to be the factors that make differences in logistic regression analysis of <study hypothesis3>, that was made to find out the effect of the circumstantial factors on the students' plan of the continuous learning. And faculty, the methodology of teaching, the mutual communication between the professors and the students, and the mutual communication among the students were proved to be the factors that make differences in logistic regression analysis of <study hypothesis 4>, that was made to find out the effect of the factors of the means of teaching on the students' plan of the continuous learning.
As a result of this research, here are the ways that will make the institutes for lifelong education retrieve the past glory and take their role as the means of 'community service'.
