In some cases, you will have to reconfigure knowledge-based society, the information society the world, the wave of globalization has intensified further since the beginning of the 21st century has fueled to fully infinite competition between nations, between individuals. In order to proactively address this situation, by preparing the world revealed the arrival of the "age of lifelong learning", learning the respective countries of "a scheme specific for the construction of" Learning City "has operated. It is intended to mean a change of the overall education system and the advent of lifelong learning society. In other words, in the changing times to life-long learning system learners education and consumers from the education system of the school center of education's center and educator of the past stand in the center of education system, our lives 's.
Continuing education of our country's diverse society in the 1980s and quantitative growth and qualitative change patterns of expansion since the start of the 1990s, accelerated significantly since the changing patterns of quantitative and qualitative growth, but significant in terms of the issues and factors that hinder the development can be seen. Evaluation in continuing education programs in that it is properly done, despite the current emphasis on understanding and utilization of evaluation is insufficient. Lifelong learning to enhance the quality of life of local residents and continuing education programs to achieve these goals actually contribute to what is needed to make sure. Continuing education in the field of improving the quality of the program must be made for the purpose of evaluation, which in terms of various elements in the evaluation of the program requires the study.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the continuing education program to see the element-specific recognition of the importance of adult learners in continuing education programs who rated how important each factor and to investigate whether the recognition that reflects the needs of adult learners in continuing education programs based on evaluation factors materials and Resources aims to be presented.
In this study, the Daegu and Gyeongbuk University continuing education institutions in three affiliated organizations, businesses three affiliated organizations, local government agencies operating in the four participating in continuing education programs to adult learners were surveyed. Out of a total of 311 surveys added 320 parts were used for analysis. The questionnaire was collected statistical analysis using SPSS 18.0. Both studies used in the analysis model is <Study Model 1> is a T-test and ANOVA, <Study Model 2> ANOVA was used.
Through the analysis of this study indicated the main results are summarized as follows.
Personal background characteristics of adult learners by the evaluation factors to determine differences in perception of the importance of this <Study Model 1> Gender is part of the hypothesis is adopted in all studies was adopted, gender, age, education, occupation, monthly household income, place of residence in showed a significant difference according to.
Characteristics of participation in continuing education programs recognize the importance of evaluation factors for the difference by <Study Model 2> Looking at the results of the verification, the average annual number of parts involved in all the research hypothesis was adopted was adopted, institution type, content, operation duration, tuition, motivation, according to the average annual number of significant differences in participation, respectively.
The results of this study can be obtained through the implications and suggestions are as follows:
First, participation in continuing education programs, and evaluation of adult learners aware of the factors was the most important reliability. The agency operates away from the historical center of learner-centered operations of the agency, and personality changes are necessary. Practices specific to the needs of the learner can be organized with education specialists (Continuing educators), and staffed by professional training courses in order to maintain credibility in the ongoing management and support for learners should be.
Second, participation in continuing education programs and adult learners in educational effectiveness evaluation of the factors important to recognize that the reliability was next. Above all, an excellent education institutions, it is important to discover and instructors, and to adopt practical teaching by helping to improve the quality of continuing education programs will be. In addition, the program away from the uniform to fit the specialized agencies to provide educational content that would aspire to new learners will be able to meet the demands.
Third, the evaluation of adult learners in continuing education programs based on the results of ongoing continuing education programs in order to improve program quality assessment requires the introduction of certification systems. Evaluation of national training provider certification system is a macroscopic perspective, the admission of learners to identify the needs and expectations of the level of the current program, which will not only know whether there is a problem with the process for the diagnosis and feedback programs can be reducing waste and inefficiency arising from higher quality needs and expectations of learners and provide you with the right program can be learner-centered. The national accreditation system for the excellent organization selected him to meet the certification authority for hae superior institutions continued high level of quality control, if learners are various programs that will be able to anytime, anywhere.
Finally, looking in light of the experience as an adult learner of lifelong education of researchers, the study of differences in the recognition of the importance of the evaluation for each element in accordance with the characteristics you want to participate in the continuing education program for adult learners, adult I considered in what would serve as an adequate representation of the evaluation criteria of the program the student is thinking. It is believed that by this, opportunity having regard to the psychological and environmental factors of the adult learner, to achieve the goals of the organization and put it forms a harmony in the region, and those acting as qualitative development mediated continuing education programs.
