For nurturing adolescent, what is as important as knowledge education is life technology of leadership which is essential for real life in a school, family and society. As it is a necessary technology in youth development stage, life technology of leadership in an adolescent period is not only important for youth life but also important for their lives as to become adults. Therefore, an objective of this investigation is to learn about the theory and necessity of youth leadership life technology, with the invention of detailed regions needed to improve life technology of leadership and its practical program.
In addition, we would like to provide programs improving life technology of leadership to the youth leaders who have difficulties in executing such programs on the spot to develop the youth leadership in juvenile institutions.
This program development is based on the region of seven fields including communication skill, decision making skill, relationship skill, learning ability skill, self-understanding skill, group work skill and organization management skill. It is also based on the subordinate region of thirty items and all of them have been considered of preceding researches and related documents, and through youth leaders and the specialists of youth related programs. Moreover, in fact, the program targeting 1,180 teenagers has been executed from March to August 2006 in Nulpurun Hall. With the survey of 380 participants and the qualitative analysis with valuation forum of participant among those teenagers, we have developed 34 life technology of youth leadership improvement programs in seven fields in total.
The proven major investigations through this research are as follows.
1. In an adolescent period, though life technology of leadership is necessary, yet there is no specific programs that could improve it. Hence this development is very urgent.
2. The 34 programs invented for improvement in life technology of leadership in this research has shown that they are very interesting and easy for the youth to participate in as well as helpful in developing life technology of leadership.
3. For the effect of life technology of leadership among different gender, the boys has shown higher level of development in leadership life technology than the girls.
4. For the effect of life technology of leadership according to the class roles, the youth who has participated in certain role in class has adopted the leadership program better than the one who didn't and shown huge effect in improvement of leadership.
5. The effect of life technology of leadership in peer group has shown that the program is more beneficial and valuable to the youth who has been a leader of the peer group.
6. The effect of life technology of leadership with the experience of leadership training has shown that by and large, the youth with the experience of leadership training is more positive in capacity development to improve their leadership as compared to the ordinary teenagers.
The acquired results of the research above are as follows.
First, in order to improve the leadership capacity in an adolescent period, with the concept of leadership life technology that can easily understood by the youth, it is very important to imbue cognizance that anyone can improve their life technology of leadership through training and programs.
Second, though the life technology of leadership is very essential in an adolescent period, programs that could improve this are insufficient. Hence interesting and specific programs that could improve the life technology of leadership are urgent.
Thirdly, yet there is lack of existing life technology of leadership related programs, 34 programs invented in this research are fascinating as well as helpful to improve life technology of leadership through natural short-term and long-term experiencing activities.
Fourth, after actually adapting life technology of leadership program developed in this research, it is very useful in youth activity program as it operated positively in developing life technology of leadership. As there was no such program developing life technology of leadership so far, we can say that it is profitable investigation, for it is foundation of life technology of leadership developing programs.
Fifth, particularly seven regions and thirty segmented regions of this program would be helpful to the youth leaders who are to instruct life technology of youth leadership.
Some suggestions that would complement the limitation of this research and its result above are as follows.
First of all, the concern and research in life technology of leadership are insufficient and as particularly scarce of preceding research on programs that would develop life technology of leadership, this investigation has large number of weaknesses.
Second, as this research has been applied only to the teenagers in Kyung-Nam region, it is important to magnify its opportunity of adapting the program to all the teenagers and judge its development.
Third, we see the limitation in development of life technology of leadership as 34 programs were enforced in a training institution for a short period of time that it wasn't long enough for them to apply everything. In order to overcome this, we can discuss it with education department or schools to administrate this program under professional leaders in special activities for a longer period time. And we are sure that this will bring better result.
Lastly, for actually activated programs for development of life technology of youth leadership, we have invented each 30 subordinate regions of programs from pre-existed mind development program and the programs developed by investigator. However, as it is not sufficient, we hope that hereafter, we could put more effort in complementing program development for the on-the-spot youth leaders.
