Abstract
Since the quantitative expansion of lifelong learning, attention has been focused on the lifelong educators; experts in the lifelong learning field. Lifelong educators are qualified by the Minister of Education, Science and Technology. However the professionalism of lifelong educators are being argued since the former Community education specialist to when lifelong education law was revised in 2007 until now. Therefore, based on the lack of consideration of the participants in lifelong training program, this study focused on reorganizing the lifelong educator training program based on the participants.For this purpose, by measuring the educational satisfaction and perception with questionnaire method the following research tasks were set. First, with checking the educational satisfaction of lifelong educators, this study tried to find out how much satisfaction does the participants experience in lifelong educator training programs. Second, through knowing the perception of lifelong educators, this study tried to understand whats the perception participants have about lifelong educator programs.In addition, we tried to clarify the relationship between each educational satisfaction factor, difference in educational satisfaction based on each participant factor, relationship between motives of participant and each educational satisfaction factor, relationship between participants perception and educational satisfaction as sub-research task for each research task.Questionnaires were distributed to students taking lifelong educator programs in 5 universities in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong Province. Based on a total of 163 questionnaires, frequency analysis, ANOVA, t-test, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis was performed.The result of this study is as follows.First, participants in lifelong educator training programs experienced overall satisfaction in the program. In particular, satisfaction for instructors was high, and educational contents, methods and utilization of the program were evaluated as positive.Second, there was difference in educational satisfaction based on the lifelong educator programs completed. No differences in overall satisfaction and satisfaction utilization were shown, but participants who completed fewer programs had relatively higher satisfaction for educational contents, instructors and methods. And the majors of lifelong educator training program participants showed no difference in educational satisfaction. At last, difference in educational satisfaction showed based on the level expected to be obtained. Participants achieving level 2 were evaluated to acquire more professional knowledge, competency, attitude for lifelong learning that participants achieving level 3.Third, lifelong educator training program participants were highly goal-oriented, and also activity-oriented. Participants' goal-oriented and activity-oriented motive showed high correlation between overall satisfactions. Learning-oriented motivation had high correlation with satisfaction of the instructor.Fourth, each educational satisfaction factor of the participants in lifelong educator program had statistically significant correlation. Especially satisfaction for instructors and education methods had the highest correlation statistically, and satisfaction for educational contents and utilization affected overall satisfaction.Fifth, lifelong educator training program participants viewed the program positively. Participants showed positive evaluation on appropriateness of the educational level but were negative with accessibility of institutions and information provided.Sixth, appropriateness of the educational level and overall satisfaction of the participants’ perception of lifelong educator training program had high correlation.In conclusion, participants in lifelong educator training programs were generally satisfied, but participants who completed more programs had relatively low satisfaction. This shows that lifelong educator training programs are not providing participants what they want. The result of this study shows lifelong educator training programs need to consider and reflect participants’ perception.
본 연구에서는 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자의 교육만족도와 인식을 실증적으로 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울, 경기, 충청 지역의 5개 대학 163명의 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들을 대상으로 교육만족도 및 인식을 측정하여 기술통계와 t검증, 일원분산분석, 상관분석 그리고 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과와 논의 내용을 종합한 결론은 다음과 같다.첫째, 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들은 평생교육사 양성과정에 전반적으로 만족하였다. 특히 강사에 대해 만족하고 있었으며, 양성과정의 교육내용과 교육방법 및 활용도에 대해서도 긍정적으로 평가하고 있었다.둘째, 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들은 평생교육사 양성과목을 많이 이수할수록 오히려 만족도는 낮아졌다. 또한 평생교육사 자격의 취득을 위해 더욱 많은 과목을 이수해야 하는 2급 취득예정자가 3급 취득예정자에 비해 평생교육에 관한 전문인력으로서 전문적 지식과 역량, 태도 등을 습득하였다고 느끼고 있었다. 그러나 인문계열, 사회과학계열, 사범계열 등의 전공에 따른 교육만족도는 차이가 없었다.셋째, 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들은 높은 목표지향형 동기를 지니고 평생교육사 양성과정에 참여하였으며, 목표지향형 동기와 활동지향형 동기가 높은 학습자는 양성과정에 대해 전반적으로 만족하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.넷째, 둘째, 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들의 강사 만족도와 교육방법 만족도간에 상관관계가 있었으며, 교육내용 만족도와 활용도 만족도가 전반적인 만족도에 영향을 미쳤다.다섯째, 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들은 안내 및 정보의 제공, 양성기관의 적절성, 기관에의 접근성, 교육수준의 적절성, 취득조건의 적절성에 대해 긍정적으로 평가하였다. 특히 교육수준의 적절성에 대해서는 긍정적으로 평가한 반면, 기관에의 접근성 및 정보의 제공에 대해서는 부정적인 인식을 나타냈다. 또한 참여자들은 평생교육사가 취업에 도움이 된다고 생각하고 있었으나, 평생교육사 양성과정에 대한 정부의 관리․감독, 제도 차원의 안내, 취득과정의 결과에 대한 보상, 학습자의 요구 반영 등을 상대적으로 나쁘게 평가하고 있었다.여섯째, 교육수준이 적절하다고 생각하거나, 평생교육사를 전문직으로 인식하는 평생교육사 양성과정의 참여자들은 전반적으로 양성과정에 대해 만족하고 있었다.결론적으로 평생교육사 양성과정에 대해 참여자들은 평생교육사 양성과정에 대해 전반적으로 만족하고 있었으나, 평생교육사 양성과목을 보다 많이 이수한 참여자들의 교육만족도가 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 이는 평생교육사 양성과정 참여자들이 원하는 바를 양성과정에서 제공하고 있지 못하고 있음을 보여주는 것이며, 평생교육사 양성과정에 있어서 참여자들의 인식이 반영되어야 하는 필요성을 시사한다.
