생애단계에 따른 평생교육 체제 모델 탐색

A Study of the Lifelong Education System Model by Life-cycle

지식기반사회, 평생학습사회, 인적자원개발은 서로 불가분의 관계에 있다. 학습자 개개인의 삶의 질 향상의 극대화와 효율적인 인적자원개발을 위해서는 생애단계별 학습 기회가 서로 분절되지 않고 지속적으로 연계되어야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 생애주기와 생애단계별 학습과업을 연계하는 평생교육 모형으로서 통생애와 범생애가 고려된 평생교육 모델이 제시되어야 한다. 특히, 학습 요구의 변화와 학습자 참여 패턴 추세를 면밀히 파악하여 학습자의 요구를 예측하고 그에 맞는 프로그램을 개발해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생애단계별 학습과업에 기초하여, 평생학습 참여실태와 요구분석을 통해 평생교육 체제 모델을 구안하였다. 본 연구에서 구안한 모델은 아동기, 청소년기, 성인전기, 성 인중기, 성인후기라는 여섯 단계의 생애단계를 근간으로 각 생애단계별 평생교육의 핵심 이념과 핵심 교육프로그램, 생애단계별 평생교육의 주관 교육기관들을 공식적 교육기관과 비공식적 교육기관으로 구분하여 제시하였다. 또한 전 생애를 포괄하는 평생교육 시스템으로서 대안적 학력인증제도와 생애에 걸친 평생교육 전담기관을 기본으로 전제함으로써 전 생애에 걸쳐 한국 평생교육의 기저를 형성하도록 구안하였다.

This study attempted to search for the lifelong education system model by life cycle through analyzing the request and participation status in lifelong learning, based on the learning tasks by steps. Knowledge-based society, lifelong learning society, and human resource development are in an inseparable relation with each other. In order to maximize the improvement of learner's individual quality of life and develop efficient human resources, the learning opportunity by life cycle has to be not separated but connected continuously. For this, a lifelong education model regarding the lifelong and the lifewide should be suggested as a lifelong education model connecting the life cycle with learning tasks by life's steps. In particular, after closely examining the change of learning request and the trend of learners' participation pattern, the learners' demand must be predicted and the appropriate program should be developed. The concept of lifelong education has put an emphasis on vertical and horizontal integration of learning opportunity since it appeared. However, so far, studies have approached to one point among life cycle only in the horizontal phase, but they didn't try to approach in the integrated phase of life. Therefore, political efforts are needed to examine the status of learning opportunity by life cycle and to connect them with each other. In this context, this study attempted to search for a lifelong education system by life cycle for learning request by steps and opportunity distribution. It also attempted to develop the lifelong education system model in order to develop programs and provide lifelong learning policy services after investigating Korean learning status and requests by life cycle and connecting them with learning tasks by development steps.
