Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the structural causal relationship between adult learners' participation in lifelong learning, education program satisfaction, and social capital. Also, the study reviews how education program satisfaction variables mediate the relationship between adult learners' participatory motivation and social capital. Subjects included 425 adult learners who participated in lifelong education, and the research hypothesis was verified through structure equation modeling analysis. Results are as follows: First, adult learners' participatory motivation had a positive (+) effect on social capital and education program satisfaction. Secondly, education program satisfaction had a positive (+) effect on social capital. Thirdly, education program satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between adult learners' participatory motivation and social capital and showed a significant indirect effect. This study suggests that it is necessary to develop various programs that can satisfy learners as well as improve social capital, participation motivation, and satisfaction of programs provided by lifelong educational institutions. Based on these results, this study suggests not only the role of lifelong education institutes, but also ways to improve social capital of adult learners within the lifelong education field.

이 연구는 평생학습에 참여하는 성인학습자의 참여동기, 프로그램 만족도, 사회적 자본의 구조적 인과관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 수행하였다. 또한 성인학습자의 참여동기와 사회적 자본과의 관계에서 프로그램 만족도 변인이 어떻게 매개역할을 하는지 역시 살펴보았다. 연구대상은 평생교육에 참여하는 성인학습자 425명에게 설문을 실시하고 구조방정식모형 분석을 통해 연구가설을 검증하였으며 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인학습자의 참여동기는 사회적 자본에 정(+)적으로 유의한 결과를 얻었다. 둘째, 성인학습자의 참여동기는 프로그램 만족도에 정(+)적으로 유의한 결과를 얻었다. 셋째, 프로그램 만족도는 사회적 자본에 정(+)적으로 유의한 결과를 얻었다. 넷째, 참여동기와 사회적 자본과의 관계에서 프로그램 만족도는 부분매개 하였으며 유의한 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 자본의 향상을 위해서 참여동기를 끌어올리는 방안뿐 아니라 평생교육기관에서 제공하는 프로그램 만족도를 통해서 더 향상될 수 있는 만큼 학습자가 만족할 수 있는 다양한 프로그램 개발과 운영, 제도개선이 필요함을 시사한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 평생교육현장에서 성인학습자의 사회적 자본을 높이기 위한 방안과 평생교육기관의 역할을 제언하였다.
