Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mediation effect of creativity in the relationship between the core competencies of lifelong educators and the life competencies of adult learners. A survey was conducted for adults participating in the lifelong education programs in lifelong education institutes in Gyeonggi-do. Consequently, a toows. First, among the life competencies of adult learners, the problem solving ability showed the highest correlations with the planning, action, and support competencies, which are the sub-factors of the core cotal of 520 questionnaires were used for research analysis. The main findings of this study are as follmpetencies of lifelong educators. Among the creativity factors of adult learners, unique flexibility showed high correlations with the life competencies of adult learners. Second, the core competencies and creativity of lifelong educators had a 74.6% effect on the life competencies of adult learners. Among them, creativity was a variable that had a greater effect on the life competencies of adult leaners than on the core competencies of lifelong educators. Third, the mediation effect of creativity in the relationship between the core competencies of lifelong educators and the life competencies of adult learners was verified. The results of this study proved that the creativity of adult learners is an important variable for improving life competencies and that qualitative improvement through the core competencies of lifelong educators is required.

본 연구는 평생교육자의 핵심역량과 성인학습자의 생애능력의 관계에서 창의성의 매개효과 영향을 살펴보는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 본 연구 대상은 경기도 지역의 평생교육기관에서 평생교육 프로그램에 참여하고 있는 성인을 대상으로 진행하였으며, 최종적으로 총 520부가 연구분석에 사용 되었으며, AMOS 22.0 프로그램의 구조방정식 모형을 통해 연구가설을 검증하였으며, 부트스트래핑 방법을 이용하여 성인학습자의 창의성에 대한 매개효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 첫째, 성인학습자의 생애능력 중 문제해결능력이 평생교육자의 핵심역량의 하위요인인 기획역량, 실행역량, 지원역량과 상관이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 성인학습자의 창의성 중 독창적 유연성이 성인학습자의 생애능력과 가장 상관이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 평생교육자의 핵심역량과 창의성은 성인학습자의 생애능력에 74.6%의 영향력이 있었고, 이중 창의성이 평생교육자의 핵심역량보다 성인학습자의 생애능력에 가장 많이 미치는 변인으로 나타났다. 셋째, 평생교육자의 핵심역량과 성인학습자의 생애능력의 관계에서 창의성의 매개효과를 살펴 본 결과, 창의성을 생애능력에 미치는 영향력이 검증되어 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 성인학습자의 창의성은 생애능력을 향상시키기 위한 중요한 변인으로 나타났으며, 평생교육자의 핵심역량을 기반으로 성인학습자 창의성에 대해 질적 향상이 이루어져야 한다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구의 시사점으로는 생애능력에 미치는 영향 요인이 핵심역량보다 창의성이 높다는 점을 통해 평생교육 성인학습자의 창의성을 높일 수 있는 실무적 방안을 통하여 성인 학습자 자신의 삶의 질을 높이고 성공적인 삶을 모색할 수 있는 교육환경과 기회가 제공되어야 한다는 점을 시사하고 있다.
