Abstract

This study explored the lifelong education field experience of adult college students. For this purpose, a qualitative case study was conducted with 5 adult college students from November 17, 2020 to May 14, 2021 through practical diaries, assignment analysis and in-depth interviews. As a result of the study, we discovered two things. First, the lifelong education field practice experience is a 'mountain to overcome! Lifelong education field practice', 'expansion of awareness of lifelong education', 'confidence field practice', and 'A picture is worth a thousand words'were revealed. Second, the meaning of the lifelong education field experience is 'formation of a learning community through teamwork with colleagues', 'realization that people are the core of the lifelong education', 'changes in the professional identity of the lifelong education history', and 'The life of a lifelong learning practitioner who wants to challenge' life' was revealed. These results will lead field training participants to grow qualitatively, and can be used as basic data for securing professional expertise and providing quality field training. A follow-up study was proposed for adult college students who belong to other colleges.

본 연구는 성인대학생의 평생교육 현장실습 경험을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 성인대학생 5명을 대상으로 2020년 11월 17일부터 2021년 05월 14일까지 실습일지 및 과제물 분석과 심층면담을 통해 질적 사례연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 평생교육 현장실습 경험은 '넘어야 할 산! 평생교육 현장실습', '평생교육에 대한 인식의 확장', '자신감을 유발하는 현장실습', '백문불여일견의 살아있는 현장경험'으로 나타났다. 둘째, 평생교육 현장실습 경험의 의미는 '동료들과 팀워크로 학습공동체 형성', '평생교육의 핵심은 사람이라는 깨달음', '평생교육사의 직업적 정체성에 변화', '도전하고 싶은 평생학습 실천가의 삶'으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 평생교육 현장실습 참여자의 질적 성장을 견인하고, 직업적 전문성 확보 및 양질의 현장실습 제공을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 추후 타 대학의 성인대학생을 대상으로 후속연구를 제안하였다.
