시대적 변화에 따른 경력성공의 관점이 변화하고 있지만 다수의 연구들은 창업과 취업을 분리하여 연구되어 왔다. 또한 환경의 변화뿐만 아니라 개인 가치관의 변화에 따라 평생 직장의 개념이 사라졌으며 전 생애에 걸친 학습의 필요성이 대두 되고 있다. 학습의 형태는 기존의 지식을 전달하는 형태에서 다양하게 변화해왔다. 교실 수업의 형태는 팀활동과 미디어 활용을 중심으로 변화하고 있으며 교실 밖 수업에서는 자율적인 동아리 활동이나 커뮤니티의 참여 등을 통해 역량을 향상시키는 기회를 제공하고 있다. 개인의 경력은 인생에 걸친 학습과 일에 관련된 경험 및 행동과 연관된 태도로부터 발생한다. 이러한 경력을 이끌어가는 태도는 새로운 환경속에서 즉각적인 요구를 받아들이는 적응학습과 새로운 행동 및 지식을 유발하는 생성학습, 그리고 상호작용 패턴 인식을 통해 새로운 시도를 하는 전환학습을 지속적으로 일으킨다. 또한 이러한 무형식 학습들은 취업과 연계 될 뿐만 아니라 창업의도에도 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구는 자기주도성과 가치지향성을 척도로 하는 프론티언 경력태도가 창업의도에 영향을 미치지 확인함으로서 기존의 취업역량과 연결시켜왔던 연구에 새로운 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 무형식학습 활동을 매개변인으로 투입하여 학습 과정에서 자연스럽게 발생하는 학습의 효과를 확인하여 변화된 교육형태의 중요성을 확인하는데 의의가 있다. 이에 더해 스마트미디어를 활용하는 능력인 스마트미디어 리터러시와 팀 학습을 지향하는 팀학습 선호도를 조절효과로 보아 분석함으로서 스마트미디어활용 학습과 팀학습의 형태로 변화하고 있는 교육 현장의 특성을 함께 확인하고자 한다. 이를 위해 2019년 3월부터 6월까지 교육과 경력 환경의 변화의 중심에 서있는 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 이를 분석하고자 한다.

This study discusses whether digital literacy of Chinese white-collar workers influences informal learning and investigates the moderating effect of incentives on the relationship between digital literacy and informal learning. The aim of the research is twofold. First, it attempts to determine whether digital literacy of white-collar employees has a positive correlation with informal learning.

The authors aimed to understand the structural relationship among lifelong education, life satisfaction, and depression in later life. For the data analysis, 4,096 older adults aged 65 and more without anti-depression treatment were subtracted from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) of the year 2012. The findings include that first, older adults' non-formal and informal learning activities influence their life satisfaction positively. Second, older adults' non-formal and informal learning activities have a negative effect on their depression. Third, older adults' depression has a negative impact on their life satisfaction. Fourth, older adults' non-formal and informal learning activities decrease the degree of depression and in turn influence their life satisfaction positively, which shows depression level has a partial mediating effect. The indirect effect of informal learning was greater than that of non-formal learning. We drew practical implications based on these findings.
