Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of lifelong educators' core competencies as a mediating effect on adult learners' ability to function. The subject of this study was aimed at adult learners participating in lifelong education programs at lifelong educational institutions located in Gyeonggi Province. and was finally used for a total of 520 additional analyses. The main findings of this study are as follows: first, regarding the correlation between the core competence of lifelong educators and the life ability of adult learners, core competence has a static association with wisdom. In addition, wisdom has a high static association with life expectancy. Second, the core competence and wisdom of lifelong educators were found to have a significant static impact on adult learners' life abilities, accounting for 66.8%. Specifically, the most significant predictors of life's ability were creative problem solving, consideration for others, and acceptance of change, which were lower factors of wisdom. Third, the impact of a lifetime educator's core competence on adult learners is not significant. It was found that core competence has an indirect influence on life capacity through the mediating effect of wisdom, and that wisdom has directly interfaced the relationship between core competence and life ability. Taken together, these results proved that the core competence and wisdom of a lifelong educator are important variables for adult learner's life abilities. Based on this, the core competence of lifelong educators being taught in the field of lifelong education should be enhanced, and the ability of adult learners to utilize the wisdom that has been developed through the experiences of adult learners, to improve their life skills.

본 연구는 평생교육자의 핵심역량이 성인학습자의 지혜를 매개효과로 하여 생애능력에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 본 연구 대상은 경기도에 위치한 평생교육기관에서 평생교육 프로그램에 참여하고 있는 성인학습자를 대상으로 이어졌으며, 최종적으로 총 520부가 분석에 사용 되었으며, 분석방법으로는 SPSS 23.0과 AMOS 23.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 첫째, 평생교육자의 핵심역량과 성인학습자의 생애능력 및 성인학습자 지혜 간의 관계를 살펴 본 결과, 모든 변인 간 상관계수는 정적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 평생교육자의 핵심역량과 지혜가 성인학습자의 생애 능력에 미치는 영향을 살펴 본 결과, 전체적으로는 66.8%의 영향력이 있었고, 성인학습자의 생애능력에 가장 많이 미치는 변인은 성인학습자 지혜의 창의적 문제해결 이었으며, 그 다음으로는 타인배려, 변화수용, 성별 순으로 나타났다. 셋째, 평생교육자의 핵심역량이 성인학습자의 생애능력에 미치는 영향에서 성인학습자 지혜의 매개효과를 살펴 본 결과, 평생교육자의 핵심역량이 성인학습자의 생애능력에 미치는 영향은 유의하지 않았으나, 성인학습자 지혜를 통해서는 영향력이 검증되어 지혜가 완전매개 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들을 종합하면 성인학습자의 생애능력에는 평생교육자의 핵심역량과 성인학습자 지혜가 중요한 변인임이 증명되었으며, 이러한 지혜는 성인학습자의 삶의 질을 높이고, 궁극적으로는 생애능력의 향상을 위한 변수임을 알 수 있다.
