Abstract

The purpose of this study is to empirically verify the effects of positive psychological capital on participation in lifelong learning as well as the mediating effect of self-directedness of adult learners in Korea. The research model was constructed using positive psychological capital as an independent variable, lifelong learning participation performance as a dependent variable, and self-directedness as a mediating variable. The results of the study are as follows: First, positive psychological capital of adult learners has a significant effect on self-directedness and participation in lifelong learning. Second, self-directedness has a significant effect on participation in lifelong learning. Third, self-directedness plays a mediating role between positive psychological capital and participation in lifelong learning. The results of this study indicate that positive learning psychology and self-directedness are important factors for participation in lifelong learning. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of lifelong learning systems and the development and operation of programs that can enhance positive psychological capital and self-directedness of adult learners.

본 연구는 국내 평생학습기관 성인학습자를 대상으로 긍정심리자본이 평생학습 참여성과에 미치는 영향과 자기주도성의 매개효과를 실증적으로 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 이에 긍정심리자본을 독립변인으로, 평생학습 참여성과를 종속변인으로, 자기주도성을 매개변인으로 연구모형을 구성하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인학습자의 긍정심리자본은 평생 학습 참여성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 성인학습자의 긍정심리자본은 자기주도성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 자기주도성은 평생학습 참여성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 자기주도성은 긍정심리자본과 평생학습 참여성과 사이에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 성인학습자의 평생학습 참여성과를 높이기 위해서는 학습자의 긍정적 심리와 자기주도성을 형성할 수 있도록 돕는 학습체제 지원과 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 긍정심리자본, 자기주도성이 중요 요인이라는 것을 나타낸다. 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 성인학습자의 긍정심리자본과 학습에 대한 자기주도성을 향상할 수 있는 프로그램 개발과 운영, 긍정심리자본의 평생학습조직에의 적용 등 평생학습 참여성과를 높일 수 있는 방안을 제언하였다. 연구결과는 성인학습자의 학습을 비롯해 평생교육 발전에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
