Abstract

Through a literature review, this study examined the concept of slow learners and the lifelong learning characteristics of slow learners, and sought ways to achieve successful lifelong learning by utilizing grit and growth mindset among non-cognitive characteristics. Slow learners were experiencing difficulties in cognitive, academic, linguistic, social and emotional, and behavioral characteristics. For successful lifelong learning of slow learners, it was necessary to set long-term goals rather than short-term goals and to maintain effort and consistency of interest to achieve the goals. In addition, it was confirmed that in order to achieve long-term goals, it is necessary to believe that change can be achieved through effort and learning. In other words, the need for learning using grit and growth mindset was confirmed. Based on these previous research results, it was presented as a lifelong learning strategy for slow learners that applied grit and growth mindset, which are non-cognitive characteristics, rather than cognitive characteristics such as intelligence.

본 연구는 문헌고찰을 통하여 느린 학습자의 개념과 느린 학습자의 평생학습 특성을 고찰하고, 비인지적 특성 중에서 그릿 및 성장 마인드셋을 활용하여 성공적인 평생학습을 위한 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 느린 학습자는 인지적, 학습적, 언어적, 사회 및 정서적, 행동적 특성에서 어려움을 경험하고 있었다. 느린 학습자의 성공적인 평생학습을 위해서는 단기보다는 장기 목표를 설정하고 목표 달성을 위하여 노력의 지속과 흥미의 일관성이 필요하였다. 또한 장기 목표 달성을 위하여는 노력과 학습을 통하여 변화할 수 있다는 믿음이 필요함을 확인하였다. 즉, 그릿과 성장 마인드셋을 활용한 학습의 필요성이 확인되었다. 이러한 선행연구 결과를 토대로 지능과 같은 인지적 특성보다는 비인지적 특성인 그릿과 성장 마인드셋을 적용한 느린 학습자를 위한 평생학습 전략으로 제시하였다.
