Abstract
In order to find out the evaluation status and improvement needs of lifelong education programs for persons with disabilities in lifelong education institutions for persons with disabilities in Korea, this study conducted a survey targeting officials of lifelong education institutions for persons with disabilities in Korea, who operated lifelong education programs for them in the institutions and analyzed the experiences and needs of the officials regarding the program evaluation. A total of 142 people, involved in lifelong educational institutions for persons with disabilities, participated in this study, and it consisted of 53 people working in lifelong education institutions and 89 people working in welfare institutions for persons with disabilities. The main findings of the survey conducted on them are as follows. First, the officials of lifelong education institutions for persons with disabilities conducted program evaluation mainly for the purpose of finding out the satisfaction level of learners. Accordingly, the program satisfaction evaluation method was used the most, and the respondents responded that the program evaluation was performed using an in-house developed evaluation tool at the affiliated institution and used as data for internal reporting of the institution. Secondly, the officials of lifelong education institutions for persons with disabilities recognized that the lack of evaluation-related capacity of the institutions was the most urgent need for improvement, and demanded the development of standardized evaluation tools. In addition, based on the above research results, the development of standardized evaluation tools on lifelong education program for persons with disabilities, the operation of training for education officials to strengthen their professionalism, and the establishment of a system for sharing program evaluation results were discussed regarding the development of lifelong education program evaluation for persons with disabilities.
