Abstract
Objectives This study critically points out that the existing discussions on regional universities and regional innovations have overlooked the ultimate subject of innovation, ‘local learners’ and their ‘local experiences’, and points out that the current ongoing local university innovation It was done to argue that the learner's ‘local experience’ should be taken into account in the discussion. Paying attention to the nature of the local university innovation project as an educational plan, this study attempted a theoretical review of the ‘local experience’ of local learners, a fundamental problem that had been overlooked in previous discussions, and suggested future directions. Methods To this end, this study critically examines recent environmental changes and issues surrounding local universities, and attempts a conceptual examination of the ‘local experience’ of learners at local universities, which is a fundamental problem that has been overlooked in existing policy approaches to local universities. In addition, based on this series of discussions, by presenting domestic and foreign cases that are achieving university innovation by considering the ‘local experience’ of learners as a relatively exemplary model, focusing on the ‘local experience’ of learners, local learners, local universities, and the community It was intended to suggest a policy direction for practical contribution to development. Results Based on the discussion, this study proposes directions for regional university innovation based on the learners' local experiences. The proposed directions include: 1) Suggestions for enabling local learners to settle in the region and meaningfully utilize the tangible and intangible assets of the region. 2) Suggestions for utilizing the holistic experience of society, economy, and culture in the formation of mutually beneficial relationships among various stakeholders. 3) Suggestions for transforming learners' local experiences into practical needs within the local community. Conclusions In order for policies related to local university innovation to be implemented in an educationally desirable direction in a win-win structure with various institutions, it is essential to consider the ‘local experience’ of local university learners. This study is meaningful in that it tries to raise a new problem from an educational point of view for the regional university innovation policy, which has been carried out from an existing administrative and political point of view.
