 Methods To this end, it administered questionnaires to 259 preliminary social workers as mature-age students enrolled in collages located at D- and J-si, K-do, and it tested the relation among variables, the mediating effect and the significance level from the data collected by using SPSS/PC(21.0) and Process macro.
 Results First, it was fond that the learning participation motivation of preliminary social workers as mature-age students has an effect on the self-efficacy and the participation continuance intention, and the self-efficacy also has a significant effect on the participation continuance intention. Second, it was found that the self-efficacy mediates the relationship between the learning participation motivation of preliminary social workers as mature-age students and their participation continuance intention. The findings suggest that the higher the learning participation motivation and the self-efficacy of preliminary social workers as mature-age students, the higher the participation continuance intention.
