Abstract

한국의 대학평생교육은 확대ㆍ발전해 오고 있으며, 최근 정부로부터 막대한 예산이 지원되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 한국대학평생교육에 관련된 제도와 정책, 실태분석, 그리고 발전과제를 탐색했다. 현재 대학평생교육정책은 입학전형에서 성인학습자를 정원 내로, 선취업 후진학자(재직자 전형)를 정원 외로 입학정원을 확보하여 모델화된 학위과정으로 참여하도록 하고 있다. 그런데 성인학습자를 대학입학정원으로 확보하지 못한다면 대학의 평생교육체제 지원 사업은 재직자 특별전형에 의해 정원 외로 대학입학자로 선발하여 학위과정을 운영할 수밖에 없는 사업이다. 학위과정 중심의 ‘대학평생교육정책’은 평생교육의 형식, 비형식 무형식 교육을 포괄하는 ‘대학평생교육 생태계 조성 정책’으로 전환되어야 할 필요가 있다. 나아가 정부의 대학평생교육 지원정책은 학위과정과 비학위과정의 예산을 균등하게 배분하고, 성인학습자의 역량 개발과 지역사회와의 연계를 위한 대학의 평생교육생태계 조성을 위한 인프라 지원 사업으로 전환되어야 한다. 나아가 대학평생교육정책은 비전, 목적과 목표, 전략 및 수행과제를 설정하여, 장기발전계획의 로드맵으로 예산이 지원되면서 모니터링 체제로 실행될 때 그 성과가 극대화될 수 있을 것이다.In the era of a lifelong learning society and human resources development, diversification and liberalization are becoming global trends. In the meantime, various policies have been drafted and implemented in universities with a focus on the school age population, Nevertheless, there have been few policies that provide higher education benefits to adult learners. However, assuming that education is the most optimal system for the development of human resources and the knowledge economy, it is imperative that local residents and adult learners develop themselves and acquire knowledge and skills through higher education. Continuing Higher Education has been expanding and developing, and recently the government has been supporting it with huge budgets. With this in mind, this paper has explored the evolution, practices, and challenges on continuing higher education in Korea. As a result, it has learned that continuing higher education policies have revealed various problems and development tasks. Therefore, ‘University Lifelong Education Policy’ centered on degree programs should be transformed into ‘College Lifelong Education Ecosystem Policy’ which includes non-formal and informal education for lifelong learning. Furthermore, the government’s policy to support university lifelong education should allocate the budget equally to both the degree and non-degree programs. In addition, this budget should be shifted to an infrastructure support project for the development of adult learners’ capacity and the creation of lifelong learning ecosystems at universities for the connection with the community. University lifelong learning policies can also be maximized when implemented with a monitoring system supported with a budget allocated by a long-term development plan road map which is set by vision, purpose, goals, strategy and performance task.
