평생교육경제학의 주요 현안 이슈들에 대한 개념적 및 이론적 접근 = Conceptual and Theoretical Approaches to Major Contemporary Issues of the Economics of Adult & Continuing Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In recognition of the problem that there has been until recently little interest in the economics of adult and continuing education, this study discussed and represented conceptual and theoretical approaches to major contemporary issues of economics of adult & continuing education: concepts of the economics of adult & continuing education, adult & continuing education and productivity, adult & continuing education and individual income, cost-benefit analysis of adult & continuing education, finance of adult & continuing education, private and social returns of adult & continuing education, and cost-effectiveness analysis of adult & continuing education. The methodology of the study was based on the literature review with the help of researches of adult educators as well as research workers with a loose connection with the adult & continuing education. To conclude, the research interest in the economics of adult & continuing education introduces not only to advantages since it necessarily contributes to a rational decision-making among alternatives, but also disadvantages of kinds of exclusive and limited decisions. Thus, decisions about the worthwhileness of an adult & continuing education program should not be base solely on economic cost-benefit criteria. There is a need for adult & continuing education researchers to consider non-economic variables with a broad perspective.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 연구는 근래에까지 평생교육경제학에 대한 관심이 크지 않았던 점에 착안하여 평생교육경제학의 주요 현안 이슈에 대하여 개념적 및 이론적인 접근을 시도하였다. 이 연구에서 다루어진 현안 이슈들은 평생교육경제학 정의의 개념화, 평생교육과 생산성, 평생교육과 개인 소득, 평생교육에서의 비용-수익 분석, 평생교육 재정, 평생교육의 개인 및 사회적 수익, 평생교육의 비용-효과 분석 등이다.
이 연구의 연구방법은 성인교육학자 및 평생교육학과 근거리에 있는 주변 학문 분야의 학자들의 선행연구물을 중심으로 한 문헌연구에 기반을 두었다.
이 연구의 결론은 평생교육경제학은 정책 혹은 대안 선택을 올바르게 할 수 있도록 가이드 역할을 하는 등 많은 가능성을 갖고 있지만, 반면에 선택을 단순화시킬 수 있는 일부 한계성도 내포하고 있다는 것이다. 따라서 평생교육 프로그램의 가치성에 대한 결정은 단순히 경제학적인 비용-수익 분석적 기준에서 이루어질 것이 아니라 비경제학적인 변수들도 고려하는 광범위한 시각이 필요하다.
