다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to gain insight into the perception of positive aging through lifelong learning by older people. The survey targets senior citizens aged 60 years and over who live in Daegu and Gyeongbuk province, and the survey method is analyzed through simple surveys and in-depth interviews in 4 groups. Described The process of categorizing concepts derived from the collected data drew awareness of positive aging among older learners. First, those surveyed were practicing self-realization through lifelong learning, such as active life, confident life, and positive self-realization. They also found that they were participating in lifelong education as a constant desire to learn for their health and to relieve physical, psychological, and stress from aging. Second, older students have a sense of belonging to the study club and participate in lifelong education through voluntary social service through the formation of a natural interpersonal relationship. Third, advanced learners through learning actively participated in lifelong learning even in order to pursue physical, psychological, and social health. Fourth, advanced learners have learned from lifelong learning that positive perceptions of aging, such as productive aging, successful aging, active aging and happy aging, have been important factors. Therefore, in-depth interviews were able to derive factors that could be recognized as positive aging. Meanwhile, the rapid transition to an aged society has led to negative aspects of facilities and program support that fall short of the lifelong learning needs of older people.
