대학사회교육의 과제와 전망 = Nonformal Education in the University

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of the present study is to look into modes and characteristics in the nonformal education undertaken by universities for the needs of nontraditional students. We will take up the Open University England and Extension University in the United States as two prominent models in this new approach in higher education.
The Open University is oparated independently while Extension University utilizes the existing facilities and personnel. However, they have these characteristics in common :
a) The program is offered to all youth and adults desiring it.
b) It is offered part time, seasonaly, in the evenings and weekends.
c) It can be credited or noncredit.
d) It is offered on a long or short term.
e) Distance education includs correspomdance study, self-study, independent study, tutorial study etc.
f) There is no screening of students for noncredit study nor limitation in the duration of study for degrees.
In many cases both Open University and Extension University oparate on the basis of distance education, thereby earning an appelation ‘university without wall’. This open university system originated in the so called developed countries and is being adopted gradually by the developing countries.
For the Korean situation our observation is made in this regard :
First, realization for the need of such an educational system must come from the university administrators, community leaders, and policy makers of the higher education in the goverment.
Second, the society must be prepared to recognize the worth of the achievement made through the continuing education just as good as the traditional education.
Third, secondary education must be made compulsary to all.
fourth, sufficient financial assistance must be extended for this program by the local self governing bodies and the central goverment.
Fifth, the program must be made an object of research and development and its implementation made suitable to the specific Korean situation.
It is not important where we learn but learning how to learn. The nonformal education in the university is called for not only for the fulfillment of individual needs in the modern society which is becoming a ‘knowledge society’ but also society benefits from it through the enrichment thus gained its component members.
