ABSTRACT

This research is designed to examine the non-formal education patterns of adult learners attending distance higher education institutions. Exploring their education patterns has a significance not only in examining adult education participation by groups sharing specific background or experience in terms of adult learner’s theories, but also in considering implications for adult education program reformation of distance higher education institutions. Therefore, this study conducted a survey of adult learners attending in Korea National Open University, and analyzed 363 cases reporting non-formal education experiences. Differences in non-formal education institutions and programs (number, hours, and duration of programs) were examined by individual variables. In results, the hours of participating non-formal education was 480 hours for three years in average. Among types of institutions, adult leaners participated in civic institutions and non-government organizations more than other institutions. By individual variables, patterns of participating in non-formal education were different. Based on the results, this study was able to explain the non-formal education patterns of adult learners attending in distance higher education institutions and to provided a suggestion in terms of expanding non-formal education programs in distance higher education institutions.
