AB - This study aims at examining and analyzing the perception of and the state of participation in lifelong education on the part of the parents of children with developmental disabilities, and seeking ways to increase those parents' future participation rate in lifelong education based on the results of the aforementioned examination and analysis. For this study, 310 parents of children with developmental disabilities were surveyed, and the questionnaires from the survey were analyzed, with the results as follows. First, the understanding degree about the concept of lifelong education and the level of acquaintance with the term of lifelong learning, or lifelong education of the parents of children with developmental disabilities were low. Those indicators (the understanding degree and the level of acquaintance) showed statistically significant differences across the gender of the parents, the highest level of schooling of the parents, total family income, and the degree of disability of the children. On the contrary, the level of interest in lifelong education was very high and the will to participate in it was shown to be very strong. Secondly, the participation rates in lifelong education both in the past and in the future of the parents of children with developmental disabilities were shown to be very low. In the case of the parents who had ever participated in lifelong education, the answer that they took part in it voluntarily, the answer that the duration of the participation was less than 6 months, and the answer that the institutions they attended were social welfare centers and rehabilitation centers for people with disabilities accounted for about half of the total answers, respectively. Also, as for the main purposes of participating in lifelong education, in order to acquire new knowledge and information, and in order to get some help with raising children with developmental disabilities were the most frequent answers. Based on the results above mentioned, we discussed some ways to vitalize lifelong education of the parents of children with developmental disabilities.
