Learning Immersion According to the Learning Orientation of Adult Learners and Research on Impact on Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study confirmed how adult learners' learning orientation affects learning outcomes and empirically analyzed the mediating effect of learning flow. Based on previous research at home and abroad, theories of learning orientation, learning flow, and learning outcomes were reviewed, and a research model and hypothesis were derived based on the theories. Of the 200 returned survey responses, 186 were selected, excluding 14 inappropriate ones, and were subjected to final analysis. The results of this study are as follows. The activity-oriented, learning-oriented, and goal-oriented types of adult learners' learning orientation were found to have a significant effect on learning flow, and learning flow had a significant effect on learning performance. The learning-oriented and goal-oriented types of learning orientation influenced learning outcomes, and learning flow was found to mediate the relationship between the activityoriented, learning-oriented, and goal-oriented types of learning orientation and learning outcomes. What can be seen from these results is that in order for adult learners to participate in learning activities and increase awareness of learning outcomes according to learner orientation, it is necessary to provide various opportunities and incentive systems at lifelong education institutions to increase learning immersion. I'm doing it. Therefore, differentiated lifelong education programs are needed by distinguishing the learning orientation of adult learners.
