臺灣成人終身學習能力之研究

The Study of the Competence of Lifelong Learning for Adults in Taiwan

終身學習是現代公民所必須具備的素養，也是國家提升競爭力的重要策略。終身學習者即競爭優勢者，而個人終身學習能力的形成正是產生競爭優勢的關鍵所在。本研究目的即在於探討臺灣成人終身學習能力，並進一步驗證民眾對這些能力的認知及實際具備程度。研究結果顯示，臺灣成人的終身學習能力共包含七大構面，分別為：人際能力、語言溝通與文化表達能力、數位科技基本能力、創業精神、社會公民能力、學習能力，以及自我實現發展能力，而七大能力下共有三十一項衡量指標。進一步利用此七大能力進行實證後發現，民眾的認知程度與實際具備能力程度之間是有差異的，而此差異也在不同的年齡層、教育程度間顯現不同的需求，未來個人及相關機構可據此能力與需求加以培訓，以為臺灣社會面臨各項衝擊挑戰奠定良好之基礎。

Lifelong learning is not only an essential ability for the modern citizens but also an important strategy for national competitiveness. Among the factors， personal talent is the key to the competitive advantage. The objective of this research is to build up the core abilities of lifelong learning in Taiwan， to verify people’s cognition and to improve their current abilities. This research reveals that the abilities of lifelong learning in Taiwan are separated into seven categories: relationship， oral communication and culture expression， digital technology， creative spirit， citizenship， and learning and self-　realization ability. There are thirty-one measurement methods for seven abilities. By utilizing these seven abilities， we find the gap between people’s cognition and their true capabilities. The differences of needs are shown by people’s ages and education levels. Based on this research， related organizations can improve their courses and requirements for training， in which people’s abilities can be strengthened in the future. Furthermore， this research can make the people of Taiwan face various challenges with increasing confidence.
