摘要
社區大學的蓬勃發展，不僅是民間團體的參與，更有來自於民眾的學習自主力量，這股力量也在透過學習之後，蔓延到了政府部門以及許多議題的參與與推動。隨著時代的潮流、社會變遷及政治文化等因素的推波助瀾，傳統上專屬菁英階級的高等教育已由普及到深化，高等教育機會的提供不再僅是從社會整體利益價值考量，更是個人權力的一部分。本研究希望探討台南市七所社區大學之一的南關社區大學中高齡學員學習動機及學習滿意度。其具體目的包括瞭解我國社區大學中高齡學員學習動機取向、學習滿意度之情形，並探討不同背景變項下社區大學中高齡學員學習動機、學習滿意度之關係，最後根據研究發現提出具體建議，以作為相關單位參考依據。 本研究採用文獻分析與問卷調查法，首先，蒐集整理國內外之相關研究與文獻，對學習動機、學習滿意度的意義、內涵和相關研究進行深入分析，然後對台灣社區大學之現況進行綜合概述，以此作為本研究之理論基礎與實證研究之架構。再依據文獻資料、相關實證研究及參考國內外類似量表，發展成「我國社區大學中高齡學員學習動機、學習滿意度調查問卷」，通過問卷調查，經預試及正式問卷的施測後，將蒐集所得問卷資料利用統計方法加以分析，最後根據研究結果及討論，歸納出研究發現與結論，並提出下列建議： 壹、對南關社區大學及相關單位的建議 一、提供男性學習者更多的課程選擇 二、針對不同學歷的學習者規劃課程 三、針對不同職業屬性規劃課程 四、公民社會理想的推動 貳、對後續研究者的建議 一、研究對象方面，可以考量從不同年齡段、性別等方面進行深入研究。 二、研究變項方面，可針對學習評量指標、課程設計、師資培訓、志工培訓、與社區營造連結等相關面深入研究。 三、研究方法方面，未來研究方法嘗試利用深度訪談、觀察研究等方法蒐集資料。
