Objective: This study aims to investigate changes in career barriers and job-looking efficacy for mid dle-aged and elderly learners who have taken the cognitive activity instructor qualification course in the Lifelong Education Center at University.
Method : From July to November 2021, out of 30 learners who participated in the cognitive activity in structor qualification course, 15 middle-aged and elderly people were surveyed on career barriers and job-looking efficacy, and additional interviews were conducted. The collected data was ana lyzed through the nonparametric statistical test(Wilcoxon signed rank test) using SPSS 28.0 version for statistical analysis. In addition follow-up interviews were conducted.
Results: Differences in career barriers and job-looking efficacy before and after learning among mid dle-aged and elderly learners who took the cognitive activity instructor qualification course at the Lifelong Education Center, were all statistically significant. Also, the interview suggested that the career barriers of middle-aged and elderly learners were resolved by increasing self-efficacy and cognitive competency after learning the cognitive activity. As a result of the interview on changes in job-looking efficacy, middle-aged and elderly learners suggested that the cognitive activity instructor qualification course increased their motivation to find a job by creating a pos itive perception of the learner's job search.
Conclusion: Through this study, we found that the cognitive activity instructor curriculum has a positive effect on career barriers and job-looking efficacy for middle-aged and elderly learners. Therefore, follow-up studies such as in-depth professional qualification course development for middle-aged and elderly learners, development of appropriate training period and education system, and addi tion of required practical training courses are needed. Research for specific institutional improve ment is suggested.
