Abstract

This study was to analyze the lifelong learning participation and to identify the related variables of lifelong learning participation and investment in rural areas. For the purpose, this study carried out a survey on 507 rural residents. Survey results indicated that residents in remote rural areas had higher needs of lifelong learning for their limited learning opportunities than residents in suburban areas. Investigating barriers of lifelong learning and mainly accessed institutes in rural residents suggested that relevant learning information and rural residents-specific learning program design considering time and distance barriers were required for the expansion of lifelong learning participation in rural areas. The main factors of lifelong learning participation and investment of rural residents were the computer-utilizing ability and learning needs, which implied a shortage of lifelong learning infrastructure and a requirement of more public input for lifelong learning opportunities in rural areas.
