초록

Based on the perspective that learning brings happiness, this study was to examine the impact of the adult learners’ reflective learning on their psychological well-being and verify the mediating effect of characteristics of adult learner and learning flow between reflective learning and psychological well-being. Questionnaire survey was carried out on 510 adult learners who were attending various learning institutions. The following is the findings of the study: Adult learners’ reflective learning was positively correlated with all the variables, which were all statistically significant. On the contrary, non-reflective learning was negatively correlated in general. It was confirmed that reflective learning had direct positive impact on psychological well-being and learner characteristics and learning flow had a mediating effect between reflective learning and psychological well-being. Based on the findings, this study suggests that reflective learning should be accomplished through a variety of lifelong educational programs to improve adult learners’ happiness and psychological well-being. Also, educational institutions and educators should provide proper learning environment based on adult learners’ characteristics and needs that will make them more engage in their learning and ultimately make them happy.
