International Comparative Analysis regarding Educational Outcomes : Empirical Evidence from PISA and PIAAC

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze educational outcomes by countries, and to draw policy tasks improving youth and adults’ learning competency. For these objectives, this study comparatively analyzed youth and adults’ learning competency across countries participated in PISA 2012 and PIAAC. As a result, this study identified Korean adults’ learning deficit compared to Korean youth ages, and tried to hypothetically investigate the factors leading to the deficit in the perspective of Korean higher education expansion. Furthermore, this study found that the efficiency level of Korean youth and adult education is relatively low among countries participated in PISA and PIAAC. Those findings provide useful policy implications for improving Korean youth and adults’ learning competency. Firstly, it is necessary to investigate the factors leading to the deficit of adults’ learning competency compared to youths’ outcomes, and to draw useful policy alternatives for those problems. Secondly, it is recommended to maintain Korean youths’ high performance level and reinforce those competencies. Lastly, it is needed to focus the educational efficiency and design new educational system considering not only educational outcome level but efficiency perspective.본 연구는 중등 단계에서 성인으로의 이행 과정에서 나타나는 학습역량 손실 문제뿐만 아니라, 교육효율성의 관점에서 우리나라 청소년 및 성인들의 학습역량을 비교？분석한 후, 이에 근거하여 향후의 교육정책 수립 및 집행에 있어 필요한 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.Ⅰ. 서 론 2 Ⅱ.
