Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Presently, lifelong learning culture has become a phenomenon in education for sustainable development. In fact, lifelong education offers the society a second chance in changing the standard of living. Therefore, this study is conducted to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and adversities to a lifelong learning programme. This study adopts Online Collaborative Mind-Mapping, Coggle as a data collection and analysis tool applying qualitative approaches. A total of 239 research participants consisting of executive postgraduate students from the Faculty of Education, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia were recruited. The analysis used to obtain the findings is based on SWOT analysis which consisted of techniques used to identify the strengths, advantages, opportunities and threats that exist in this lifetime education program. Findings in this research found that technology, systematic management and experienced instructors contribute to the strengths of the programme, whereas broadband access issues, inconducive classrooms and pedagogical problems result in its weaknesses. Furthermore, findings on difficulties to this lifelong learning programme show students acquire external limitations such as time constraints and personal factors. However, this programme provides opportunities and advantages to all the students as it is conducted during school holidays. Hence, this study suggests that future research will develop a suitable module and approach for lifelong learning students.
