Abstract
University extension education develops its educational principles
upon the idea of “Learning Society.” The idea of learning society is
generally regarded as that being attendant upon modern societal changes
and/or the contingent expansion of knowledge, every person has to
continuously learn, as well as the society has responsibilities to provide
adequate educational opportunities and resources. University extension, in
a learning society, is an important channel for those who are in urgent need
of learning to access to the educational opportunities and resources. While
facing with the clientele amidst differentiation of ages, sexes and levels of
formal education, university has to deliberately plan varying educational
approaches which are independent from its traditional ways of academicoriented.
This research, therefore, intends to applied “criticism” evaluation
method to examine the existing programs of university extension and use the
information to judge the quality and the meanings of the programs provided by
university extension. The procedure of the criticism evaluation in this
research is included three steps: (1) setting criteria by means of literature
review: identifying educational characteristics of university extension based on
the rationale of learning society; (2) gathering information based on the criteria
set in the above step: illuminating the perspectives of all programs provided by
the university extension; and (3) judging the quality and meanings of university
extension by means of comparing the gathered information with the criteria.
Throughout literature review, this research identified sets of criteria: (1) the
significant values of the university extension; (2) the linkage of the resources
within the university and between the university and outside society; (3)
availability of the accesses to which that the targeted clientele reach; (4) the
governance of the extension programs.
