Abstract
To add diversity to the learning experiences of immigrants, this study systematically reviews the literature on the learning experiences of female marriage migrants in Korea and presents a qualitative meta-synthesis. For this purpose, 12 Korean Citation Index papers were selected, and the literature was analyzed. There are 72 research participants in the selected literature, and they have various learning focuses, including Korean language education, qualification exams, higher education, and workplace learning. As a result of the study, their learning began with preparation for an uncertain future, the rational need to raise children, and the desire for a decent job. The learning process was closely connected to the economic context and occurred while maintaining balance as a mother and learner and acquiring various social capital. Research participants hope to accept reality and plan for the future through learning, reset family relationships as core family members, and participate in continuous learning. The above research results discussed the need to revitalize learning communities for transformative learning, take a balanced approach to learning, and consider various learning contexts.
