This study aims to examine the experiences and significance of a mother’s learning
community, which is a voluntary small get together of mothers who have infants and
young children. For this, a participatory observation and in-depth interview were
carried out from June 2012 to January 2013 targeting eight mothers who participated
in the mothers' learning community. The mother’s learning community is organized by
mothers who mainly live and raise young children in P city. First, the mother’s
learning community gave three kinds of experience to mothers: finding ways of
communication through the new meetings, a feeling of fulfillment through voluntary
participation, and enjoying the pleasure of being recognized from other people. Second,
the significance in this experience could be observed to allow children to have the
pleasure of rapport with their mothers, to make more conversation at home, and to
allow the community to have significance as network of life. The results of this study
will be used as basic data in the mother’s learning community in the near future, and
for casting a lime light for follow-up research.
