自20世纪中叶终身教育理论问世后，得到许多西方国家的认可。并在本世纪遵循此理论，以此去指导并践行本国的教育改革。在终身教育理念的影响下，接受多元化教育成为时代的诉求。但与此同时，在我国的终身教育实践中，国家提供的终身教育公共服务仍不能完全满足公众日渐丰富的教育需求。

高校继续教育承载了国内终身教育体系的重要一环，在我国继续教育事业的前进中起着推波助澜的作用。大力推广高校继续教育的普及化就是推动我国继续教育发展的大众化，大力推动继续教育发展的大众化就是在不断加速我国终身教育体系的构建进程。全新的历史机遇期和转型期已经来临，面对未知的发展前景，高校继续教育的发展将何去何从？为此，本文撷取珠海市三所独立本科院校的继续教育转型发展为研究对象，通过个案的深入研究，以期以小见大，从而分析宏观层面上我国高校继续教育的转型发展。在分析过程中，从“转型”二字切入，通过梳理我国高校继续教育的发展历程，尝试站在历史发展的客观角度上，阐述清晰我国高校继续教育为什么要转型，怎么转型，向哪个方向转型这三个问题，研究我国高校继续教育在终身教育的时代背景下，未来转型的方向在何处，未来的发展步调如何调整。
