The so-called"higher educational ideal"is people's valuation to the problems such as connotation, existing manner and developing approach. The discipline as well as the necessary option of the development of higher education in our country is to evolve from elite education to public education to the popularization of higher education, which is the final goal. With the increase of both the quantity and the quality of higher education, the country is coming to the period of higher-educational popularization. And with the tendency of higher-educational popularization, the idea of constructing a lifelong educational system and learning society is to become the chief educational idea at present. And the developing steps and degrees of adult higher education play a necessary part in this. However, the necessary importance and social attention that adult higher education deserves do not match with the practice and the effect of it in reality.By learning the realistic social background of the popularization of higher education, this paper figures out the relationship between adult higher education and the popularization of higher education, analyzes the status and effect of adult higher education in the process of higher education, and be convinced that, as the chief undertaker of continuing education, adult higher education is an important part of lifelong educational system.

The popularization of higher education promotes the sustainable development of adult higher education by bringing us not only a larger quantity of people who get higher education but also the increasing degree of educational quality and level, which is also the hard-won opportunity to the development of adult higher education. Nevertheless, the popularization of higher education synchronously affects the quantity and quality of the students so as to imperil the developing space of adult higher education. Therefore, it is a great challenge to the development of adult higher education.On this basis, this paper analysis the new tasks in the development of Shandong adult higher education, which are brought by the higher education popularization. The adult higher education of Shandong province experienced a developing process of more than half a century, in recent years, with the growth of regular higher education, the adult education of Shandong is also brought about a historical leap forward and the enhancement. Now a "walk on two legs" situation has emerged, that is the adult education grows side by side with regular higher education. Despite the fruitful achievements, some weak links should not be neglect. For instance: the guiding principles are somewhat lagged behind, relevant departments works under conventional philosophy without considering the facts. great importance is lied on the structure of degree but the structure of capacity, which leads to a phenomenon that vocational education is emphasized instead of the promotion of adult's overall competence; the goal of training is unilaterally-- to achieve higher degree, which can not adapt the rapid economic growth of Shandong; the structure of faculty is not reasonable, which can be observed by the following aspects: ratio of professional stuff and the part-time teachers together with their degree and capacity are not satisfied; the teaching stuff is lack of professional training, managerial systems remains to be perfected; the adult colleges have some differences in the investment, admission plan and application of teaching material, but generally speaking, it diversifies on the same hierarchies. Colleges have not demonstrated their characteristics by their specialties offered which is based on the development of local economy; lack of legislative support, although adult education is an important method to promote citizen overall quality and a vital path to built up harmonious society and a learning-based community, there is not a single systematic and specialized law is produced. All these aspects are effecting and restricting the development of adult higher education.As a result, this paper combines plentiful empirical materials and date, promotes some views in order to achieve a fully development of Shandong adult higher education tentatively by means of literary study and comparative study.
