摘要

本研究以幸福理論PERMA模式探討高齡者進修碩士學位過程中所經驗的幸福內涵。以個別深度訪談55歲以上之碩士研究生13位，其平均年齡為64歲。採個案研究「多重個案嵌入」設計，以「分析歸納法」進行資料分析。研究結果，正向情緒（P）：高齡者對新身分感到「珍惜」與「信心」；逐漸享受知的「喜悅」以及克服困難的「滿足」。全然投入（E）：高齡者與學術文本「同在」產生共鳴，「體驗」到時間的有限和流逝感；沉浸於問、思、答的教學「流動」，並與同儕「共創」集體智慧。正向關係（R）：高齡者在團體「歸屬」中經驗接納，感染年輕的朝氣「活力」；也成為家庭中夢想實踐的「楷模」，感受子女反哺之「回饋」。意義（M）：高齡者進修著重體現「自我效能」，逐步分享與利他；在增廣視野中孕育生涯的「整裝待發」。成就（A）：不斷超越自我而提升「電腦資訊」能力，在腦力活化中翻轉成為「學習的主體」。學習歷程中的幸福狀態分為三個階段：學習初之喜悅與信心期、學習中之投入與突破期，以及學習進階之興盛與建構期。

The aim of this study was to understand the experience of elderly people by the PERMA model. Thirteen participants were graduate students from a university in northern Taiwan and each were invited to an in-depth interview once. Their average age was 64 years old. This study adopted a ＂Multiple-case embedded design＂ of case study and analytic induction. For each component of the PERMA model, the results are as follows: ＂Positive emotion (P)＂: The elderly people cherished and were confident. They gradually enjoyed learning and overcame difficulties. ＂Engagement (E)＂: The elderly people re-experienced the sense of time, resonated with academic work, immersed in the flow of asking, thinking and responding, and had creative conversations with peers. ＂Positive relationships (R)＂: The elderly people felt they belonged from peers, became a model and got positive feedbacks in their family. ＂Meaning (M)＂: The elderly people improved their self-efficacy, tried to help others, and began to re-start their new career. ＂Achievement (A)＂: They made progress in using computers and became an active learner. There were three stages in the well-being state of the learning process: the early stage was joyful and confidence, the middle of stage was engagement and breakthrough, and the last stage was flourish and construction. Finally, limitations and suggestions were discussed.
