摘要

在終身學習日益重要的時代，許多人皆會選擇在職進修，透過處處不斷學習以適應現在的社會。本研究以國立臺北商業技術學院進修推廣部二專應用外語科學生為例，旨在了解成人學習者參與二專在職進修教育動機的情形，並探討不同的參與進修動機與學生證照檢定、競賽成果與學業成績之差異情形。
研究結果發現：成人學習者參與二專在職進修教育之動機，以「職業進展」最強，其次為「自我發展」及「認知興趣」。其中又以「想要提高學歷」、「想增進工作或就業的能力」及「想要學習與工作有關的知能」為最，顯示大多數學生盼望藉由進修，習得更多與職業發展相關的技能。此外「是否對該科系的課程內容感興趣」亦是成人學習者關注的焦點，值得重視。另依據不同年級、性別、年齡、先前學歷、職務層級、工作年資及學費來源等項目進行交叉比對，發現不同的學生背景在參與學習動機上略有差異。
在動機取向與學生參與證照檢定、競賽成果及學業成績之關聯性分析，發現學生參與在職進修的主動動機愈強，對於「證照檢定」及「學業成績」亦會具有正向的影響效果。因此推論二專在職進修學生「學習動機愈主動，成績表現愈優異」。
此外，根據問卷顯示有高達92%的同學認為同時工作又要應付學校考試而感到壓力。由於絕大多數的學生皆為甫出社會的年輕人，且超過60%的同學需要自己賺錢支付全額學費，在各方能力皆未臻熟稔的情況下，同時應付工作及學業難免左支右絀。雖然許多企業支持鼓勵員工參與在職進修，但在如此壓力下是否會成為隱憂的社會問題。學校及公司如何雙方面協助年輕的在職進修同學，提供更安心的進修氛圍，值得未來持續討論。

One should keep learning at his/her working places in order to obtain new knowledge and skills as well as adjust them to the society. The main purpose of this study is mainly aimed at the 2-year college in-service students in the Department of Applied Foreign Languages, NTCB, to explore the motivations of adults studying in the extension junior 2-year college as their in-service education and investigate the effects of the different motivations and their learning results.
Content analysis and questionnaire survey are used. We discovered that among the motivations, vocational progress is the influential one; and the next are self development and cognitive interests. The most important items are ”promoting the educational background”, ”increasing the working abilities” and ”learning more knowledge and skills for work”. Besides, the curriculum of the department is also the emphasis. Moreover, based on the orientation of each motivation, adult learners' toward studying in 2-year college as in-service education will be subject to genders, ages, grades, marital status, education, majors, occupations, positions, faiths, and years of working.
Examining the relationship among learning motivation and the qualifications of license examinations, the achievements of competitions, and students' academic grades, we discovered that if the 2-year college in-service students' learning results are better than those of others if their initiative motivations are higher.
Besides, more than 92% students are stressed at works and examinations, and more than 60% students pay schooling by themselves. Most of them are freshmen in the business; they may feel confused and impotent in this difficult situation. Many establishments support their employees to keep learning, but it may cause some hidden social problems. How the schools and the establishments help the young in-service students study in a positive environment is worth investigating.
