摘要

本研究的目的在探究國際學生的休閒轉變與適應歷程，採質性研究方式，根據文獻與Schlossberg的轉變理論擬定訪談大綱，深度訪談10位來臺至少半年以上的雲科大國際學生。研究結果發現，國際學生的休閒轉變包括新涉入的休閒活動、既有休閒活動的延續、休閒活動的終止；其適應歷程可分為情境、自我、支持與策略四方面，其中情境的情面有交通工具、城鄉差距與語言隔閡；自我則有先前離家的經驗、積極樂觀的態度以及韌性與適應力，支持則有親人與朋友、僑外生活輔導組及支持的優點與缺點，策略則分為主動出擊型與逆來順受型。本研究也發現休閒在國際學生適應歷程扮演的角色有四種強他自我認同、拓展人際網路、舒壓解憂再出發、學習適應的觸媒。最後本研究針對國際學生、國際學生輔導單位與未來研究方向提出建議。

This study aims to explore the leisure transition and adaptation of international students. The author adopted the qualitative research method, designed the interview questions based on previous literature and Schlossberg's ”Transition Theory”, and interviewed 10 international students from National Yunlin University of Science and Technology. The findings of the study can be summarized in terms of leisure transition, adaptation, and the role of leisure in the adaptation of international students. Leisure transition consists of new pattern of leisure activities, continuity of old leisure activities and cease of leisure activities. while adaptation is composed of situation, self, support, and strategy, with each component containing sub-components.The elements of situation include transportation, city-country gaps, and language barriers. Self is made up of previous experience of leaving home, an optimistic attitude, and resilience. Support is two-folded- family and friends. Two types of strategy use were found in the study; one is active and the other is passive. The four roles that leisure played in adaptation of international students were refinforcing self-identity, expandingtworks of social support, reducing tension and stress, and facilitate learning. Some suggestions for future researches are discussed.
