摘要

本研究旨在瞭解影響成人學生參與進修的相關因素，研究問題包括：（一）成人學生參與進修的動機為何？（二）成人學生進修前的處境考量及因應策略；（三）支持成人進修的來源及方式為何？
本研究採用質性研究方法，以某技職校院的進修部成人學生為研究對象，根據性別、年齡及婚姻等標準，採立意取樣，選取十二位「25歲以上」的成人學生作為研究參與者，以深度訪談為主要的資料蒐集方法。
研究結果發現：(1)成人參與進修大都有多重動機，主要為職業進展；(2)成人進修前心理障礙大，躊躇猶疑；(3)進修時間點與其人生發展任務及責任有關；(4)由於民間企業不友善的職場環境，成人進修多採低調策略；(5)進修學校的選擇以地點的便利性為首要考量；(6)科系選擇以學用相輔為原則；(7)親友或公司的支持為進修的重要資源，最後根據研究結果提出建議。
