視覺藝術科系學生進入高等教育之前,多已接受數年藝術專業訓練才能通過術科考試進入大學。懷抱創作理想的視覺藝術科系學生,畢業前卻可能面對成為藝術家之不確定感而產生生涯阻礙現象。本初探研究嘗試以Holland生涯興趣六角模型推論之視覺藝術精進專業的職業特質,篩選可能分布於六角模型之不同角落的視覺藝術科系高年級生六名,設計藝術治療生涯探索工作坊,協助覺知其生涯阻礙,後續安排深度訪談,歸納整理個人生涯發展議題並探究生涯阻礙之因素。研究結果顯示,社會認知生涯理論最能說明脈絡中形成的生涯阻礙,學習環境、人際互動、個人狀態為影響生涯阻礙之主要因素。然而,環境脈絡中的幾個因素交錯影響,生涯阻礙也可能成為提升自我效能的刺激因素。藝術治療生涯探索工作坊協助研究參與者提升對於個人興趣特質、能力與職業技能之理解,同時由工作與社團經驗以及理論學科之學習中發現專長,增加對生涯阻礙的理解並提升因應的能量。最後提出本研究之結論與建議,供未來相關研究者參考。
Art major students are trained to have numerous drawing and creative techniques to pass the entrance exam for their professional development at the university. Due to the uncertainties of being an artist, most of them feel confused about their future and have developed career barriers when facing graduation. Based on Holland's hexagon model, six senior art major students distributed over different angles of his hexagon model were selected to participate in an art therapy career exploration workshop, followed by in-depth interviews to inquire about personal career developmental issues and factors of career barriers. The results show that social cognitive career theory can describe the formation of career barriers among these participants, while learning environment, interpersonal relationships, and personal issues are the main factors shaping those barriers. However, several of the factors are inter-related, and these career barriers may stimulate stronger self-efficiency. The art therapy career exploration workshop helped participants enhance their understanding of their own personalities, interests, and career abilities and discover special personal career skills through experiencing part-time jobs and student organizations; doing so, the workshop promoted their personal understanding of career barriers and raised the students' enthusiasm to deal with them. Finally, conclusions and suggestions for future research are provided.
