- Abstract:
- Continuing education was becoming popular in Taiwan's society. It benefited adults with extra opportunity and promoting job skills that had been working for many years. However, continuing education also imposed burdens on the students. The pressure was mainly from multiple roles they were required to take care of family, schooling, and work simultaneously.;The purpose of this study was designed to measure non-traditional students' perceptions of role conflicts between work and school and subsequent coping strategies, and to determine factors relevant to the role conflict and coping.;To conduct the survey, a questionnaire was developed to investigate the work and school conflict and coping strategies. Results of the study were based on usable responses received from 485 non-traditional students in technological and vocational colleges, with a return rate of 80.83%.;This study found marital status had a significant effect on work and school conflict, and coping strategies. The single students were better at work and school conflict and the married students were better at coping. In addition, maturity which was defined by combining age and years of work experience had a significant relationship with work and school conflict and coping strategies. For the participants in this study, there was a significant relationship among development conflict, quality conflict, and coping strategies.
