大多数成人学生的一个共同特点是他们正在进行兼职学习。对于这些成年学习者来说，一个主要的困难是如何找到时间来学习。本文报告了兼职成人学生采取的应对机制，以满足额外的要求，研究把他们现有的承诺，工作，家庭和社会生活。数据是透过半结构式访谈收集自香港八所大学的53名兼读制学生。一个具有三个应对机制（牺牲，支持和安排的谈判）在四个领域（自我，工作，家庭和社会生活）的模型进行了分析。这些应对机制是否在足够的程度上运作，可以对学生的课程进展产生重大影响。分析网格为成人学习者提供了咨询和建议的框架。兼职成人学生也可以使用该模型来评估自己的情况，并确定哪些应对机制将为他们处理时间管理问题。
A characteristic shared by the majority of adult students is that they are undertaking part‐time study. For these adult learners one of the major difficulties is how to find time for their study. This paper reports the coping mechanisms that part‐time adult students adopt to meet the additional demands that study puts on their existing commitments to work, family and social lives. Data were collected from 53 part‐time students in eight universities in Hong Kong through semi‐structured interviews. A model featuring three coping mechanisms (sacrifice, support and negotiation of arrangements) within four domains (self, work, family and social life) was used for the analysis. Whether or not these coping mechanisms are operationalized to a sufficient extent can have a significant impact upon the students' progress with their courses. The analytical grid provides a framework for counselling and advising adult learners. Part‐time adult students can also use the model to evaluate their own situations and determine which coping mechanisms will work for them to deal with time management issues.
