Abstract

This study was aimed at adult students majoring in the healthcare field to hear stories about life and leisure following work and study at the same time. To this end, four adult students were asked to describe their current life and leisure, positive and negative aspects of their leisure, and future life and leisure, along with interviews, focusing on the daily content they felt during the course of work and study. Afterwards, the technical contents were mutually reinforced with the interview contents and described in the form of self-recording. The decrease in leisure time in adult students' work and study balance inevitably reduces the quality of life. However, each of them was making an effort not to lose the balance between the purpose of their studies and their leisure time. A student's work-study balance is a choice and process for balancing life and leisure, and the joys and sorrows in the process are thought to be the value and hope of life.

본 연구는 헬스케어분야를 전공하는 만학도를 대상으로 일과 학업병행에 따른 삶과 여가에 대한 이야기를 들어보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 4명의 만학도를 대상으로 일과 학업 병행과정에서 느끼는 일상의 내용을 중심으로 현재 삶과 여가, 여가의 긍정과 부정적인 점, 향후 삶과 여가에 대한 내용을 인터뷰와 함께 기술할 수 있도록 하였다. 이후 인터뷰 내용과 함께 기술내용을 상호보강하고 자기기입의 형식으로 서술하였다. 만학도의 일과 학업의 병행에서 여가시간의 감소는 삶의 질을 감소시킬 수 밖 에 없다. 하지만 본인의 학업의 목적과 여가의 균형을 잃지 않기 위해 저마다 노력을 하고 있었다. 만학도의 일과 학업 병행은 미래의 삶과 여가를 위한 선택이고 과정이다. 그 과정에서의 애환은 삶의 가치와 희망이라 생각된다.
