| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會教育學系 === 107 === In recent years, non-commercial homestay tourism was increasingly adopted as a way to travel by the youth in Taiwan but few of the studies focus on participates’ learning process stimulated by the environment. The study aims to deeply explore the experiential learning process for non-commercial homestay tourists and to analyze how participates form their personal learning experience from the side of Goffman’s dramaturgical analysis and Dewey’s concept of experience. Based on in-depth interviews and semi-structured interviews, these findings were drawn from an examination of youths who took part in the work exchange in Taiwan. By studying on participates’ performance at the front stage as well as certain “inappropriate actions” hidden in the backstage, this study displays the series of symbolic meanings in the work exchange fields. Moreover, the process of sensing these ordinary symbols contributes to the learning effects. Here are the findings: The motivation of the participates is the key to start a learning process. Through the interaction with others, the participates summarize their “script” for their role. In other words, this script changes frequently. the participates use the technique of impression management to avoid the inappropriate performance. However, this learning process is not always smoothly, they need to adjust their behaviors, values to fit in their role when the reality is over their imaginations. At last, this study support Dewey’s concept of experience with the horizon of sociology to emphasize the importance of culture context for individuals.
