本研究主要目的在了解國中直升高中學生的生活適應經驗，包括適應之阻礙與因應方式。研究參與者為已經自完全中學畢業之66位學生。研究方法以「直升同學生活經驗問卷」為工具，讓參與者回溯高中階段之生活適應經驗。資料分析方式採質性資料分析中的紮根理論方法。研究結果發現：第一，學生主觀知覺到的直升適應阻礙包括學習自我效能低落，包括教師刻板印象、學業阻礙、升學阻礙；人際生活阻礙以及進入大學適應不足等層面；第二，直升制度對直升高中學生的適應而言亦產生特定的保護因素，包括個人、社會、與環境三大因素；以及第三，國中直升高中學生的生活適應可歸納為一具有系統性的脈絡架構。本研究最後根據研究結果加以討論，並針對實務工作及未來研究提出建議。

The purpose of the study was to explore the life adjustment of senior high school students who entered the high school directly from junior level of the same high school. The “Life Experiences Questionnaire” was developed and completed by 66 participants. Data were analyzed by the three steps proposed by grounded theory. Results indicated that: (1) barriers perceived by the participants included academic self-efficacy problems, interpersonal relationship, and college entrance problems; (2) the entrance system from junior level directly to senior level provided specific protective factors for their life adjustment; and (3) a systemic framework can be used to explain high school students’ life adjustment. Implications for counseling practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.
