ABSTRACT This research project describes a phenomenological study exploring the hope experiences of young adults who have gone through the journey from academic failure to success. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with eight participants from low-functioning families. By using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the researchers identified four primary themes representing the hope experience and meaning in the participants’ life situation: (a) adverse conditions, (b) motivation of interest, (c) positive thoughts and (d) relationship support. The findings support and contribute new aspects to the knowledge of hope study. The results highlight ‘positive thoughts and relationship support’ as the integral part of the phenomenon of hope. It suggests that college counsellors should assess the availability of perceived positive thoughts and relationship support in order to design tailor-made programmes for the young adults. College counsellor and academic staff may collaborate on curriculum design through which teacher can use classroom activities to promote students’ hopeful thinking. College counsellor can play an important role in developing hope within the classroom.

未通过公开考试的年轻人的希望经历

摘要本研究项目描述了一项现象学研究，旨在探索经历过从学业失败到成功的年轻人的希望经历。对来自低功能家庭的八名参与者进行了半结构化的深度访谈。通过使用解释现象学分析，研究人员确定了代表参与者生活状况的希望体验和含义的四个主要主题：（a）不利条件，（b）兴趣动机，（c）积极思想和（d）关系支持。这些发现为希望研究的知识提供了支持，并为其提供了新的方面。结果强调“积极思想和关系支持”是希望现象的组成部分。它建议大学辅导员应该评估所感知的积极思想和关系支持的可用性，以便为年轻人设计量身定制的课程。高校辅导员和学术人员可以在课程设计上进行协作，通过该课程教师可以利用课堂活动来促进学生的有希望的思维。高校辅导员可以在课堂上建立希望中发挥重要作用。
