冒險教育可以帶來的正面效益普遍受到肯定。然而，冒險教育效益機轉理論卻面臨理論多、實證少的挑戰。我國冒險教育推廣二十餘年，冒險教育效益機轉研究相當有限，冒險教育應用於大學高等教育的案例，更是鳳毛麟角。大學對青年而言，是一個學習成為成年人的重要階段，應該更積極地主動投入學習，與他人合作學習，學習獨立思考、思辨，學習解決問題的能力等複雜的能力。根據國外的研究，大學生的自我認同狀態與幸福感有關，甚至影響其學業表現。然而，國內針對大學生自我認同發展相關的討論研究，大多將學生的自我認同設定為自變項，進而了解對幸福感、自信心、生涯探索等依變項之間的相關性。至於，冒險教育應用於大學生自我認同發展的相關實證研究更是少見。本研究以質性研究，藉由東海大學Senior Alpha Leaders大學生視域與自我陳述，探究冒險教育應用於大學生自我認同發展之效益機轉建構歷程，及其效益機轉影響因素。
　　研究成果發現，東海大學Senior Alpha Leaders冒險教育課程效益機轉歷程，包含：
一、 學員課前狀態，影響學員參與課程的動機。
二、 引導員的作為營造了放心的環境，促進學員自我反思與學習。包含：引導反思、營造放心的環境、與學員的關係、成為學員的典範、給予刺激、認真的態度、反饋以及適當的自我揭露等。
三、 失衡適應的活動體驗，促進學習引發學員自我反思。
四、 互信與支持的共同學習，促進學習引發學員自我反思。
五、 課程教材的教與學，促進學員自我反思與學習。
六、 自我反思，引發學生應用所學，促進發展自我認同。
　　就自我認同發展而論，本研究發現，冒險教育幫助大學生驗證、發現，並進一步探詢其自我認同。學員課前狀態影響大學生投入課程的動機與學習，而冒險教育中的活動體驗、共同學習，加上課程材料的學習，以及學生的自我反思，幫助大學生發展其自我認同。冒險教育課程提供了大學生自我認同發展所需要的情境與條件，冒險教育效益機轉因素中，直接性效益機轉因素包含：活動體驗、課程教材的學習、共同學習、自我反思、課程內容在生活中的應用；間接性效益機轉因素，包含：選擇自主、活動中的失衡適應、創新活潑的教學、引導員的作為、放心的環境、互助與支持、反饋等。
　　就冒險教育效益機轉而論，質性研究結果比較過去國內外冒險教育效益機轉因素，本研究在冒險教育效益機轉因素方面有新的發現，包含：選擇自主、引導員的作為、互信支持與反饋的共同學習、創新活潑的教學、課程教材的學習等。此外，也發現冒險教育效益機轉歷程，具有促進自我認同發展的類似歷程，冒險體驗歷程中的自我反思與選擇自主，可幫助學生成為自我統合的獨立個體。

The effectiveness of adventure education (AE) is widely recognized. Theories about its mechanism for AE effects abound, but many of them lack sufficient empirical support. AE has been in Taiwan for more than 20 years, but researches on its mechanism for AE effects are few and case studies on its effects on higher education are even fewer. University is a key stage for adolescents to learn to become adults by active learning, independent thinking and problem solving. Researches show that college students’ sense of happiness and academic performance are highly related to their identity formation. But local researchers rarely focus on identity formation. It is often treated as an independent variable and the focus is more on its effects on confidence, sense of happiness or career exploration. Evidence-based research on AE effects on college students’ identity formation is nearly nonexistent. This paper studied the Alpha Leaders Program in Tunghai University, Taiwan. This study used the qualitative research approach to analyze the participants’ accounts and interpretations of the program to see why and how AE is helpful to their identity formation.

This study found that the mechanism for Senior Alpha Leaders AE effects include:
1. Their learning motivation is affected by their pre-class readiness.
2. Facilitators create the safe and open environment which produce the self-reflection and learning effectiveness with essential behaviors e.g. facilitation, positive facilitator-student relationship, model the way, providing challenges, sincerely manners, direct feedback and appropriate self-disclosure.
3. Adaption to dissonance during activity experiences produce self-reflection and learning effectiveness.
4. The experience of mutual learning with trust and support produce self-reflection and learning effectiveness.
5. Learning materials in AE enhance the self-reflection and learning effectiveness.
6. Self-reflection produce the learning transfer which enhance the identity formation.
In terms of identity formation, researcher found that AE can help college students to authenticate, discover and explore their identity. Their learning motivation is affected by their pre-class readiness. And AE, by providing learning materials and experience of mutual learning and self-reflection, is useful for students’ identity formation. Participants gain access through the program to the necessary environment, stimulations and interpersonal interaction to know themselves deeper and better. The paper also identified some factors influencing AE’s impacts to student’s identity formation. Direct factors include activity experience, learning materials, mutual learning, self-reflection, and learning transfer of what is learned at AE. Indirect ones include autonomy of choice, adaption to dissonance, creative teaching, facilitators’ essential behaviors, safe and open environment, mutual trust and support, and feedback.

In terms of mechanism for AE effects, this study found new factors in this study e.g. autonomy of choice; facilitator’s essential behaviors; experience of mutual learning with mutual trust, support and feedback; creative teaching; learning materials. In addition, this study found that the mechanism for AE effects provide a similar and enhancing process to individual identity formation. And AE, by providing self-reflection and autonomy of choice, help students becoming a self-identity individual with wholeness.
