本研究旨在發展「背包客轉化學習量表」，並探討背包客旅遊動機、轉化學習、個人發展之關係，本研究程序共分為四階段：首先，參考相關文獻理論建構題庫，透過專家審核修正，完成初步問項建構；接著抽取150份樣本進行項目分析、探索性因素分析進行量表純化；再以450份樣本進行驗證性因素分析確認因素結構及信效度指標，結果顯示本量表具有良好信效度；最後，針對背包客之旅遊動機、轉化學習、個人發展進行變項關係之探討。主要研究結果如下：
一、背包客轉化學習量表包含行為、信念、心理以及社會知覺四大構面，共14題，具有良好信效度。
二、不同性別、國籍、學歷以及跨洲旅行經驗之背包客在轉化學習上具有顯著差異。
三、背包客之旅遊動機程度高低是影響轉化學習、個人發展之重要變項。
四、背包客之轉化學習與個人發展呈現正相關。
本研究驗證此量表具有良好的信效度，可供後續相關研究繼續使用。

The purpose of this study was to construct and develop Transformative Learning Scale for Backpackers (TLSB). There were four phases of this study. First phase was to develop a preliminary scale based on literature review and related scales. In the second phase, exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha were utilized to examine the factor validity and reliability. The third phase consisted of comfirmatory factor analysis and criterion related validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, composite reliability, and average variance extracted were also included. The final phase was the examination of the relationships among motivations, transformative learning experiences, and personal development. The results were as follows:
1. The TLSB included 14 questions under 4 factors which were” behavioral”, “psychological”, “convictional”, and “social perception”. In addition, it showed the scale has good reliability and validity.
2. Backpackers’ transformative learning experience was affected by “gender”, “nationality”, “education level”, and “the backpacker experience to other continents”.
3. Motivation was an important factor to affect backpackers’ transformative learning experiences and personal development.
4. There was a positive relation between backpackers’ transformative learning experiences and personal development.
The reliability and validity of the TLSB has be confirmed and can be used for further investigation.
