Higher Education Transitions: Theory and Research de Eva Kyndt

Higher Education Transitions: Theory and Research: New Perspectives on Learning and Instruction

Editat de Eva Kyndt, Vincent Donche, Keith Trigwell, Sari Lindblom-Ylänne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mai 2017
In the current era where lifelong learning is brought to the fore, higher education can no longer be regarded as an isolated trajectory within one’s educational career as many students face substantial challenges in crafting their professional future. More specifically, the transition from school to higher education and continuing to the labour market are often a difficult hurdles for many students. Almost half of students do not succeed in the first year and often withdraw from education, students are faced with a variety of contexts and may choose to study in a different (international) context, and they are then confronted with structural barriers in finding a (high-quality) job, as evidenced by increasing levels of youth unemployment and underemployment.
Higher Education Transitions aims to deepen our understanding of the transitions taking place when students enter, progress and leave higher education to enter the labour market. Drawing on an international team of contributors, this guide includes three conceptual and fifteen empirical studies which include a range of quantitative, qualitative, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Divided into three sections to reflect each important transition phase, topics include:
  • transitions from secondary to higher education;
  • transitions within higher education;
  • transitions from higher education to the labour market.
By considering transitions across different phases as a broad and interrelated process, this guide will be essential reading for higher education researchers, policy stakeholders and all those interested in the transitions into higher education and the labour market.

Recenzii

Review 1
  • The proposed book is very relevant and timely. Transitions to higher education and further from education to work have proved to be critical phases in individuals’ educational and career paths. Recent fast changes in society and the world of work have made them even more critical than before
  • Transitions form a challenge to the education systems and pedagogical practices, and practitioners and policy makers need research based knowledge to support students and graduates in and through these transitions.
  • The scientific merit of this book lies in its strong empirical nature
Review 2
  • This book is highly relevant to the domain of learning and instruction. It is particularly timely given current high levels of youth unemployment and high participation levels in higher education, making successful transitions paramount. The relevance of the proposal is greatly enhanced by the bredth of coverage, other texts focusing on transtions are often narrow in scope.
  • This proposal has high scientific merit. It draws effectively on a good range of relevant theoretical perspectives and it’s particularly valuable that the proposal covers both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and includes longitudinal studies.
  • The emphasis on a wide range of different student transitions is original and valuable. The chapters include a rich array of original approaches to considering student transitions.
  • The book proposal shows considerable bredth. It is particularly pleasing to see that transitions into, within and out of higher education are considered. Too many texts in this area have focused only on transitions into higher education.
  • I would expect that this book would be very influential in the field. I would certainly recommend it to my colleagues who have an interest in transtions. The authorship of the book includes many highly respected leaders in research into higher education.
