Description
"This book combines critical discussion and empirical research as it unpacks how factors at all levels influence students' transition experiences from secondary school to university and employment. The chapters explore at a macro level the often complex relationships between main stakeholders: policymakers, secondary school and higher education institution staff, parents, caregivers, and those in industry. At the micro level, it deploys new approaches to understanding transitions: the Capital Model and Agentic Capital principles as conceptual frameworks. These frameworks do not focus solely on human capital (e.g., academic content), but investigate a wide range of different factors related to students' cultural understanding, social networks, resilience, goals, and agency as determinants of their transition outcomes. Case studies of transition experiences in various contexts are evaluated under the new conceptual frameworks, thus adding depth and greater insights to the existing educational literature about students' transitions. This volume offers student stories to provide perspectives from different student groups as well as the theoretical frameworks that can be used to inform practical actions and influence policy direction. A must read for all academic staff working in schools, higher education, and policymakers"--
