Like many ideas that inform policy, practice and research,
'transition' has many meanings. Children make a transition to
adulthood, pupils move from primary to secondary school, and there
is then a movement from school to work, training or further
education. Transitions can lead to profound and positive change and
be an impetus for new learning for some individuals and be
unsettling, difficult and unproductive for others. Transitions have
become a key concern for policy makers and the subject of numerous
policy changes over the past ten years. They are also of interest
to researchers and professionals working with different groups.
Transitions and Learning Through the Lifecourse examines
transitions across a range of education, life and work settings. It
explores the claim that successful transitions are essential for
educational inclusion, social achievement, and economic prosperity
and that individuals and institutions need to manage them more
effectively.
Aimed primarily at academic researchers and students at all
levels of study across a range of disciplines, including education,
careers studies, sociology, feminist and cultural studies, this
book is the first systematic attempt to bring together and evaluate
insights about educational, life and work transitions from a range
of different fields of research. Contributions include:
- The transition between home and school
- The effects of gender, class and age
- Transitions to further and higher education
- Transitions for students with disabilities
- Transitions into the workplace
- Learning within the workplace
- Approaches to managing transitions
