Abstract

Current research and practice related to the first year experience (FYE) of commencing higher education students are still mainly piecemeal rather than institution-wide with institutions struggling to achieve cross-institutional integration, coordination and coherence of FYE policy and practice.Drawing on a decade of FYE-related research including an ALTC Senior Fellowship and evidence at a large Australian metropolitan university, this paper explores how one institution has addressed that issue by tracing the evolution and maturation of strategies that ultimately conceptualize FYE as "everybody's business."It is argued that, when first generation co-curricular and second generation curricular approaches are integrated and implemented through an intentionally designed curriculum by seamless partnerships of academic and professional staff in a whole-of-institution transformation, we have a third generation approach labelled here as transition pedagogy.It is suggested that transition pedagogy provides the optimal vehicle for dealing with the increasingly diverse commencing student cohorts by facilitating a sense of engagement, support and belonging.What is presented here is an example of transition pedagogy in action.

  • Considerable recent work on student engagement has sought to challenge the perception of disengaged students and arrange for the transition pedagogy of the first year experience to generate high levels of student engagement and development of identity as proactive learners.

    “However, considerable recent work on student engagement in higher education has sought to challenge this perception and arrange for the transition pedagogy of the first year experience to be one that generates high levels of student engagement and the development of the identity of students 'as learners' who are proactive in their dispositions (see, for example, Kift et al 2010).”

  • While it is expected that students who enter higher education will be accomplished learners who take responsibility for their own learning, the experience of those who teach them suggests that this assumption is not as well-founded as they would desire.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
