From When and Where I Enter: Theoretical and Empirical Considerations of Minority Students’ Transition to College

Understanding Student Identity From a Socialization Perspective

“…In order to assess how Weidman' s (1989) model of undergraduate socialization has been used in recent years to enhance understanding of student identity development, we first identified a set of 17 articles and chapters published between 2003 and 2013 that used the model explicitly in research design and interpretation of results. Several focus on diverse populations (Antonio, 2004;Carter, Locks, & Winkle-Wagner, 2013;Cole, 2011;Davis et al, 2010;Eagan et al, 2013;Espinosa, 2011;Holley & Taylor, 2009;Inkelas, 2003;Johnson, 2012), and two explore the role of parental influences during college (Agliata & Renk, 2008;Sax & Wartman, 2010). Other topics addressed include civic values (Lott, 2013), social networking (Corwin & Cintrón, 2011), and student retention (Titus, 2004).…”

Making the leap to medical education: a qualitative study of medical educators' experiences

“…Using psychosocial transition theory, we conceptualise the process of becoming a medical educator as one of moving out of one relatively stable state (primary professional identity) through a series of sometimes stressful changes that lead to a transition into another relatively stable state (medical educator identity) …”

“…Using psychosocial transition theory, we conceptualise the process of becoming a medical educator as one of moving out of one relatively stable state (primary professional identity) through a series of sometimes stressful changes that lead to a transition into another relatively stable state (medical educator identity). 10 There is a difference between change and transition. 11 Change is situational: it may involve taking on a new teaching or leadership role, starting a new job, encountering a new group of students or managers, or working within a different appraisal system.…”

First-year Students’ Adjustment to University Life: A Case Study of Implementing College Buddy Program

“…It is not surprising that many students all around the world experience difficulty adjusting to their new life in university (Boute et al, 2007, p. 666). According to Carter et al (2013), higher education institutions face critical issues with new students in terms of their commitment toward their study. To reduce withdrawal rate during the first year of college, higher education providers apply transition programs to help students in the transition process (Sankar & Raju, 2011).…”
