Abstract: For many children the transition from primary to secondary school is an important event in life. Little is known about children’s concerns and expectations about the new school prior to this transition. Therefore, the present study, which is part of the Vienna School Transition Study (VSTS), investigated this subject. Children ( N = 856) were asked to appraise the transition to secondary school, which was perceived as a challenge and a threat (in terms of transactional stress theory, e.g., Lazarus & Folkma… Show more

“…The educational transition from primary to secondary school can be a challenging and stressful life event for many children. 21,22 It has been suggested that there is an increased emphasis on social interactions as children move into secondary schools and that 'fitting in' and 'belonging' become of key importance. 23 Children's educational attainment and self-esteem have both been found to suffer during their transition to a new school.…”

“…However, it has been proposed that the transition to secondary school could also be viewed as a life event which may have positive, as well as negative, effects. 21 Therefore, the aim of this project was to investigate the impact of gender, visible dental differences and self-reported satisfaction with dental appearance on children's OHRQoL during their educational transition from primary to secondary school. The findings presented in this paper represent part of a larger research project that explored the experiences of children with and without dental differences during their transition to secondary schools, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches.…”

“…Σύμφωνα με τη βιβλιογραφία η μετάβαση εκδηλώνεται στις εξής τέσσερις διαδοχικές φάσεις: α) προετοιμασία, β) είσοδος, γ) επαγωγή και δ) προσαρμογή (Benner & Graham, 2009). Έτσι στη φάση της προετοιμασίας οι μαθητές αποκτούν βασικές κοινωνικο-συναισθηματικές δεξιότητες με σκοπό να φοιτήσουν στο Γυμνάσιο (φάση εισόδου), οικοδομούν σταδιακώς την προσωπική και κοινωνική τους ταυτότητα (φάση επαγωγής) με σκοπό να προσαρμοστούν στην κουλτούρα του νέου σχολικού περιβάλλοντος (φάση προσαρμογής) (Sirsch, 2003). Συνακόλουθα, οι μαθητές που δεν έχουν προετοιμαστεί επαρκώς ενδεχομένως να εκδηλώσουν δυσκολίες να ανταποκριθούν στα νέα κοινωνικο-εκπαιδευτικά δεδομένα του Γυμνασίου, ενισχύονται δε στην περίπτωση, που συν-επιδρούν: α) δυσμενείς ενδογενείς (αρνητικά συναισθήματα, διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις) (Bloyce & Frederickson, 2012) και β) εξωγενείς παράγοντες (ομάδα συνομηλίκων οικογενειακό περιβάλλον), που σχετίζονται με τις ιδιαίτερες παραμέτρους της λειτουργίας του Γυμνασίου (Tilleczek, 2008).…”
