• W101067354 abstract "AbstractThis article describes results of a study conducted into transition of students from a diploma course into mainstream university undergraduate programs. The main aim of study was to explore issues that relate to successful transition from perspective of students themselves. To that end, data were collected from 78 respondents to an online survey of students enrolled in mainstream study in a public university, who had previously undertaken a diploma with private pathway provider. Follow-up in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 students.Issues that were considered included English language development, academic adjustment and social adjustment. Participants were also invited to comment on their experience of pathway provider in terms of how well it prepared them for mainstream study. The findings indicated that there are many factors which can facilitate successful transition, and that in general pathway was valued for its capacity to ease students into becoming familiar with university environment and coping with demands of mainstream study.Keywordstransition to higher education, academic adjustmentIntroductionThe number of students articulating from non-school-based, post-compulsory education courses into universities in Australia has risen markedly in past two decades, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of overall student population. This has no doubt been assisted by creation of Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) in 1995, which was intended to support movement between educational and enhance comparability of qualifications. Such pathway programs are an embedded feature of Australian higher education sector, with a diversity of programs delivered through both public and private institutions. Their significance for recruitment of international students is highlighted by a benchmark study of universities' recruitment via pathway programs carried out by Australian Universities International Directors Forum in 2006 (reported in Adams, Burgess, & Phillips, 2009), which found that 12.4 per cent of commencements [for 23 of 26 universities providing data] were recruited from university's own pathways, on or offshore (p. 181).As range and diversity of student recruitment pathways increase, it is important that both pathway providers and their partner universities pay attention to factors that might impact on that specific cohort's educational experience. Issues such as students' adjustment, academic progress and overall wellbeing need to be clearly understood, to allow development of approaches and activities which facilitate successful transition. Moreover, this is something that was encouraged in 2009 AQF National Policy and Guidelines on Credit Arrangements, which stated that clear and transparent quality assurance mechanisms are essential for ensuring confidence in credit decisions made by different education and training providers and sectors (Australian Qualifications Framework Council, 2009, p. 17). While there is a strong emphasis on efficacy of pathway courses within AQF, little work has been done to explore actual lived experience of pathway students as they transition to higher education setting. The study described in this article sought to address this gap. It was undertaken by one private pathway provider, in collaboration with its public university partner, to examine former pathway students' transition experience and to obtain their retrospective views about how well they believed their college experience had prepared them for undergraduate studies.The pathway provider, described hereafter as the College, is located on main campus of its primary destination university (subsequently referred to as the University), and enrols up to 1500 fee-paying students at any one time. When research was conducted, 85 per cent of enrolled students were international, and 15 per cent were domestic. …" @default.
