The study seeks to understand BTEC students’ experiences of transition between FE and HE and to inform the development and evaluation of interventions to support this transition.
We can underestimate how prepared students are for studying at university. The Reciprocal Journeys project created a space for staff and students at university and at college to better understand their experience of the learning and teaching that they encounter in their respective environments. A film of this exchange has been created as a tool for staff development. We hoped to address the concern that ‘Induction into HE’ can be so focused on the HE context, that it can largely ignore students’ prior experiences of learning.
