为了解释向高等教育过渡的过程以及可能与学生流失相关的因素,已经进行了广泛的研究。  本文整合了作者关于学生过渡到成人和高等教育衔接课程以及本科大学学习的研究,并提出了一种利用财务挑战和家庭第一地位等客观条件来解释自然减员现象的替代方法。  身份理论被用作开发理论框架的基础,该框架将帮助在这些领域工作的教育工作者更充分地参与并帮助学生发展必要的学术和学术身份,以在向高等教育过渡期间维持适当和有效的学术行为。
There has been extensive research done with a view to explaining the processes of transition into tertiary study and the factors that may be associated with student attrition.  This paper consolidates the authors’ research in relation to the transition of students into adult and tertiary bridging programs and undergraduate university study and presents an alternative approach to the use of objective conditions such as financial challenges and first-in-family status in explaining the attrition phenomenon.  Identity theory is used as the basis to develop a theoretical framework that will assist educators working in these areas to engage more fully with and assist students to develop the academic and scholarly identity necessary to sustain appropriate and effective academic behaviours during the transition into tertiary education.
