英国全国成人学习调查强调，毕业生比其他群体更有可能参与进一步的学习，并受到主题的内在本质的激励。然而，除此之外，我们对毕业生作为一个特定群体的学习知之甚少。特别是，我们对高等教育经历如何影响毕业后的学习态度知之甚少。为了开始弥补这一差距，本文对来自六所不同英国高等教育机构的 90 名毕业生进行了深入访谈，这些毕业生在他们完成第一个学位五年后。它认为，对于许多年轻人来说，高等教育对继续学习的影响体现在三个层面：学习的过程；学习者身份的构建；以及对学习与更广阔世界之间关系的理解。
The UK's National Adult Learning Survey has emphasised that graduates are more likely than other groups of people to engage in further learning and to be motivated by the intrinsic nature of the subject matter. However, beyond this we know relatively little about the learning of graduates as a specific group. In particular, we know very little about how experiences of higher education affect attitudes towards learning in the years after graduation. To start to redress this gap, this paper draws on in-depth interviews with 90 graduates from six different UK higher education institutions, five years after they completed their first degree. It argues that, in the case of many of these young adults, the influence of higher education on further learning was exerted at three levels in relation to: the process of learning; the construction of learner identities; and understandings of the relationship between learning and the wider world.
