What affect dose a teacher have on the transition from High school to College level education for a student? Can the way a professor instructs his/ her class play a defining roll in a students learning experience? How can certain course models affect a students transition from High school to College? By answering these questions we can better understand the toll students experience via the transition from secondary to higher education. Wingate states in his work “A Framework for Transition: Supporting? And ‘Learning to Learn’ in Higher Education” that "when a student enters into university level education their ability to learn and understand should increase twofold as well as their competence in constructing knowledge within a discipline …show more content…
Chalmers explains in “Progress and Challenges to the Recognition and Reward of the Scholarship of Teaching in Higher Education” that for secondary education this is the norm, it is understood that if a teacher wants to strongly influence the way a student learns they need to form some kind of bond with their students (qtd. In Richardson and Radloff). Sadly in higher education this way of teaching has been all but lost, as Macfarlane explains in his article “Prizes, Pedagogic Research and Teaching Professors: Lowering the Status of Teaching and Learning through Bifurcation” it seems as though actual teaching has become a secondary importance with professors instead preferring a more research based class and ultimately failing to make any significant connection with their students (qtd. In Richardson and Radloff). While college professors often fail to make any meaning full connections with their students, even the percentage of those who do is steadily falling do to the integration of online classes as stated by Bramble and Panda in their article titled "Economics of Distance and Online Learning: Theory, Practice and Research" this use of online classes rather than face to face classes may be more convenient for some, but it makes many worry about the quality of learning in modern day higher education (qtd. In Richardson and Radloff). Online courses …show more content…
The answer is the way classes are taught ultimately make them more difficult thus teachers make classes more difficult. Professors in college prefer to teach their classes with a more loosely regulated method compaired to their secondary education counter parts who prefer a more shared regulation class (Oolbekkink-Marchand, Driel & Verloop). Along with this there is also the fact that higher education instructors are much less likely to get to know their students on a personal level or to make a significant connection with them as Macfarlane states in his work titled “Prizes, Pedagogic Research and Teaching Professors: Lowering the Status of Teaching and Learning through Bifurcation” (qtd. In Richardson and Radloff). Also some students may find the transition from high school to college level education more difficult because they lack the ability to regulate their own self learning (R. Belski and I. Belski). Students may also face more difficulty than their peers in the transition because they will not use procedures like TERISSA or Task Evaluation and Reflection Instrument for Student Self-Assessment to assist them in assessing their own self learning (R. Belski and I. Belski). Thankfully there are things like learning outcomes in place to assist teachers in deciding how to teach their class to guarantee the
