Facilitating the transition: doing more than bridging the gap between school and university geography

ABSTRACT

This paper explores issues, perceptions, and experiences related to the transition from studying geography at school to university. The findings seek to highlight that there are a range of stakeholders that can be engaged in this transition process, as well as a range of strategies for doing so. The transition from school to university geography has a number of implications for both students and educators, and this paper seeks to discuss reinvigorate discussions around transitions in the geographical community.
