- Abstract
- Limited research has addressed the role of the learning environment for students’ successful transition to Higher Education. This scoping literature review, following PRISMA guidelines, investigated what kind of learning environment supports students in their transition to HE. From 368 peer reviewed publications identified in advanced searches, 60 papers were selected and categorized into micro, meso, and macro levels of the LE. At the micro level, instructional practices, specific introductory courses and socialization in the discipline were major themes. Studies at the meso level explored support initiatives as well as curricular approaches. The macro level examined interinstitutional diversity and institutional characteristics. Overall, our scoping review shows that the learning environment can be an important lever to support students’ transition.
