  abstract     = {{Students' experiences of their first year of studying are of prime importance for their further development in Higher Education (HE). Consequently, the first year and the related phenomena of student performance, retention, and dropout have been extensively studied. Research shows that during the first year, the individual student's ability or failure to adapt to the new socio-cultural environment influences his/her academic success. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the actual processes through which students integrate into the socio-cultural context of HE. Applying a socio-cultural approach, our qualitative interview study followed 14 university students through their first year, investigating why some students experience an easier transition into HE compared to others. Our research results in a typology of four transition types characterized by their orientation towards the socio-cultural context of studying.}},

  abstract     = {{The first year of studying has been extensively researched applying different theoretical lenses to better understand the transition into Higher Education (HE). It is of particular interest to investigate how students deal with frictions between themselves as individuals and what they perceive to be dominant features of the first-year culture of their studies. To tackle this question, a qualitative longitudinal study was conducted. Based on a sociocultural understanding of attitudes and motivations, its aim was to closely follow a relatively small but highly diverse sample of students throughout their first year at a business school in order to develop an in-depth understanding of each individual’s motivational and attitudinal development.}},
