From further to higher education: transition as an on-going process (2017, background): “To do this, we identified themes from the literature including the lack of tacit knowledge of the university system (Leese 2010), the challenges to secure identity formation (Reay et al. 2010) and the emotions generated by changing identities (Bathmaker & Thomas 2009).”
