Abstract | Transition to higher education is challenging, and first year students need support to facilitate a positive experience. Key issues include positive transition; problem-solving perceptions; and support from peers. This study examined relationships among student transition, problem-solving ability, and academic success. Student transition was measured using Lizzio's (2006) Student Transition Scale. |
