“…O'Donnell & Zammit, 2008) that there is very little research which focuses on the transition to postgraduate study particularly, despite a wealth of literature surrounding other educational transitions. For example, transition into school has highlighted the different practices which construct nursery or kindergarten education versus that of the primary school, specifically the shift in emphasis to the pursuit of a curriculum (Hännikäinen & Rasku-Puttonen, 2010) which presents a different set of challenges for both children and teachers (see also Fabian, 2000 andDocket &Perry, 2004). In the UK, Hargreaves and Galton (2002) have focused on the transition (often referred to as transfer in their work) from primary to secondary school and once again the very different practices which construct study and participation in the different institutions has demonstrated the task which faces new secondary school students.…”

“…Some parents also showed awareness of social and emotional issues related to their children being in large groups or having difficulty separating from parents. Socio-emotional and behavioural skills have been found to be critically important in children's adjustment to school (Fabian, 2000;Margetts, 2003). Children in the study proclaimed their happiness about leaving preschool and home as they were viewed as of less importance than formal schools.…”

“…Furthermore, not all children attend preschool and not all schools have Grade R, and concerns are raised about possible disadvantages to these children. However, these deficits can be ameliorated in part when children they have strong parental encouragement and support for their learning (Moletsane, 2004;Senosi, 2004) and are supported in their transition to school (Fabian, 2000;Margetts, 2003).…”

“…Many discontinuities could be predicted: physical location, peer and carer relationships, social and academic expectations and levels of control. The goal of a successful transition might be constructed as individual students and pupils coming to terms with such discontinuities and learning to manage those (Fabian, 2000). Other frameworks that have been used to explain the transition from primary to secondary school include the ecological theory (La Paro, Pianta & Cox, 2000), socio-cultural perspective (Petriwskyj, Thorpe & Tayler, 2005).…”
