“…The study's longitudinal approach presented a view of HE as a process, and revealed how this process influenced the dynamic availability of capital, associated with a growing student identity and interpersonal relationships, and the fluctuating demands of the nursing curriculum. The ideas that traditional capital resources can alter across the student journey has been previously described by Bye et al (2019) in their study of first-year Australian university students. The present study demonstrates other dimensions of capital can alter across the whole degree journey.…”

“…Following commencement, networks of other mature-age student peers with family responsibilities were revealed as a further source of social capital. These relationships guided participants through an initially foreign environment and helped them develop a sense of belonging, a factor strongly associated with successful transition into university (Krause & Armitage, 2014) and with student wellbeing and satisfaction (Bye et al, 2019).…”

This article argues the insufficiency of the traditional application of cultural, social and economic capital in conceptualising the nontraditional student experience. Built on the thematic analysis of 52 in-depth interviews with 28 mature-age women nursing undergraduates with family responsibilities in Australia, an alternative, expanded model of capital is proposed. The qualitative study, underpinned by Gadamer's Hermeneutic Philosophy, revealed multiple threats and enablers to progression throughout the degree. Dimensions of capital previously unacknowledged in the nursing literature were necessary to fully conceptualise these rich and complex findings, including important student strengths. These dimensions: aspirational, navigational, resistant, familial and experiential capital, compensated when traditional dimensions were lacking, or incongruent with university expectations. This longitudinal study further revealed how the availability and importance of capital altered with the changing curriculum and participants' personal growth.

“…Studies have suggested that first-year students who were more stressed felt overburdened by the social demands and challenges of the transition to university life, in addition to being less capable of engaging with their new environment (Friedlander et al, 2007;Naylor et al, 2017). Academic stress has been linked to student perceptions of a lack of relatedness to or social match with the college environment (Bye et al, 2019;Rayle & Chung, 2007). The literature also contains evidence that students' stress levels were associated with the quality of their personal interactions (Dixon & Kurpius, 2008;Dvorakova et al, 2019;Hurst et al, 2013;Tieu & Pancer, 2009).…”

“…Social media plays an important role in their social practices and in the construction of their identities and relationships [7]. A growing number of works have focused on the question of how young people create and use social capital [8][9][10][11][12]. "Social capital" refers to the resources available to people through their social interactions [13].…”

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play an important role in the current educational panorama. Their presence in educational centers has increased in the last decade due to the constant development of educational policies focused on their inclusion in the classroom. However, the integration of ICT in educational spaces and practices has still not reach the levels desired by international organizations such as the OECD and UNESCO. The aim of this study is to understand the nature of the interaction between virtual spaces and school spaces, and how this interaction affects the development of students’ learning processes. To this end, we follow an interpretive research methodology using a collective case study with four students from Spain. The results highlight the scarce integration of ICT into educational centers and teaching practices. However, virtual spaces play an important role in the development of other learning processes, such as informed learning, informal learning, and learning outside of the school context. In this work, we also provide a brief overview of changes in the current educational situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
