| Resumen: |
Este libro explora estrategias de transición exitosas hacia, dentro y desde la universidad para estudiantes de todo el mundo, estudiando en profundidad la Universidad Macquarie, una gran universidad australiana. Aborda el significado del éxito desde una variedad de perspectivas, incluidas las opiniones de los estudiantes, el personal y los empleadores. Los capÃtulos presentan una serie de iniciativas que han demostrado ser exitosas a la hora de ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar su potencial académico a lo largo de la universidad y más allá. Los autores de los capÃtulos utilizan una variedad de metodologÃas y enfoques que reflejan los diversos contextos y requisitos locales. Estas perspectivas internacionales demuestran un triunfo de la práctica que ha llevado al empoderamiento de individuos y grupos. Los enfoques de doce universidades ubicadas en ocho paÃses diferentes surgen directamente de la superficie del carbón y brindan muchas lecciones y herramientas valiosas que los colegas del sector podrán considerar y adaptar en sus propios contextos. Las pequeñas intervenciones importan, desde un mentor de un estudiante nervioso que alcanza la grandeza, hasta el uso de un modelo de diseño curricular que engancha a todo un grupo de estudiantes al aprendizaje y al logro. Este libro cubre tanto las pequeñas victorias individuales como las estrategias a mayor escala que respaldan el éxito. Las contribuciones provienen de Australia, Bangladesh, India, China, Nueva Zelanda, Reino Unido, Canadá, Estados Unidos, Uruguay y Sudáfrica. |

| Summary : |
This book explores successful transition strategies to, within and from university for students from around the globe, with Macquarie University, a large Australian university, studied in depth. It addresses the meaning of success taking a variety of perspectives, including student, staff and employer views. The chapters present a series of initiatives that have proven to be successful in assisting students in developing their academic potential throughout university and beyond. The authors of the chapters use a variety of methodologies and approaches reflecting the diverse local contexts and requirements. These international perspectives demonstrate a triumph of practice that has led to the empowerment of individuals and groups. The approaches from twelve universities located in eight different countries stem directly from the coalface and provide many valuable lessons and tools that colleagues in the sector will be able to consider and adapt in their own contexts. Small interventions matter, from a mentor of a nervous student who goes on to achieve greatness, to the use of a curriculum design model that hooks a whole group of students into learning and achievement. This book covers both the small, individual victories and the larger scale strategies that support success. Contributions emanate from Australia, Bangladesh, India, China, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, Uruguay and South Africa. |
