Beschreibung
This is an international, interdisciplinary and research-based handbook about various educational and life transitions. This handbook has 30 chapters, divided into five parts according to their focus: theoretical/conceptual, multiple transitions, multi-dimensional transitions, dynamic environment, and research/practice/education. Editor Jindal-Snape's Multiple and Multi-dimensional Transitions (MMT) Theory runs as a thread through and between each chapter. MMT Theory takes a complex view of transitions and proposes that each individual experiences multiple transitions simultaneously, and in doing so can trigger transitions for significant others, and vice versa. Chapters lean into this complexity as they delve into childhood and youth transitions into education and care and between school and work, as well as professional transitions into leadership, and family and life transitions.
The handbook is the first reference work to establish transitions research as a field in its own right. It presents two new frameworks and principles for undertaking effective multiple and multi-dimensional transitions research and practice. This handbook will be of relevance to researchers and professionals, from a range of sectors, disciplines and regions. The engaging style of the chapters, make complex concepts accessible to those with varied levels of expertise in transitions research and practice.

“I loved the handbook and enjoyed reading it. Building on a foundation of decades of research, this handbook offers fresh insights into the complex, dynamic nature of transitions and provides practical ideas regarding potential ‘pillars’ for intervention. Collectively the authors push the field of transitions research through the exploration of Jindal-Snape’s Multiple and Multi-Dimensional Transitions Theory across a wide range of transitions and contexts, highlighting the value of an interdisciplinary focus and extending our thinking in this important field.” (Sally Peters, Professor of Education at the University of Waikato, New Zealand and co-editor of “The Bloomsbury Handbook of Early Childhood Transitions Research” (Bloomsbury, 2024))
“By arguing that transitions constitute a field in their own right, this handbook makes a bold and significant scholarly contribution. Drawing on deep expertise, Jindal-Snape introduces an innovative framework for understanding transitions across research and practice, while humbly inviting critique and adaptation.” (Dorene F. Balmer, Professor of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and author of “The Long Arc of Training: Six Stories of Aspiring Doctors” (University of Toronto Press, 2026))
