Abstract | Transition programs have emerged as a support for adult learners seeking college education. Adult learners' perspectives are missing in the literature on transition programs. To better support adult learners in transition programs, it is essential to understand their experiences and perspectives. Using Schlossberg's Transition Theory (Anderson, Goodman, & Schlossberg, 2012) and Cross's (1991) student barrier categorizations as a framework, this narrative study investigates the experiences of five adult learners enrolled in a transition program. The findings indicate that the relationships the participants formed through the program served as a support system, and that participation in the program led to a shift in self-perception. The participant narratives also highlight barriers to college enrollment for adult learners, such as difficulty using technology and health related issues. (As Provided). |
