Issue 10/4 of the Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung published

The latest issue of the Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung (ZFHE) was just published: issue 10/4 (December 2015) on "Enculturation and development of beginning students" was supervised by Tobias Jenert (St. Gallen), Liisa Postareff (Helsinki), Taiga Brahm (St. Gallen) & Sari Lindblom-Ylänne (Helsinki).

Starting with this issue, the ZFHE will publish one English-speaking edition per year on a topic of international interest, in order to disseminate German-language research results beyond our borders and to encourage discussion in an international context. This first English-language edition focuses on the experiences and the academic socialization of first-year university students. The articles offer both diagnoses and differentiations in terms of different types of first-year students, as well as highlighting their experiences and development during their introduction to the academic environment and examining connections between their academic development and the existing educational environment.

In addition to the online version, the issue is available as a print publication in bookstores (see Publications).
