Desarrollo de la teoría de la transición de Scholossberg y su aplicabilidad en el contexto de los estudiantes universitarios.

Abstract

This research aims to present the development of the model of analysis of human adaptation to the transition of Schlossberg and its associates, with emphasis on the approach to characterization of the event as well as the system of potential resources (4S's). In addition, we verify the studies that have been used of such a model for the analysis of the transition process of new students in undergraduate courses. For this purpose, a qualitative literature review was carried out. The theory presents itself in the psychosocial aspect and postulates that the transition refers to four sets of variables, related to the situation, the individual characteristics (self), the support and the strategies. The relevance of psycho-social analyzes is emphasized given the reciprocity of effects on the student's performance, however, it is noteworthy the scarcity of studies in the context of transition in a university context.
