Factors affecting the learning transitions:
In general, the theories of transition are of the view that, the economic, social, political as
well as the technological changes in the society affects an individual largely. Scholssberg viewed
transition as the “event or non event that results in changed relationships, routines assumptions
and roles.” In the learning processes, this transition is an important aspect that determines the
future of an individual largely (Gribble et al. 2017). The various models and theories of
transition describe the response of the individuals to the change that has happened either in their
lives or in the environment. it is also an issue of concern that the negative transitions are the
cause of stress in many individual. Among the key factors that affects the students undergoing
transitions are:
1. Cultural change: Transitions in the era of globalisation has been a common factor. Specially
students from the developing third world countries are opting for migrations into the developed
nation for gaining the desired facilities and exposure. Though this seems to be a prospective
factor, the major issue that is being faced by them is the change of culture, which becomes hard
for them to cope up. With the rise in the cross border activities in today’s world, adaptation in a
different culture, has been a common issue. However, researchers have pointed out that the
psychological process are the main emergent results of the transaction between the individual’s
ontogenetic history and social frame work and the newly perceived model. This approach takes
into account the individual traits which constructed as well as entwined with specific mediums
like norms, language, custom or values. The change in the social practices often makes the
migrant students feel out of the place and thus they find difficulties in coping up with them.

Curriculum change: The changes in the design of the curriculum structure in different countries
also affect the learning process of the individuals. Though there are various countries that have
schools that do not follow the curriculum as prescribed by the host nations, but follow a global
approach. the influence of the host country remains in there. The nature of teaching as well as
learning, the matter of interests of learning among the students of the particular place, the
resources available affect the curriculum formation (Phillips and Simon Davies 2016).
Curriculum are generally formed in keeping with the aims and objectives as well as the general
requirements and target attainments of the society. this often results in the change of curriculum
among various nations particularly the developing and the developed nations. Again, it has been
often noted that the time frame of a particular curriculum varies in places. For example, the in
England, the skills, matters and processes are taught according to the maturities and abilities of
students at the key stage. In various countries the curriculum is more theory based on depends on
the learning process while in others, the understanding and practical applications are of focal
importance. These changes in curriculum often affect the learning transitions.
Language: Language barrier in classroom is one of the major issues that affect students in coping
up with the educational process. Language barriers often prevent the immigrant students from
learning and getting the most out of the education. In various nations, however, the barriers are
being tried to rule out by incorporating visual modes of learning. Though this is one of the
alternatives, this cannot be a full proof alternative. Language problem is faced majorly by the
students who are weak in English as this is one of the most internationally used language (Spinks
and Coleth 2016).
