School readiness and transition issues

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

    Abstract

    Readiness to learn and the appropriate age to start formal schooling have been debated for years. Further, there is evidence that the success of transition from Nursery to Primary might have an impact on educational achievement and motivation in later years as well. This paper will present a Scottish case study on the perspectives of parents regarding their and their child’s experience of moving to primary school, using an ecological systems framework. Implications for policy and practice; and possibilities for future research will be highlighted.
