Decoding Transitions to College: Crossing the High School/College Frontier
die hochschullehre 36/2025
This article presents the Decoding Transitions to College initiative, which aims to bridge the gap between high school and college through collaborative approaches. The program brings together high school and college educators to identify and address disciplinary learning bottlenecks that students face during the transition to higher education. The project was developed and refined using a designbased implementation research approach. Over multiple iterations, educators from both educational levels engaged in structured dialogues in two subjects per cohort, based on the Decoding the Disciplines method. The objective was to analyze learning challenges, uncover implicit expert knowledge, and develop strategies to support students in overcoming these obstacles. The article highlights the professional development activities of the participating educators and presents two specific learning bottlenecks alongside their solutions. By innovatively applying the Decoding the Disciplines approach in this collaboration, its potential to enhance teaching practices beyond higher education is clearly demonstrated.
