Description
<p> The aim of this paper is to analyze the structure of choice involved in a transfer and the impact of the transfer experience on students in Japan by focusing on how they adapt to their new university environment and on what changes occur before and after transferring. The data were collected from 23 schools and/or universities during November and December 2007 and include the opinions of 239 transfer students.</p><p> I used Wilcoxon’s sign rank sum test to analyze three specific quantitative variables : the overall degree of satisfaction felt by transfer students, their motivation, and their sense of academic achievement. In addition, I evaluated statements made in response to open-ended questions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of transferring.</p><p> Primary results include 1) students transferring from junior colleges experience a decline in satisfaction, motivation, and sense of academic achievement ; 2)students transferring from colleges of technology experience a decline in satisfaction and sense of academic achievement ; 3) students transferring from specialized training colleges experience a decline in motivation and sense of academic achievement ; 4)students transferring from one bachelor degree course to another experience enhancements of satisfaction and motivation, but not of their sense of academic achievement ; 5)transfer students feel the imperative to participate in pre-existing “native” student networks, and to start searching for jobs toward the end of their junior year.</p><p> I conjecture that this general tendency toward dissatisfaction occurs because there is no inbuilt assumption in the structure of the Japanese undergraduate system that many students will transfer, and I maintain that universities should intervene in the processes of transfer and help students to adapt smoothly to their new environment. Furthermore, the implications for further research include the following : 1)more analysis is needed from the perspective of students’ precollege demographics(socio-economic status, achievements in high school, etc.) 2)a large panel data set is needed in order to statistically analyze relationships between pre-college and post-college demographics in more detail, including the impact of transferring on competition in the job market.</p>
