Transition Programs and Best Practices for Public High School Freshmen in the United States: A Meta-Synthesis Study
2019
Overview
Over the last few decades, the United States has been fighting the high school dropout epidemic that reaches every corner of our nation. Research shows that ninth grade is the pivotal year in school that determines whether you finish high school, dropout, or lack enough credits to graduate on-time. The transition from middle school to high school presents challenges for many incoming freshmen, which is why schools are implementing freshman transition programs that will address the needs of incoming ninth graders, prepare them for high school and beyond. This meta-synthesis study explored freshman transition programs and best practices for ensuring successful completion for incoming freshmen students in U.S. public high schools. The study was designed to create a catalog for educators to use as a reference of successful transition programs and best practices that other schools have already implemented and were found to elicit positive effects. Fifty articles were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion words, then a list was created. The researcher felt two different formats highlighting various information might be useful for educators. Findings included positive and negative implementation outcomes; however, the positive do outweigh the negative. Furthermore, it was discovered that numerous characteristics can be added to a transition program to increase the effectiveness. The theoretical framework of Self-Determination Theory proved to support the idea of educators developing strong, positive relationships with students in order to improve academics, attendance, and even decrease discipline issues. All of these efforts not only increase a freshman’s first year of high school but puts them on the right path for graduation and their future.
