smoothing the ride an exploration of students experiences and perceptions of the transition from a level 3 qualification to a higher Education programme level 4 in a Further Education Institution
Research in Teacher Education, 2015Co-Authors: Jodi RoffeybarentsenAbstract:The transition from a Level 3 programme to a higher Education (HE) programme (Level 4) can be a bumpy one, which, when accompanied by significant anxieties and worries for many students, may affect retention rates. This small-scale case study explores the experiences and perceptions of students on their first year of HE study in a Further Education Institution. Reflecting on their transition, the purpose was to identify strategies to address specific anxieties. Data collected from 106 questionnaires and one interview identified that students feel illprepared for the demands of HE. To overcome this it is suggested that more information be made available before or at the beginning of a programme, by providing opportunities to sit in on lessons, speak to students and access reading lists. Further, the development of academic skills was considered essential for those students who enter with more vocational qualifications.

higher and Further Education Institution policies on student and staff involvement in commercial sex
Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2009Co-Authors: Linda Cusick, Ron Roberts, Susan PatonAbstract:This paper concerns higher and Further Education Institutions' policies as they relate to the interactions of their staff and students with the sex industry. In Scotland and England, consenting adults may legally buy and sell sex and commercial sexual entertainment, such as erotic dance and phone sex, provided that they do not do so in a public place. The indoor commercial sex sector is legally staffed and patronised by a wide variety of individuals, yet newspapers publish articles for salacious appeal exposing their involvement. A Freedom of Information enquiry found that although no Institution had a policy prohibiting staff or student involvement in commercial sex, unwritten assumptions could be used to penalise legal but stigmatised sexual behaviour. The paper considers how Institutions might respond to allegations of disreputable behaviour.
