- Abstract
Although life course transitions are not a new topic – see for instance van Gennep’s work on rites of passage (1909/1986) or various studies on changes in the life course, their social conditions, and societal consequences (Heinz, Weymann, & Huinink, 2009; Shanahan, Mortimer & Kirkpatrick Johnson, 2016) – educational research has explored the topic of transitions in a rather segmented fashion. Transitions have been investigated according to age (e.g., youth transitioning from school to work), according to pedagogical institutions (e.g., from family to day care) and pertaining to pedagogical subdisciplines (transitions in adult education). As a result, it was easy to lose sight of the connections between life course transitions and profound pedagogical questions of education and learning. With the aim to further develop the educational learning discourse (Göhlich & Zirfas, 2007; Göhlich, Wulf & Zirfas, 2014), this article discusses life course transitions as an impetus and framework for learning and transformation processes.
