Transition from primary to lower secondary school : From a theoretical concept to the possibilities of facilitation

Abstract

The transition from Czech primary school to lower secondary school has been studied much less than other transitions within the educational system. In many cases, the transition is not accompanied with the transfer - the pupil stays within one building and one organisation.

Despite that, some pupils face serious difficulties after the transition. We look at the possible curricular factors that contribute to the post-transition problems.
