How Students Perceive Transitions: Dispositions and Transfer in Internships

Neil Baird ; Bradley Dilger

Abstract

Report on a longitudinal study of transfer, investigating dispositions in two participants’ internships. Prior knowledge helped one student overcome negative attitudes toward school. With less experience and disruptive dispositions, the second student was less successful. Thick descriptions of their experiences are followed by implications for supporting transfer in internships and for future research.
