20.500.12556/RUL-178417 Practices of becoming what and how do first-generation students learn when transitioning to university? Prakse postajanja: kaj in kako se študenti prve generacije učijo ob prehodu na univerzo? This paper explores the learning experiences of first-generation students in higher education. While existing studies highlight the risks of social exclusion, they tend to overlook what and how first-generation students learn in their transitions to university. By utilising a theoretical framework that integrates biographical and practice-theoretical perspectives on learning, this study addresses a gap in research on how these students navigate their transition to university by learning. The study draws on 24 biographical case studies developed over three years (2019–2022) across universities in Austria and Germany. The findings demonstrate that biographical learning is embedded in concrete practices of becoming: practices of peer support, engagement, and pedagogical accompaniment. These practices of becoming a student simultaneously transform and reproduce social inequalities. The paper concludes by emphasising the importance of understanding first-generation students’ learning experiences in relation to social inequality, higher education, and societal change. adult education first-generation students higher education biography social inequality university študenti prve generacije visokošolsko izobraževanje biografija družbena neenakost univerza true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-01-27 13:16:25 2026-01-27 13:16:26 2026-01-28 04:29:13 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 135-153 [št.] 2 Letn. 31 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 374.7 1318-5160 256121091 Petrik.pdf Petrik.pdf 1 14CF2D3CC6F4E8DF4D7A20F3878C5B94 823531ea91aec47586174b291ac79e59f2882072c7eacc28c7f065d3c95d3d4a 496d9ff7-fb7a-11f0-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=226266 https://journals.uni-lj.si/AndragoskaSpoznanja/issue/view/1563/1257 1 fc326d0a-fb79-11f0-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=226261 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
