ABSTRACT This article aims to map the research trends on the processes of students’ transition to higher education in the European context. For this, a review of literature was carried out, aiming to understand how the processes of transition to higher education in Europe are being studied. The qualitative analysis of these references allowed us to understand how the research relates to the social and political situations in the contexts in which it occurs, and it was possible to identify relationships between research perspectives and the challenges of educational contexts over time. From this premise, there are also differences found between studies of the European context, in general, and those that are specific to the Portuguese context. While in the European context an educational perspective on the transition is highlighted, in the Portuguese context, a more psychological or individual perspective was found, with a greater focus on the student and his/her characteristics.

欧洲高等教育过渡的观点：以文学为重点的方法

摘要本文旨在概述欧洲背景下学生向高等教育过渡过程的研究趋势。为此，对文献进行了回顾，旨在了解如何研究欧洲向高等教育的过渡过程。对这些参考文献的定性分析使我们能够了解研究在发生的情境中如何与社会和政治状况相关联，并且有可能确定研究视角与教育情境挑战之间的关系。在此前提下，通常在欧洲语境研究与针对葡萄牙语境的研究之间也存在差异。在欧洲背景下，着重介绍了有关过渡的教育观点，
