- Expectativas acadêmicas de estudantes nos primeiros anos do Ensino SuperiorPublication . Soares, Adriana Benevides; Romera Leme, Vanessa Barbosa; Gomes, Gil; Penha, Adriana Pecanha; Maia, Fatima Almeida; Lima, Claudio Almeida; Valadas, Sandra T.; Almeida, Leandro S.; Araujo, Alexandra M.This study analyzed students' expectations in the transition to Higher Education. Participants were 205 students of the first and second year, enrolled in public and private Higher Education institutions. Students answered an open questionnaire composed of five questions about personal expectations, interpersonal relationships, expectations about the undergraduate program and career development, the institution where they were enrolled, and a social-demographic questionnaire. Content analysis was performed to analyze data. Students described their own expectations regarding the job market, and personal and occupational benefits from studying in Higher Education. These results support previous studies that have suggested that first-year students present high expectations about higher education. We discuss the implications of the results in future researches and intervention with students, especially the ones with difficulties in academic adaptation.
