Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Pedagogy - Nursery Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, grade: 1,0, University of Education Weingarten, language: English, abstract: The term paper takes a closer look at the transition process from kindergarten to primary school, focusing on the transition design of the educational professionals. The work is mainly composed of a literature review and also refers to three interviews that were conducted with educational professionals from three different institutions. The aim is to get to know the ideas and implementations of transition management and to compare them with the literature. The question that the paper wants to answer is therefore: How do educational professionals design the transition from kindergarten to primary school?

First, the term "transition" will be defined in more detail and a general insight into the transition process from kindergarten to primary school will be given. This is followed by a short method section, which describes the interview procedure and introduces the interviewees. The main part, and thus the focus of the paper, deals with the design of the transition process and includes both current literature and the results of the interviews with the three educational professionals. Finally, the concluding section revisits the most important findings and draws a conclusion.

At the age of seven, and in some cases also at the age of six, most children face their first major change in life. The start of school is getting closer and closer and the last errands for backpacks, pencil cases and exercise books are done together with the parents. It is understandable that such a big event is the highlight of the preschool child's still so young life. This is precisely why the child's current personal environment, his or her family and the preschool institution, has an important role to play in the transition from kindergarten to primary school.
