Abstract

To improve postschool outcomes for students with disabilities, research in secondary transition has increasingly aimed to identify in-school experiences that contribute to positive outcomes after high school. Although research on postschool success for this population has recently identified seven new predictors, operational definitions and essential program characteristics remain missing. Therefore, the purpose of this Delphi study was to operationally define the seven newest predictors of postschool success in secondary transition and identify their essential program characteristics. Experts in the field of secondary transition reached consensus on an operational definition and a set of essential program characteristics for each of the seven newest predictors of postschool success. These definitions and essential program characteristics provide additional information needed to develop, implement, and evaluate effective secondary transition programs. Moreover, these results continue to move research to practice in meaningful and actionable ways. Suggestions for further research and implications are discussed.

中学毕业后成功过渡的预测因素的操作化：德尔菲研究

为了改善残疾学生的学后成果，中学过渡教育研究越来越多地着眼于确定有助于高中毕业后取得积极成果的校内经历。尽管针对这一群体校后成功的研究最近发现了七个新的预测因素，但仍缺少可操作的定义和基本的项目特征。因此，本德尔菲研究的目的是对中学升学成功的七个最新预测指标进行操作性定义，并确定其基本计划特征。中学升学领域的专家们就七个最新的成功升学预测指标的操作定义和基本项目特征达成了共识。这些定义和基本项目特征为制定、实施和评估有效的中学过渡项目提供了更多必要的信息。此外，这些结果继续以有意义和可操作的方式将研究推向实践。本文还讨论了进一步研究的建议和意义。
