Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Teaching and learning are interdependent activities which interact with the multidimensionality of students\u2019 lives. The topic of this paper is to understand how teaching and learning interact with the wide variety of experiences of integration undergone in higher education, particularly by first year students.<\/p>\n

Higher education students face a number of challenges in contemporaneous post-industrial semi-peripheral societies. In Portugal, the uncertainties of the labour market and the budget cuts that reduced investment in science, research and education caused difficulties to both students and teachers. In addition, the continuous reforms that have been made in public education (mainly driven by the need to prove success, even if only statistically) have made the transition to higher education even more difficult.<\/p>\n

This paper is based on an on-going study case taking place in\u00a0Escola Superior de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o do Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico do Porto<\/em>\u00a0(Oporto Higher Education School) with undergraduate students. The evidence of students\u2019 scarce preparation motivates educators to comprehend their multiple needs. The main difficulties are how to use academic knowledge and master scientific language, both orally and written, but also the central task of their activity: to study.<\/p>\n

In order to learn, one must be able to learn how to learn. Hence, the need for reflective thought and teaching for thinking. The study intends precisely to develop strategies for the enhancing of these capacities.<\/p>\n

Promoting reflective thought amongst students implies reflective and strategic teaching grounded on an educative process centred on the student rather than the educator. Powered by reflective thought students are able to regulate their own learning process, by developing learning strategies with educators\u2019 assistance (Lop\u00e9z, 2011; Smith et al, 2008).<\/p>\n

In this paper, we intend to discuss some intermediate results regarding students\u2019 demographical and socioeconomical characterization; students\u2019 perceptions of higher education, of the Oporto Higher Education School in particular, and their integration processes in this institution; students\u2019 current learning strategies and plans for future improvement.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong>\u00a0Learning; reflective thinking; integration<\/p>\n
