The seven types of knowledge we might try to transfer are:

Transfer of learning

Near Transfer

Far Transfer

Positive Transfer

Negative Transfer

General Transfer

Specific Transfer

What does the term Transfer of Learning mean?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 19:56:39 UTC

Transfer of Learning occurs, "when learning in one context or with one set of materials impacts on performance in another context or with another related material." It is the application of skills, rules, and concepts learned in one situation to a different situation.

Why is Transfer of Learning important? What impact does it have?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 19:59:55 UTC

Transfer of Learning is key concept because of its importance in the education system because most formal education aspires to transfer.

Similarity between Old and New Contexts

Context increases dissimilar and removed:

in class following instruction

for homework

one a test three weeks later

in a different course

outside of school in a real life situation

What are ways to promote Transfer of Learning?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 20:32:12 UTC

Ways to promote Transfer of Learning include:

Help Students achieve initial learning

Practice Transfer

Provide hints

Expose students to concepts/ procedures in multiple contexts

What are two factors that influence transfer?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 20:36:12 UTC

Depth of initial learning
Similarity between learning context and transfer context

What are differences between Near and Far Transfer?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 20:52:23 UTC

Near Transfer occurs between closely similar contexts.

Far Transfer occurs between contexts that share little similarities.

What are the differences between High vs. Low Road Transfer?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 21:00:53 UTC

High Road Transfer involves deliberate abstraction and search for connections across transfer tasks.

Low Road Transfer involves stimulus conditions that trigger well practiced, automated responses acquired in prior learning context.

What are the differences between Positive vs. Negative Transfer?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 21:09:05 UTC

In Positive Transfer, previous learning complements the new context.

In Negative Transfer, previous learning interferes with new learning.

What are the differences between Nonspecific vs. Specific Transfer?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 21:15:24 UTC

Specific Transfer occurs between contexts which are similar in the stimulus properties.

Nonspecific Transfer occurs in situations where there is no obvious similarity between the two learning events.

What is the Common Elements Model?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 21:23:27 UTC

Transfer is determined by the common elements shared by two learning contexts.

What is the General Principle Model?

rsharp0024_1_1 — 2025-02-07 21:25:03 UTC

Transfer depends on understanding the abstract general principle.
