The document provides an overview of regional human rights systems in Europe, Africa, and the Americas and compares them to the emerging system in Southeast Asia. Some key similarities across regional systems include recognizing human rights as an objective in the founding treaty, conditioning membership on human rights criteria, effective implementation monitoring, and independent supervisory bodies like a commission or court to promote and protect rights. The ASEAN system differs in that its charter does not reference human rights criteria for membership and its 2012 Declaration emphasizes national laws over universalizing norms. Critics argue this makes rights too restrictive and vulnerable to limitations in practice.Idea mapping of group 3

Transfer Of Learningajones1
油
Transfer of learning refers to applying knowledge learned in one context to new situations. Several factors affect transfer, including how well the knowledge is understood versus memorized, how abstract or contextualized it is, and the degree of similarity between situations. Transfer is improved when learners abstract principles from the material and practice applying it in various contexts. Instruction should provide meaningful, similar contexts for practice and encourage learners to reflect on connections to other domains in order to promote flexible knowledge that transfers well.Transfer of Learning
Transfer of LearningAbby Rondilla
油
Transfer of learning refers to how knowledge and skills learned in one context can be applied in another context. Early research by Thorndike and Woodworth explored how learning transfers between similar tasks. Transfer of learning depends on factors like the similarity between the original learning task and new transfer task, the level of understanding achieved during initial learning, the context of learning, opportunities for practice, and motivation. Educators can promote transfer by teaching in meaningful contexts, providing varied practice opportunities over time, and encouraging positive attitudes.Article XIII- Social Justice* and Human Rights
