Transfer of learning refers to applying knowledge learned in one context to new contexts. There are two types of transfer - positive transfer occurs when learning improves performance in another context, while negative transfer occurs when prior learning hinders new learning. Transfer can be near, between similar contexts, or far, between more remote contexts. Factors like similarity between contexts, meaningfulness, length of instruction, variety of experiences, context of experiences, focus on principles over tasks, and metacognition influence how effectively knowledge transfers.
2. Transfer of Learning
is the ability to apply the knowledge
learned in one context to the next
contexts.
as a result, the educational goals are met until transfer
occurs. T
3. Types of Transfer
Positive Transfer occurs when
learning in one context improves
performance in some other
context.
Negative Transfer occurs when
learning on one context impacts
negatively on performance in
another.
4. Types of Transfer
Near Transfer refers to transfer
between very similar contexts.
This is also referred to as specific
transfer.
Far Transfer refers to transfer
between context that, on
appearance, seem remote and
alien to one another. Also called
as general transfer.
