Transfer of Learning

The document discusses the concept of transfer of learning. It defines transfer of learning as applying knowledge, skills, or habits from one context to another. There are three types of transfer: positive, negative, and neutral. Positive transfer occurs when learning facilitates new learning, while negative transfer hinders it. Theories of transfer include identical elements theory and generalization of experience. Educational implications are that teachers should identify associations to maximize positive transfer and minimize negative transfer of learning.

TRANSFER OF LEARNING
According to Crow and Crow (1973), The
carry-over habits of thinking, feeling or
working, of knowledge or of skills, from one
learning area to another usually is referred to
as the transfer of training.
According to Sorenson (1948), explains
transfer of learning as: Transfer refers to the
transfer of knowledge, training and habits
acquired in one situation to another situation.
TYPES OF
TRANSFER OF
LEARNING
POSITIVE TRANSFER
When learning in one situation facilitates learning in
another situation, it is known as a positive transfer.
For example:
Skills in playing the violin facilitate learning to play the
piano.
Knowledge of mathematics facilitates to learn physics
in a better way.
Driving a scooter facilitates driving a motorbike.
NEGATIVE TRANSFER
When learning of one task makes the
learning of another task harder- it is known
as a negative transfer.
For example:
speaking Telugu hindering the learning of
Malayalam.
Left-hand drive vehicles hindering the
learning of right-hand drive.
NEUTRAL TRANSFER
 hen learning of one activity neither
W
facilitates nor hinders the learning of
another task, it is a case of neutral transfer.
It is also called as zero transfer.
For example:
knowledge of history in no way affects
learning of driving a car or a scooter.

IMPLICATIONS OF
TRANSFER OF
LEARNING
EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF
TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Learning in one situation is capable of
exercising positive or negative influence
over the learning in another situation.
Efforts should be made to seek positive
transfer value of the learned thing by
avoiding the negative ones.
EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF
TRANSFER OF LEARNING
For seeking maximum positive transfer, the teachers
while teaching and learners while learning, should try to
draw proper lessons from the viewpoints of the
theories of transfer like below:
1. Identification of association, similarities and
dissimilarities among the learning situations.
2. Building generalizations and making their use in further
learning.
EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF
TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Developing proper understanding and insight for
using them in further learning and problem-
solving.
1. Developing a proper apperceptive mass in the form
of knowledge and experience for its further use.
2. Developing proper ideals and imbibing them to
perform things in future.
CONCLUSION:
Transfer is the process of
applying one’s knowledge and
skills to new situations, a central
goal of education. Even though
all learning involves some degree
of transfer, research shows that
applying knowledge effectively
and flexibly is difficult.
