Transfer of learning refers to applying knowledge learned in one context to new contexts. Positive transfer occurs when learning in one context improves performance in another, while negative transfer happens when prior learning hurts new performance. Near transfer is between similar contexts, while far transfer bridges more dissimilar situations. Theories of transfer include identical elements (common aspects facilitate learning), generalization (experiences apply broadly), and configuration (perceived similarities enable transfer). Factors like ability, nature, attitudes, teaching style, and understanding impact how well transfer succeeds. Motivation directs attention toward goals and depends on individual characteristics and experiences.

2. Transfer of Learning…
- is the ability to apply knowledge learned in one
context to new contexts.
Transfer of learning occurs when the learner:
• recognizes common features among
concepts, skills, or principles;
• links the information in memory; and sees the value of
utilizing what was learned in one situation in another.

3. TRANSFER OF LEARNINGPositive vs. Negative
- when learning in one context has a negative
impact on performance in another context
Positive transfer:
- when learning in one context improves performance
in some other context
Negative transfer:

4. TRANSFER OF LEARNINGNear vs. Far
- transfer between very similar contexts
Near transfer:
transfer between contexts that seem
alien to one another
Far transfer:

Theories of Transfer of Learning
1.Theory of mental discipline
2.Theory of identical elements
3.Theory of generalization
4.Theory of configuration

6. Theory of Mental
Discipline
- tells that education is a matter of training in
the mind or disciplining the mind.
- also known as the Faculty Theory
Today, this theory of transfer is unpopular with
most psychologists and professional educators.

7. Theory of Identical Elements
- was formulated by Thorndike maintains that the
amount of transfer depends upon the identical
elements that are common in both situation.
Identical elements such as:
• method
• content
• aim
• attitude present in both situations facilitate learning

8. TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Theory of Generalization
- was formulated by Charles H. Judd
- it means that experiences obtained in one situation
are applicable to other situation.
- It puts emphasis upon the value to
understand, organize, and generalize specific
experiences.

9. TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Theory of Configuration
- Is based on Gestalt theory of learning
- Transfer implies that what is learned in one situation can
be shifted directly to another situation only when similarity
(in content, method, or attitude) of the two situations is
perceived by the learner.

10. TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Factors that would affect such transfer such
transfer in school:
1. Mental ability of the learner
2. Nature of the learner
3. Attitudes and efforts of the learner
4. Manner of teaching

11. TRANSFER OF LEARNING
“The more understanding,
the better the transfer.”

12. TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Motivation in Learning

13. TRANSFER OF LEARNING
What is motivation?
Motivation is a process in which the
individual’s attention and interest are aroused
and directed toward definite goals.

14. - ”To give attention is to engage in mental
activity”.
- It is directing one’s thinking toward a specific
stimulus in one’s environment.
- The kind of stimulus to which an individual gives
attention depends on many factors such as:
• age • needs
• experiences• training
• intelligence • attitudes
