Teaching for Transfer

The transfer of learning is generally accepted as the aim of teaching and remains a central issue for practioners and theorists. This volume examines the reasons for past failures and offers a reconceptualization of the notion of knowledge tranfer, its problems, limitations and possibilities.

"...demonstrates an interesting attempt to bring together psychological studies and pedagogy in a way which represents some of the breadth of the questions and debates in the field in the mid-1990s. A volume which should provide a useful reference and stimulus for debate in both undergraduate and postgraduate studies, both sides of the Atlantic."—British Journal of Educational Psychology
