Transfer of learning refers to the influence of previously acquired skills, knowledge, and attitudes on new learning, characterized by the resemblance between situations. It includes types such as positive, negative, zero, lateral, vertical, sequential, and bilateral transfer. Classroom implications emphasize the importance of previous knowledge, interrelationships of subjects, and developing problem-solving abilities.

2. Transfer of Learning

3. What is transfer of learning?
• Acquisition of
skills, habits,
knowledge and
attitudes,
influence the
acquisition of new
learning

4. Transfer of Learning
•Resemblance
and similarity
between
situations

5. Transfer of Learning
•It is nothing
but a
generalization.

6. Transfer of Learning
• Presence of identical elements,
method or goals in two different
situations.

7. Transfer of Learning
• Ability of finding out the identity of
relationships and using it to new
situations.

8. Types of Transfer of Learning
Positive Negative Zero

9. Forms of Transfer of Learning
Lateral
Vertical
Sequential
Bilateral

10. Lateral Transfer of Learning
• Transfer of knowledge or skill
in a situation of similar level
5 – 2 = _____

11. Vertical Transfer of Learning
•Transfer of learnt skill to
acquire a higher order skill
2×0= 0
255 × 132 × 72 ×0=?

12. Sequential Transfer of
Learning
• Transfer of learning, while learning in a
sequence,
• e.g.: learning division after learning
addition, subtraction and multiplication
• This transfer takes place generally at
same level.

13. Bilateral Transfer of Learning
•Self-transfer of learnt
knowledge from right part to
left

14. Classroom Implications
More focus on content which is also useful
in other subjects
Understanding importance of previous
knowledge
Explaining benefits of acquiring skills

15. Classroom Implications
Stress on significant interrelationships of
subjects
Trying transfer in and out of the class
Developing the problem solving ability
