Transfer of learning describes how skills learned in one context can apply to another.
Examples illustrate how learning in one area, like mathematics, aids in physics, or driving, applies to different vehicles.
Definitions by Sorenson, Crow and Crow, and Peterson offer insights into transfer as a process of applying knowledge across different contexts.
Transfer of learning is categorized into Positive, Negative, and Zero transfer, indicating beneficial, hindering, or neutral influences on new learning.
Positive transfer occurs when prior learning enhances new skill acquisition, such as tennis aiding badminton skills.
Negative transfer arises when prior knowledge negatively affects new learning, like mother tongue affecting English pronunciation.
Zero transfer indicates prior learning has no impact on new learning, such as history not aiding economics.
Factors influencing learning transfer include learner's intelligence, study habits, and similarity of stimuli.
To facilitate transfer, focus on similarities, provide varied experiences, and relate learning to real-life situations.
