The aim of this article is to discuss the theoretical and practical problems in effecting transfer between school and work, and to present a new conceptualisation of transfer called developmental transfer that shifts the emphasis from the individual transfer of knowledge to the collaborative efforts of organisations to create new knowledge and practices. We give an overview and evaluate the current notions of transfer and present the need and characteristics of the developmental transfer. In a case study, we also describe the concrete tools for promoting the developmental transfer in professional higher education. A new way of enhancing collaboration between the school and the workplace is based on successful boundary crossing and the formation of a shared object between activity systems.

[6][7][8] In these studies, the complex behaviour of making choices is often reduced to measurable personal, social or structural elements, with only a little emphasis on the interaction between these different elements and their qualitative features. In addition, the food choice process has often been comprehended as a logical event, consisting of rational reasoning, including an assumption that an increase in nutritional knowledge changes one's behaviour in a healthier direction. 9 Therefore, many of these studies present the outcome of food choices as the quantity or quality of food and the nutrients ingested per person, but they rarely consider the everyday processes whereby people are influenced to use a certain food item.Yet, recent studies on everyday cognition have demonstrated that the process of decision-making is actually quite a complex one, and the contextual influences in the decision-making are of vital importance. [10][11][12] The purpose of this study is to analyse the everyday thinking of ordinary homemakers when making their food choices, more specifically in choosing between different milk brands, for their family use in an everyday household context. We seek answers to the following questions: (a) what kind of reasons the homemakers give for their choices; (b) what kind of decision-making processes their choices are based on; and (c) how the different contextual factors influence their choices. The social and context-dependent nature of food choices is made more apparent if we understand better the homemakers' decision-making processes. This can be used for the development of nutrition and home economics education.

The qualitative data are based on homemakers' (n = 18) context-specific accounts of their choice of milk brand, i.e. milk varieties with different fat contents (noted in a 4-day qualitative food diary and a semi-structured interview based on the diary). These accounts were considered an approximation of real food choices in households. The necessity of making compromises between contradictory expectations makes food choices, as well as milk brand choices, problematic. The homemakers' accounts involve various levels affecting household activities. At the individual level, the most important motive of choice is the taste and practical use of a product. At the level of households, the traditions stemming from one's childhood and the social aspect of acknowledging other family members' taste preferences are important. The influence at the level of society and culture leads towards healthier choices, e.g. by providing examples of new, healthier food habits. Here, the special nature of everyday knowledge is emphasized as context depe...

Transferissa on kysymys siitä, miten hyvin yksilö pystyy hyödyntämään yhdessä tehtävässä tai tilanteessa oppimaansa tietoa tai osaamista uudessa tilanteessa. Tässä artikkelissa käsitettä on kehitelty pidemmälle, tarjoamaan välineitä muuttuvien tietojen ongelmaan ja muuttuvien tilanteiden kohtaamiseen.
