Transfer of learning: paradoxes for learners

Abstract: There are three kinds of transfer: from prior knowledge to learning, from learning to new learning, and from learning to application. The central thesis of this chapter is that all three should start from the dilemmas or paradoxes learners may have when trying to reach transfer. Six of these are described. They are "nding relevant prior knowledge; the paradox of tacit knowledge; using relevant prior knowledge while learning; recognizing relevant situations and conditions; the paradox of near transfer and far t… Show more

“…Cette boucle permet d'ouvrir la voie à de nouveaux apprentissages : généralisation des concepts développés, maîtrise des concepts relativement à la résolution de problèmes, application à la vie quotidienne (Hattie et Timperley, 2007 ;Simons, 1999). L'utilisation répétée de la démarche de compréhension permet à l'apprenant d'occuper provisoirement une série d'états de compréhension de complexité croissante (Biggs, 2003).…”
