The book addresses a crucial issue for all involved in education
and training: the transfer of learning to new and different
contexts. Educators, employers and learners face the problem of
ensuring that what is learnt in the classroom is able to be adapted
and used in the workplace. It focuses on adult learners in
professional and vocational contexts. The authors provide an
accessible book on the transfer of learning which draws on
multi-disciplinary perspectives from education, psychology and
management. The Transfer of Learning will be useful both for
postgraduate students and for practitioners wanting to deepen their
understanding of transfer and for those interested in practical
applications. It combines theory and practice from international
research and the authors' own case studies of transfer involving
learners engaged in professional development and study towards
qualifications. Theories of adult learning, change and lifelong
learning are discussed in relation to the transfer of learning. The
purpose of this book is to emphasise to tertiary educators and
trainers the importance of transfer and in doing so highlight the
participants' voices as central foci in coming to an understanding
of the process. By doing this it balances the literature which has
to date emphasized transfer from a trainer's and/or organization's
perspective. There has been little if any substantive material on
tertiary transfer issues and yet demands are increasing for
tertiary education providers to be more accountable and more
focused on developing students' ability to use their learning in
everyday work situations. The book is unique in that it adopts a
phenomenological perspective and underscores the significance of
the participants' voices in understanding issues.
