Transfer of Learning
TRANSFER OF LEARNING

• It implies a carrying over and
  application of the knowledge, skills,
  habits, ideals, attitudes or values
  acquired in one situation to another.
THEORIES OF
  TRANSFER OF LEARNING
• The Theory of Mental Disciplines
     Based on the old faculty psychology
which maintains that the various faculties of
the mind can be developed through training
and can become capable of effective
performance in all areas in which they are
involved. Thus the training of the faculty of
memory for names, meaningful material
and, in fact, for anything which calls for
memory.
• THE THEORY OF IDENTICAL ELEMENTS
     This theory was formulated by Thorndike
 which maintains that the amount of transfer
depends upon the identical elements or
elements that are common in both situations.
The identical elements, such as content,
method, aim, or attitude present in both
situations facilitate learning.
• Example: A study of Latin helps in
  interpreting many English words. Since
  many English words are derived from
  Latin, then the transfer is due to Identity of
  content.
• THE THEORY OF GENERALIZATION
      The Theory formulated by Charles H.
Judd, which maintains that transfer is a form
of generalization which can be encouraged
by training. It means that experiences
obtained in one situation are applicable to
other situations.
•       It puts emphasis upon the value to
    understand, organize, and generalize
    specific experiences. There is a need for
    the learner to interpret relationships and to
    be able to recognize and apply to other
    situations the previously acquired facts or
    principles.
• THE THEORY OF CONFIGURATION
      This theory is based on the Gestalt
theory of learning. It holds that the transfer
of training from one situation to another is
the result of the application of certain
principles of configuration. It means that the
transfer of acquired patterns of response to
a new situation depends upon the insight of
the learner into the total situation to enable
him to use those patterns.
Motivation in Learning
• Motivation is a process in which the
  individual’s attention and interest are
  aroused and directed toward definite
  goals. An individual’s attention and interest
  can be aroused to the extent that his
  needs, whether basic or acquired, are
  involved.
• It is the job of the teacher to create an
  atmosphere which provides desirable
  outlets for needs in the direction of
  worthwhile incentives – an atmosphere in
  which interests will as a consequence
  flourish.
TYPES OF MOTIVATION
        IN LEARNING
• 1. Intrinsic Motivation
     This type of motivation is an internal
stimulus to learning. It is based on motives
that every individual strives to satisfy.
Motives are intrinsic, or within the person.
They have their roots in needs and drives.
Motive is a though, feeling, or condition that
causes one to act. The most common forms
of intrinsic motivation are the desire for
knowledge, the desire to explore, and the
desire to construct.
2. Extrinsic Motivation
      This type of motivation is an external
stimulus to learning activity. Praise and
blame, rivalry, rewards and punishments are
some of the more common types of extrinsic
motivation. It is based on incentives.
Incentive is the means employed to evoke
attitude conducive to learning.
      In Extrinsic Motivation the pupil is
encouraged to do good school work by such
drives     as    marks,     honors,  prizes,
scholarships, and privileges.
