Additional Information

• Transfer of Learning
  • The concept of transfer of learning refers to the ability to apply knowledge or skills learned in one context to new contexts.
  • Understanding the types of transfer can help in designing educational programs that enhance the ability to apply learning effectively.
• Educational Implications
