The Transfer of Learning by Sarah Leberman
Addresses a crucial issue for all involved in education and training: the transfer of learning to new and different contexts. This book focuses on adult learners in professional and vocational contexts. It aims to provide a book on the transfer of learning which draws on multi-disciplinary perspectives from education, psychology and management.
'The three authors have modelled the processes and the conclusions of their book by bringing experiences and theories together, synthesising and transforming themThey provide solid, well-referenced details for educators and researchers to reflect and build on. ' Dr Alan Barker, Education Consultant 'I find that I have been drawn into all aspects of the book - the theoretical developments, the case studies and the analysis and interpretation and have read right through. Talk about transfer of learning - as I read I kept saying to myself "Oh yes, I recognize that" or "Oh now I understand why...". The whole text is a wonderful exposition of the ideas and leaves the reader with an enthusiasm for exploring many of the numerous references provided. The authors suggest it is a "dip into" book and I agree and is therefore really useful for practitioners, but it also provides a coherent introduction to the ideas of "transfer of learning" and it has a strength in the analysis of the theories, real examples of exploration of the theories through the case studies and their subsequent analysis which would allow a practitioner/trainer to review his or her training activities in a comprehensive way.'
