Abstract

Education & Educational Research Social Sciences
Transfer of knowledge, skills, and experience is critical in an increasingly competitive knowledge-based global economy. Research indicates major issues relating to transfer of learning, including (a) the complex nature of transfer, (b) the multiple variables affecting transfer, and (c) the limited knowledge of instructional methodologies for facilitating transfer across disciplines and learning environments. An integrative literature review was conducted to analyze the conceptualizations of transfer of learning across disciplines, as well as to examine the traditional and contemporary models along with taxonomies of transfer. This article proposes a new Integrative Transfer of Learning (ITL) model that aggregates four broad transfer dimensions, specifically (a) task, (b) personal, (c) context, and (d) pedagogical dimensions. This ITL model provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for researchers, instructors, and instructional designers interested in transfer of learning across learning environments, including online, blended, and onsite, for preparing a diverse higher education student population for a complex and advancing workforce.
