Factors Affecting Transfer
100
Cognitive process that involves going well beyond something specifically learned.
What is Higher level cognitive process
100
Learning Strategies depend on the task at hand.
What is In some situations teachers may assign tasks for which truly effective learning strategies are impossible or counterproductive.
100
information is stored more quickly and is retrieved more easily.
What is meaningful learning promotes better transfer than rote learning.
200
Knowledge and beliefs about one's own cognitive processes, as well as conscious attempts to engage in behaviors and thought processes that increase learning and memory
What is Metacognition
200
Students are likely to acquire and use new, more effective, strategies only if the realize that their prior strategies are ineffective.
What is students will only come to this conclusion if they monitor their learning regularly and are aware of past learning problems
200
Instructional time is clearly an important variable affecting transfer.
What is The more thoroughly something is learned the more likely it is to be transferred to a new situation.
300
One or more cognitive processes used intentionally for a particular learning task.
What is Learning strategy
300
Students belief about the nature and learning influence their strategy choices.
What is student's believes about the nature of knowledge and learning are collectively known as epistemalogical beliefs.
300
Perceived similarity increases the chances that a new situation will provide retrieval cues that point learners in the right direction.
What is Both positive and negative transfer are more common when a new situation is similar to a previous one.
400
Diagram of concepts and their interrelationships; used to enhance the learning and memory of a topic.
What is Concept Map
400
Different motives and goals call for different strategies.
What is motivational factors clearly influence the extent to which students use effective strategies to learn and study
400
On average general principles, and rules, and theoretical explanations are more widely applicable than specific facts and info.
What is Principles and theories are easily transferred than discrete facts.
500
View of transfer suggesting that the study of rigorous subjects enhances one's ability to learn other, unrelated things.
What is formal discipline
500
Ongoing instruction and guidance about effective strategies enhance learning and achievement.
What is it is important to show students better ways to store new information.
500
Students are more likely to use what they learn if, during the course of instruction, they connect it with many contexts in which it is likely to be useful.
What is what is numerous and varied examples and practice opportunities increase the probability of transfer.
