Generalization of Learning Mathematics Through Multimedia Environments

学校教学的一个中心目标是促进已获得知识的泛化，使其超越最初的学习环境，进入新的环境。最近开发的课程将数学嵌入到有意义的背景中，这给跨背景学习的转移带来了新的相关性。然而，近年来，转移研究一直举步维艰，主要是因为发现转移很难在实验室中进行工程设计。此外，文献中的两个争论表明迁移的建构存在理论问题。遗憾的是，许多研究者已经放弃了这一领域的研究，对迁移的理解远远不够，不足以为设计和组织学习环境提供亟需的指导。

Recent efforts to develop curricula in which mathematics is embedded in meaningful contexts has given the transfer of leaning across contexts new relevancy. However, transfer research has floundered in recent years due primarily to findings that transfer is difficult to engineer in the laboratory. Furthermore two controversies in the literature indicate theoretical problems with the construct of transfer. Unfortunately, many researchers have abandoned inquiry in this area, well short of reaching and understanding of transfer sufficient to provide much-needed guidance in designing and organizing learning environments.
