An International Working Conference: Addressing the Transfer Dilemma

调查员将召开一次工作会议，讨论如何转移想法。本次会议的主要目标是解决最近对转让的批评提出的理论和方法问题，并制定一个研究议程，以指导进一步的实证工作。教育的一个持久目标是提供在最初学习的特定条件之外有用的学习经验。然而，由于迁移结构的方法论和理论问题，研究者在理解和支持学习泛化方面的进展有限。对转让的众多批评促使人们日益认识到，对转让的性质及其基本机制的性质几乎没有达成一致意见。这次会议的目的是就界定转让的理论和方法问题达成充分的协议，以便研究能够富有成效地进行。

The investigator would hold a working conference to discuss how ideas are transferred. The primary goal of this conference is to address the theoretical and methodological issues raised by recent critiques of transfer and to develop a research agenda to guide further empirical work. An enduring goal of education has been to provide learning experiences that are useful beyond the specific conditions of initial learning. However, researchers' progress in understanding and supporting the generalization of learning has been limited due to methodological and theoretical problems with the transfer construct. Numerous critiques of transfer have contributed to a growing acknowledgement that there is little agreement about the nature of transfer and the nature of its underlying mechanisms. The intent of this conference is to reach sufficient agreement on the theoretical and methodological issues in defining transfer so that research can proceed productively.
