Answer 1

Answer:

D. Transfer of Learning

Transfer of learning is the process of applying knowledge, skills, and information learned in one context to another. It's a central goal of education and an integral part of the learning process. 

Here are some things to know about transfer of learning: 

• Types

  Transfer can be positive, zero, or negative, depending on whether it enhances or undermines performance in a related context. 

• Near and far transfer

  Transfer can occur between closely related contexts (near transfer) or between more different contexts (far transfer). 

• Challenges

  Transfer can be difficult, especially when students don't understand the knowledge they've acquired or aren't aware of when and where to apply it. 

• Research

  Researchers study transfer to identify when and how it occurs and to develop strategies to improve it.
