• Transfer of learning is the lifeblood education at large. Transfer of learning simple means when you learn something in one context, like in a classroom, and whether you are able to apply it to another context, say in real life. Author of Transfer of Learning, psychologist Robert Haskell says that research findings over the last 9 decades clearly show that individuals and academia have failed to achieve tranfer of learning on any significant level. Transfer of learning has been duped the “Holy Grail” of education. Although transfer of learning is universally recognied as fundamental to all learning, paradoxically the current evidence suggest that it seldom happens in instructional settings. Perhaps the lack of transfer of learning in psychotherapy education is a lack of directedness i.e., an emphasis in process and conditional knowledge.
