Analysis of Factors in the Transfer Process PowerPoint Presentation

Introduction

In this presentation we outline transfer of learning processes as applied to several theories of learning; behaviorism, social cognitive, information processing, and constructivism. We will apply these theories specifically to examples in the electronic reserve reading “The Learning Machine” (Allen, Beaty 2006). Additionally, we will describe how these examples can be applied in a workplace setting.

Conclusion

This presentation has defined what each of the four learning theories are, and has applied them to different scenarios throughout “The Learning Machine” video. Additionally, applying these theories to a workplace environment to help enhance and stimulate learning, and produce positive behaviors in that environment.
