Create opportunities for transfer of knowledge to other situations

One of the most difficult problems for teachers is finding ways to help students make connections between a concept and its applications in other situations. Often, children will learn and understand an idea, but be unable to apply it or even to realize that it could be applied in other situations other than the specific case in which it was learned. A lesson that helps children transfer knowledge will provide varied examples and connections to the outside world. More information on learning transfer can be found on the Vocabulary page.
