What Is Content Migration?

The general transfer theory (summary) is a theory about learning transfer obtained by Judd (1908) through the famous "underwater shooting" experiment.

content:

Judd experimentally studied the principles and generalized transfers and concluded that the common components existing between the two learning activities are only necessary prerequisites for the transfer, and the key to generating the transfer is that the learner summarizes their The common principle between them is the classification of the experience gained by the subject ^[2]

Evaluation:

The difference between generalized migration theory and the same element theory is that Thorndike's theory focuses on those factors that are common to early and later learning activities, while Judd thinks that what is gained in early learning A, Therefore, it is possible to migrate to the later learning B because the general principles are obtained when learning A. This general principle can be partially or completely applied to learning A and learning B.

This theory tends to reduce the importance of the same elements between two situations to a minimum, that is, common elements cannot automatically lead to migration, and generalization of experience is important. Judd's theory of generalized migration emphasizes the role of generalized experience or principles in migration, and emphasizes the understanding of principles, which is more advanced than the same elements. But generalized experience is only one of the conditions that affects the success of migration, not all of it ^[3] .

Enlightenment:

This theory shows that the understanding of concepts has an important role in the transfer of learning. Therefore, when designing teaching methods, teachers should not only teach knowledge to students, but also inspire students to learn and summarize the content of related knowledge Deepen understanding and application. In addition, the training of students' thinking ability is also very important.
