Kaiser and Foley (2013) discuss effective ways to incorporate "effective processes and methods of instruction" for learning transfer into the classroom (p. 9). Providing schema, scaffolding, opportunities for purposeful reflection, repetition, and concept mapping, are key methods to ensure learning transfer for your adult students.  Below are definitions of each component. Click on any concept for further details and examples of best practices for integrating the strategies into your classroom.

                                            Creating a "learning environment, instructional plan, supporting resources, and instructional                                                        delivery are structured in a manner that best supports learning" (Kaiser & Foley, 2013, p. 9).

                                              The idea that the learner organizes information in "specific patterns or order" (p. 11). 

                                               A tool used to guide reflection and maintain learner engagement with the subject. Foley and                                                       Kaiser (2013) state that purposeful reflection starts "laying roots for meaningful transfer by                                                          creating relevance" (p. 12).
 
                                             Revisiting information at different points in time (p. 12). 

                                                Concept maps allow learners to "manipulate the individual pieces" of a thought process into a                                                     "flow process," often represented in pictorial form (p. 13).
