Transferring Learning to the Workplace. Seventeen Case Studies from the Real World of Training. In Action Series.
Broad, Mary L., Ed.
Organized in three parts, this book contains an introductory chapter and 17 case studies selected to show transfer applications in a wide range of organizational settings. In part 1, two chapters review the rationale, context, and research relating to transfer: "Transfer Concepts and Research Overview" (Mary Broad); and "Success Factors in Technology Training" (Harvey D. Feldstein, Terry Boothman). The cases in part 2 describe transfer applications that focus on development of skills and knowledge in individual learners: "Adult Basic Education: Riding Hi-Tech Rails to the Future" (Edward D. Gordon, Ronald R. Morgan, Judith A. Ponticell); "Growing Our Own: On-the-Job Training in a Local-Government Health Department" (Heidi Hoffman); "Transfer Strategies Supporting Interpersonal Skills Training for Supervisors: An Evaluation Study" (Kristi L. Andes, Lilanthi P. Ravishankar, Darlene F. Russ-Eft); "An Experimental Partnership: Addressing Diverse Needs in a Continuing Education Program" (Meg Karakekes); and "Building Transfer of Training into the Course Design Process" (Linda Smith Rutledge). The cases in part 3 present advanced systemic applications of transfer concepts: "Accelerating Cultural Change for an Engineering Process" (Kenneth W. Finley, Jr.); "Transfer Strategies for Communities: Substance Abuse Prevention" (Steven Seitz); "Building Saturn's Organization-wide Transfer Support Model" (Sharon Wall, Eleanor White); "Cross-Training to Support Organizational Restructuring" (Sandra L. Hastings, Ann Nichols, Alice Carter); "Transfer of Learning Strategies: Clinical Ethics for Nurses" (Cheryl Hall Harris, Patricia Wahlstedt); "Process Coaching: Honda of America's Model to Enhance the Transfer of Knowledge" (Pamela Jones-Morton); "Promoting Transfer through a Network of Problem Solvers" (Gary Schouborg); "Integrated Transfer Strategies for the Professional Selling Skills System" (Edward Del Gaizo); "Critical Transfer Factors for Organizational Change" (Edward W. Jones); "Developing Electronic Performance Support Systems" (Carole Joy Berkson, Wayne Robertson, Autumn Wagner); and "Integrating Training into Operations" (Mary Lippitt, Kay F. Quam). (KC)
