Understanding Transfer as Personal Change: Concerns, Intentions, and Resistance
Young, Jeani C.
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n137 p71-82 Spr 2013
Adult education is about change. Change in knowledge and understanding. Change in attitudes and beliefs. Change in skills and behaviors. The transfer that adult educators and learners often want to achieve is that change. In situations where transfer equals change, models of change can be useful to describe, support, and predict transfer. This chapter will investigate two change models (the concerns-based adoption model and the theory of planned behavior) and how they can be helpful to adult educators. The chapter approaches transfer from the perspective of supporting learners implementing personal change based on their learning experiences. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
