Abstract

Experimental and classroom-based research has provided evidence to support the idea that expansively framing learning environments to extend across time, places, and participants and to position students as authors of their own ideas, promotes transfer. In this paper, we go beyond comparing the effects of expansive and bounded framing on transfer, and begin teasing apart the different aspects of these types of framings to investigate how these individual components may impact transfer. This investigation uses four combinations of expansive or bounded framings of settings and/or roles, and suggests that the expansive framing of settings may be more important to promoting transfer than the expansive framing of role.
