OTP- The perceived importance of trainee attitude for transfer of training: what it says about training design?

• In Event: LED/OTP- Diverse Perspectives on Learner Engagement and Transfer of Training

Short Description

Transfer of training has long been a concern in bringing about targeted knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA). The ambiguous role an individual’s attitude plays in the transfer process requires a holistic view of trainee attitude. The findings from the multiple-case study revealed high transfer rates of newly acquired KSA to teaching. Trainees’ affective, cognitive, and behavioral attitudes were perceived to be closely related to their learning and transfer. Recommendations of training design practice were provided.
