Resumen: En este trabajo se introduce el concepto de transferencia en el aprendizaje, se clasifican en sus diferentes tipos y se discute su importancia en la resolución de problemas de ciencias y matemáticas. Además se discute el papel de los procesos de transferencia y cómo se pueden mejorar en la enseñanza de las ciencias. A partir de todo ello, se recomiendan algunas medidas instruccionales que pueden ser aplicadas en el aula de ciencias.Palabras clave: transferencia, resolución de problemas, enseñanza y aprendizaje de las ciencias.Abstract: In this paper we introduced the concept of transfer in learning tasks, we classify the different types of transfer and we show its importance in problem-solving in science and mathematics. Moreover, it is brought out the role of transfer processes and how they can be improved in science teaching and in science problem-solving. Finally, a series of instructional measures that can be applied in the science classroom are recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
