“…Notwithstanding the fact that numerous factors influencing training transfer have been established by previous research (Deckers et al, 2021), the literature that focuses on the direct effects of trainees' characteristics on the transfer of training use age, gender, education and background as control variables (Chiaburu et al, 2010; Heuer & Kolvereid, 2014; Paulsen & Kauffeld, 2017). It is also inconsistent and mainly focusing on Western and Asian contexts.…”

While entrepreneurship training is essential for the growth and sustainability of enterprises, the literature identifies several challenges which contribute to insufficient transfer (application) of trained materials to enterprises. Yet, the extant literature on training transfer is inconclusive, with minimal focus on trainee personal characteristics and scarce visualization of transfer as a dimensional concept. The study addressed this gap by examining the influence of selected trainee demographics on dimensions of near, far and creative transfer of entrepreneurship training. Based on a survey of 418 trainees in Tanzanian community‐based microfinance institutions, findings reveal that, each dimension of training transfer tested was influenced by a different set of demographic determinants. It was evident that elders were less enthusiastic about near and far application of entrepreneurship training. Males perceived slightly more training transfer in far and creative domains while those with higher education levels were more likely to apply training in all transfer dimensions. Those with exposure to entrepreneurship were more convinced of the value of applying the trained skills to near and creative domains. Consequently, the study advances Andragogy by showing the contextual nature of applicability of its principles, as well as the dependence of training transfer on contextual factors surrounding trainees.

“…Entre los antecedentes que influyen en la transferencia de la formación, asociados a las características de los y las participantes, en la literatura se encuentran estudios sobre la variable "Locus de control" (Baldwin y Ford, 1988;Deckers et al, 2021;Pamies-Berenguer et al, 2022). En nuestro caso, esta característica contempla las limitaciones para la transferencia impuestas por la carga de trabajo y la presión laboral.…”

Teacher training programs are considered a solid and relevant pedagogical instrument. Their purpose is to act effectively on student learning and to successfully develop the teaching practice as the acquired knowledge is transferred, resulting in an application of the learning to the job position maintained over time. The main aim of this study is to investigate whether the non-university education, in which the participants of the training programs carry out their teaching work, determines the teachers’ perception of the factors that influence the transfer of training. This study uses a non-experimental descriptive design in which a survey-type instrument is used to collect cross-sectional data, following a non-probabilistic convenience sampling according to the criteria of accessibility and availability of the subjects. 4,572 teachers have participated and eight factors have been taken into account: design and development of training, self-efficacy, promotion of training by school governing bodies, feedback from students and families, environmental resources, resistance to change in the workplace, monitoring of the training institution and external locus of control. Data analysis identified the Design and development of training and Self-efficacy as strong facilitators of transfer in all types of teaching considered; the factor of Promotion of training from the center has been identified as a strong facilitator in Infant and Primary Education, in Secondary Education and Vocational Training as well as in Adult Education. This factor has been identified as a weak facilitator of transfer for language teaching and art education. Los programas de formación docente son posibilidades pedagógicas sólidas y relevantes cuya finalidad es actuar con eficacia sobre el aprendizaje del alumnado y desarrollar con éxito la práctica docente a medida que se transfieren los conocimientos adquiridos, produciendo una aplicación de los aprendizajes al puesto de trabajo mantenida en el tiempo. El objetivo es investigar si el tipo de enseñanza no universitaria en la que se desarrolla la labor docente condiciona la percepción del profesorado sobre los factores que influyen en la transferencia de la formación permanente. El diseño de la investigación es no experimental de carácter descriptivo tipo encuesta, siguiendo un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia por accesibilidad y disponibilidad de los sujetos. Han participado 4572 docentes y se han tenido presentes ocho factores: diseño y desarrollo de la formación, autoeficacia, fomento de la formación por los órganos del centro, feedback de los estudiantes y familias, recursos del entorno, resistencia al cambio en el centro docente, seguimiento de la institución formadora y locus de control externo. Los datos identifican a los factores Diseño y desarrollo de la formación y Autoeficacia como facilitadores fuertes de la transferencia en todos los tipos de enseñanza considerados; el factor Fomento de la formación desde el centro como facilitador fuerte en las etapas de Infantil y Primaria, en las de Secundaria y Formación Profesional y en la de Educación de Adultos, resultando el mismo ser un facilitador débil de la transferencia para la Enseñanzas de Idiomas y Artísticas.

Training employees in new competencies is crucial for ensuring organizational sustainability and success. Consequently, organizations allocate significant resources to training initiatives. As training constitutes a substantial investment, it becomes imperative to identify and categorize factors that enhance the transferability of training. This necessity becomes particularly pronounced in the context of online training, which is being increasingly adopted by organizations for various reasons, including cost efficiency and flexibility. While the adoption of online training is on the rise, research on factors that enhance the effectiveness of such training remains limited. This study aims to address this gap by introducing a taxonomy of factors that influence the transfer of online training. These factors are categorized into four broad themes: computer (digital) literacy and attitudes, learner characteristics, training design and planning, and the learning environment along with organizational factors. Additionally, the study maps these factors to the intended outcomes of training (knowledge, skills, and attitude) and the participants engaged in the training sessions, providing a comprehensive overview of ongoing research and identifying areas for future investigation. Drawing insights from an evaluation of existing literature, the research not only points toward potential research directions but also offers practical implications for designing more effective online training sessions.
