Cyril Kirwan's book addresses this critical issue at a number of levels. Firstly it explores what learning transfer actually is (it's about application of learning back at work as well as maintenance of that learning over time). Secondly it describes the main factors that affect transfer in terms of trainee characteristics training design factors and work environment characteristics. It also examines how those factors exert their effect which ones are more important how they interact with one another and in doing so constructs a practical learning transfer model for practitioners. The book also describes in some detail what the various factors working for or against learning transfer look like in practice. Finally using case studies it points the way towards what can be done before during and after training to improve the rate of transfer.
