What is knowledge transfer?

The transfer of knowledge, also known as the transfer of learning, refers to the application of acquired information, skills or experience to new situations or tasks during the learning process.

Knowledge expansion

This transfer can be active, such as applying a new problem-solving method to problems in other disciplines, or passive, such as naturally applying some previous knowledge or skills in new learning activities. The transmission of knowledge helps us to understand and master new knowledge more deeply, and at the same time improves our problem-solving ability and creativity.

In psychology, knowledge transfer includes positive transfer (one learning promotes another learning) and negative transfer (one learning interferes with or inhibits another learning). In addition, according to the process of migration, migration can be divided into high path migration and low path migration. The transfer of high path involves the understanding and application of abstract concepts, while the transfer of low path depends more on the matching of memory and new information features.

The transfer of knowledge is an important link, which not only plays an important role in academic research, but also can be seen everywhere in real life. For example, the skills learned from work can be applied to family life, and the cultural knowledge learned from travel can be applied to daily life. Therefore, the development of good knowledge transfer ability is very important for the improvement of personal learning and quality of life.

The transfer of knowledge helps to solve problems.

Knowledge transfer is not only a way to learn and apply knowledge, but also an effective way to solve problems. When we face a new problem, if we only rely on the existing domain knowledge to think and solve it, we are likely to fall into a bottleneck and find no feasible solution. If we can combine knowledge from other fields with current problems, we can open new ideas and find more comprehensive and innovative solutions.

The transfer of knowledge promotes the integration of disciplines.

The transmission of knowledge is the foundation and motivation of interdisciplinary integration. There are rich and diverse knowledge resources among different disciplines, which can produce new knowledge and new research fields after migration and cross-application. For example, in the cross field of medicine and engineering, by combining biomedical knowledge with engineering technology, more accurate and efficient medical equipment and treatment methods can be developed, which greatly promotes the progress of medical science.
