Resumen
El transfer es un proceso básico en el aprendizaje. Es utilizado comúnmente pues permite aplicar lo aprendido en un contexto a otro contexto diferente. De este modo, el aprendizaje es útil y productivo ya que puede ser aplicado en diferentes situaciones sin necesidad de comenzar de nuevo el proceso. Este artículo recoge los trabajos realizados sobre el transfer o lo largo de la historia y presenta los nuevos modelos e investigaciones. Se pregunta por qué no ocurre el transfer y destaca las dificultades en su correcto evaluación. Finalmente, planteo algunos principios de enseñanza que favorecerían su manifestación en el aula.
