Hugging and Bridging
Captions available
The idea
Perkins and Salomon describe two ways to teach for transfer: hugging makes learning resemble the future situation, and bridging helps students abstract and connect ideas.
In practice
A mock job interview hugs; asking where else a principle applies bridges.
Where people slip
Authentic tasks, problem-based learning and cognitive apprenticeship all build transfer into instruction.
