Abstract
Independent Living Skills Training
Highlights
The authors emphasize the importance of designing, implementing, and evaluating transfer-of-learning interventions
One approach, developed and utilized at the Northeast Ohio Regional Training Center (NEORTC), builds on Lewin’s force field theory and advocates for assessment and intervention within a worker’s transfer field. It is described as the transfer of training and adult learning (TOTAL) approach (Curry et al, 1994; Curry & Caplan, 1996, Curry, 1997)
Given its emphasis on child and youth development, it should not be surprising that the child and youth care field has emphasized a developmental approach to worker development
Summary
The authors emphasize the importance of designing, implementing, and evaluating transfer-of-learning interventions. This article will discuss traditional, developmental, and ecological implications for transfer of learning of independent living skills (ILS) training. Help workers to recognize factors that can help or hinder effective transfer of learning for them and the youth (e.g., a coworker or peer that reinforces or negates the importance of ILS training).
