Erasmus+ project PAGOSTE

On June 22-23, 2021, the project team of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna) conducted a staff training in an online format for the teaching staff of higher, professional pre-tertiary and vocational education institution in Ukraine. The topic of the event was "Transfer of learning", which was relevant for all categories of teaching staff. Ivanna Atamanchuk from the National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine opened the event with the welcome word.

Over 160 participants from all regions of Ukraine attended the event. The learning objectives of the training were:

• to introduce psychological basics of transfer of learning,
• to provide examples of different types of exercise within the transfer of learning,
• to discuss possible solutions for improving transfer of learning.

During two days participants worked on such issues as:

• types of long term memory,
• reasons of forgetting information from the theoretical and empirical points of view,
• theories of transfer of learning,
• role of transfer of learning in further learning and training and professional activity,
• didactic measures for improving transfer of learning.

The event gave an opportunity for the participants to refresh the existing knowledge from pedagogical psychology and get insights into the new research findings in this area from abroad.

The programme of the event (en/ua) is available here.
