Question

Which of the following students would be identified as having difficulty with generalization of learning?

a) A student who excels in applying knowledge to new situations.
b) A student who struggles to transfer learned skills to different contexts.
c) A student with a strong ability to memorize information.
d) A student who consistently performs well in controlled environments.

Answer 1

A student who struggles to transfer learned skills to different contexts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student who would be identified as having difficulty with generalization of learning is option b) a student who struggles to transfer learned skills to different contexts. Generalization of learning refers to the ability to apply knowledge and skills to new situations or contexts.

For example, if a student is able to solve math problems in the classroom but struggles to apply those same problem-solving skills to real-life situations, they may have difficulty with generalization of learning.

Students who excel in applying knowledge to new situations (option a), have a strong ability to memorize information (option c), or consistently perform well in controlled environments (option d) would not be identified as having difficulty with generalization of learning.
