Infact, he ultimately liked them here, there, and anywhere. A goal of literacy instruction is not only to teach students mastery of knowledge for immediate use in the classroom (here); but to, also, teach students to transfer the acquired learning to other subject areas and similar situations (there) . Then, further, impress upon students to use the learned information outside of class in their everyday lives and in the future (anywhere) . In a classic study, Desse (1958) stated “Thereis no more important topic in the whole psychology of learning than transfer of learning” (p. 213) . He further emphasized,“Practically all educational and training programs are built upon the fundamental premise that human beings have this ability to transfer what they have learned from one situation to another”(p. 213) . In a more recent study, Illeris (2010) stated the problem of transfer of learning has been an ongoing issue for more than a century. He stated the problem is “that what has been learned in one context often can be difficult to recall and apply in a different context”(p. 137) .  \nPublic education in the United States is sequenced in such a manner that a skill learned atone level is then transferred to a more complex skill at yet a higher level. In addition, the individual concepts or grade-level-expectations based on state Standards are designed this way. Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (1999) stated,“Educators hope that students will transfer learning from one problem to another within a course, from one year in school to another, between school and home, and from school to the workplace”(p. 39) .  \nGraff (2010) emphasized most discussions of learning must eventually focus on transfer of learning. He continued with,“…our goal as teachers is not only to improve students‟ performance in the immediate moment of instruction but also to help them develop skills that they can take to future classes and experiences outside of school”(p. 377) . Baldwin and Ford (1988) defined transfer of learning “as the extent to which the knowledge, skills, and abilities acquired…can be applied, generalized, and maintained over time”(p. 63) . Transfer of learning is further defined as, “prior learning affecting new learning or performance” (Cree & Macaulay, 2000, pp. 2-3) . Perkins and Salomon (1992) stated transfer of learning “occurs when learning in one context or with one set of materials impacts on performance in another context or with other related materials” (p. 2) . They also emphasized, “metacognitive reflection on one‟s thinking processes appears to promote transfer of skills”(Perkins & Salomon, 1992, p. 5) . It is imperative, then, that critical thinking and problem-solving skills be taught in a manner whereby they become automatic for students and they are able to use those skills in varying situations beginning in the early grades. Throughout this article are comments from graduate students, who are also classroom teachers, enrolled in a master‟s level online literacy education course during a discussion about transfer of learning. The comments allow us to see the practical side of the transfer of  \nlearning research and how it affects students‟ literacy development. LaDonna, graduate student and second grade teacher, explained transfer of learning by stating,“Teachers have to make sure students understand and tuck the learning into their schema before moving on.” In this way, transfer of learning occurs here, there, and anywhere.  \nHere – In the Classroom  \nThe classroom where active learning occurs is a highly desirable place for students to practice new learning. Kolb (1984) stated learning is “formed and reformed through experience”(p. 28) .
