ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the meta-factors that facilitate transfer. To assist with the process, the researchers each needed to reflect on and extract what they, as practitioners, had learnt from course participants about facilitating transfer. The Diploma in Rehabilitation Studies aimed to develop participants both personally and professionally, rather than focusing exclusively on professional development as is often the case in workplace training. The importance of personal and professional development is exemplified with the Case Manager Research, support by the Cook Island's teachers and preparation for future transfer by the Business Studies students. All of the participants were mature students, engaged in tertiary education course designed to promote their personal and professional development. One of the key determinants, support, was recognised as particularly important in the transfer literature; in this context it was considered to be vital if the teachers were to implement and sustain changes in the classroom.
