Background
The concept of learning transfer is a very important one to individuals given the tasks associated to Human Resource (HR) Development. Its favourable occurrence is ideally what many HR practitioners of organizations are implicitly hoping for and expecting as this would mean that they are reaping the benefits of the investments that were made on training. Successful learning transfer is also a very good sign for management that the monies requested and spent on employee education and instruction are necessary and justified.
The issues related to learning and training transfer have be extensively researched and documented in more developed countries. Detterman & Sternberg (1993) have explained that a minute percentage of approximately

These factors may arise from the learner themselves, the organization factors, the training etc. Knowledge transfer, training transfer & learning transfer will all be used interchangeably in this study and can be defined as is the competence of the trainee or employee to transmit the knowledge and skills that they would have learnt from developmental and academic sessions favourably through to the workplace Mankin (2009).

Training Industry web page, as well as Green & McGill (2011) have highlighted a report presented by The American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) which estimated that companies across the United States will spend approximately $171.5 billion on the training of employees in 2010. The lack of success of employees to transfer knowledge through to the workplace especially within the public service clearly states that the country will experience many challenges where production is concerned. It has thus become paramount for the factors affecting knowledge transfer within the public sector to be explored. The outcome of this should give a sense of urgency to the issue and thus would prompt the key stakeholders to come up with resolutions that can be implemented to effect positive learning transfer which would then result in a positive recovery for employers from the financial investments made. The paper is however not limited to the aspects that limit transfer but also to identify the positive factors that stimulate transfer that can be further developed to create surroundings that are favourable and conducive to

Introduction: Clear, concise, and cohesive: all necessities of an argument. Matthew Sanders, a college professor at the University of Utah, writes in his online bio that he enjoys analyzing the ways of teaching and learning, which is exactly what Sanders does in his book. In Matthew L, Sanders’ book Becoming a Learner: Realizing the Opportunity of Education he argues that college is meant to develop a person into a greater being not to teach them job skills. To develop Sanders’ claim, learning is more than just retaining facts, he correctly aligns his rhetorical situation and uses elements of generative and persuasive arguments. These techniques can include new angles, appeals, storytelling, and many other strategies to influence its readers
In Tony Mirabelli’s writing, “Learning to Serve”, Mirabelli completes an ethnographic study of the service industry. Mirabelli writes on a topic he is quite familiar with, being a waiter. Mirabelli discusses the complexity of being a waiter, although most of these complexities are unknown to people outside of the discourse community. Mirabelli uses his ethnographic study to undermine criticism towards waiters. The main critique Mirabelli rebuts in his writing is that being a waiter does not require skill.
Providing employees with opportunities for on the job training, tuition reimbursement, and professional development will increase the human capital of individual employees. Human capital is gained through education, which is divided into two different categories: general and firm-specific education. The difference between these two types is not based on the type of education that an employee receives, but whether the skills that an employee gains are transferable to another firm. The theory of human capital suggests that a firm will only provide firm-specific education to its employees, as this type will be the most beneficial for the firm (Kessler & Lülfesmann, 2006). Contrary to the theory of human capital, would investment in general education

Differentiation, with respect to instruction, means tailoring it to meet individual needs of the students. Teachers can differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction. Teachers differentiate the four classroom elements based on student readiness, interest, or learning profile. (Tomlinson 2000). Differentiated instruction can be known as an organizing framework in teaching and learning which calls for a major restructuring in the classroom and syllabus, if done in the proper way, its benefits will transgress the costs.
