GOMEZ, Alfonso  and  GUZMAN, Yasmín. TRANSFER OF LEARNING IN MATHEMATICS: THE CASE OF LINEAR, CUADRATIC AND EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp.543-551. ISSN 0123-4226.

Transfer of learning is for some authors the ultimate goal of this process, since individuals are being educated for life and the knowledge received must serve in their performance. Following this direction, this paper presents the results of a research conducted on the transfer of learning in three items of teaching mathematics in the ninth level of the basic teaching curriculum, based on definitions and proposed problems in the textbooks, applying content analysis of texts, taking into account the classical concept of transfer of Perkins and Solomon, the transfer of learning developed by Santos and the didactic transposition of contents, a phenomenon inherent in the statement of the issues presented in textbooks. Overall results showed that the transfer in textbooks is lowroad, relegating the purpose of a useful learning in other instances.
