General Versus Specific Intellectual Competencies

One major goal of education is to provide students with the knowledge and skills that will prepare them to be productive citizens and enable them to make informed decisions about work, family and societal issues. It is commonly believed that what we learn in school will be applied at appropriate times later in life. Unfortunately, research on transfer of learning raises doubts about the effectiveness of education to create transferable knowledge and skills.
