Application and transfer

Knowledge that holds up in a new situation.

A new situation demands more than repeating a familiar answer. EDUGEN connects learning support with the application of subject knowledge.

What moves you forward

01

Use connections.

Recognise and interpret what you have learned in a different situation. This makes knowledge useful for new tasks.

02

Explain decisions.

Which solution fits the situation, and why? The reasoning reveals understanding.

03

Think ahead to practice.

From lectures to workplace training, application connects learning content with the demands of your subject.

Competence becomes visible in a real problem.

Now the question is whether a learned connection holds up in a new case.

1 The situation

A railway wheel with a brake disc and calliper on a section of track.

IllustrationExample

Twice as fast. Twice as far?

A vehicle travels at 40 instead of 20 km/h. Mass and braking force remain unchanged. How does the braking distance change?

2 The connection

Speed
20 km/h40 km/h · doubled40 km/h · doubled
Reaction time
1 s1 s · unchanged1 s · unchanged
Reaction distance
approx. 5.6 mapprox. 11.1 m · doubledapprox. 11.1 m · doubled
Braking distance
Starting value · 1 ×Four times the starting value · 4 ×Four times the starting value · 4 ×

Reaction distance and braking distance respond differently to increased speed.

Schematic comparison with unchanged mass and constant braking force. Markers show the starting value.

3 The aha moment

What does increased speed mean for the distance to a complete stop?

Doubling speed means four times the kinetic energy – and, with the same braking force, four times the braking distance.

EDUGEN addresses such misconceptions so learners can make informed decisions in a new case.
