Learning Transfer Principles in a Comprehensive Integration Model

In this article, the authors propose a comprehensive integration model (CIM) based on learning transfer principles that promote integration by systematically and multidimensionally linking coursework with field education. This model improves the integration of classroom and field instruction by specifying how content in each course and in the field is shared, by coordinating the learning process in both settings, and by defining the contributions of faculty, students, field instructors, and field liaisons.
