El presente trabajo analiza la presencia del transfer como estrategia de resolución de problemas en los estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y su relación con el curso y el rendimiento académico. Para ello, se realiza un análisis de varianza, obteniendo resultados superiores para el curso de 4º de la ESO y los grupos de mejor rendimiento. Asimismo, pretende ser un punto de reflexión sobre el valor del transfer en el entorno educativo, y la relevancia del docente como modelo en el aula para estimular la búsqueda de relaciones entre distintas áreas y disciplinas.
