Transformational Learning
What is it?
Transformational Learning Theory, developed by Jack Mezirow in the late 20th century, is a framework for understanding how adults learn by experiencing deep, meaningful changes in their perspectives and beliefs.
The theory emphasizes critical reflection, dialogue, and shifts in worldviews as essential components of adult learning.
Transformational Learning Theory is highly relevant for adult learners because it acknowledges the role of experience, emotions, and social interaction in facilitating profound and lasting changes.
It is often used in contexts that demand deep self-awareness, such as leadership training, counseling, and community activism.
