Transformative Learning for Progressive Change

Transformative learning is learning that enables irreversible, profound, emancipatory change for the better – in our values, world views, beliefs, perspectives, understandings, and frameworks (or ‘meaning schemes’) for imagining, thinking, designing, planning and acting; and in our day-to-day living and relating (to self, others, and the built and natural world).  It is the ‘highest’ level of learning: above “refining or elaborating our meaning schemes, learning new meaning schemes, [and] transforming meaning schemes” (Jack Mezirow 1994, Understanding transformation theory, Adult Education Quarterly, 44(4) : 222-232; p. 224).
