Abstract
The Theory and Practice of Transformative Learning: A Critical Review
Highlights
The heart of the monograph is a review of theoretical and empirical literature, including numerous unpublished doctoral dissertations, that explores seven unresolved issues: individual change versus social action, decontextualized view of learning, universal model of adult learning, adult development— shift or progression, rationality, other ways of knowing, and the model of perspective transformation
The paper begins with an overview of transformative learning theory, including Mezirow’s notion of rational transformation, Boyd’s concept of individuation, and Freire’s view of social transformation
The review identifies gaps and areas of controversy in Mezirow’s work as well as research findings that attempt to elaborate on and broaden the theory
