Transformative Learning in the College Classroom
College certainly changes students—it alters what they know, how
much they know and what they are able to do with that knowledge.
Students also learn skills associated with their chosen
professions. But college is about much more than the acquisition
of discipline-related knowledge and skills. College can also
change how students think about themselves and how they see the
world. This “transformative learning” occurs when students begin
to question the assumptions, beliefs, values and perspectives
they normally take for granted. The presenters discuss the
nature of transformative learning and what kind of classroom
conditions, assignments, and activities promote and cultivate
transformative learning. The interview will also explore how
transformative learning affects the growth and development of
teachers themselves.
