Hoggan, Chad; Higgins, Katherine – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2023
This chapter describes transformative learning as a catch-all term to describe many disparate phenomena related to learning processes involved in human transformation. It argues for the distinction between individual theories used to understand these phenomena and the metatheoretical work of analyzing across theories. This article then reviews…

Anna Baatz – Environmental Education Research, 2024
Despite arguments that learning processes are drivers of sustainability transitions, the dynamics of how learning processes take place in everyday life and influence practices remain unclear. An analytical framework for exploring these dynamics is developed in this article. I argue to build the framework on basis of theoretical concepts that shed…

Chunking versus Transitional Probabilities: Differentiating between Theories of Statistical Learning
Emerson, Samantha N.; Conway, Christopher M. – Cognitive Science, 2023
There are two main approaches to how statistical patterns are extracted from sequences: The transitional probability approach proposes that statistical learning occurs through the computation of probabilities between items in a sequence. The chunking approach, including models such as PARSER and TRACX, proposes that units are extracted as chunks.…

Flavia P. D'Souza; Padmanabha C. H. – Journal on English Language Teaching, 2024
Language is crucial for adapting to society, and learning different languages enhances human efficiency. Learning a second language involves acquiring any language in addition to one's native language. Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has two meanings, generally, it describes the process of learning a second language, and more specifically, it…

Green, Larry – Journal of Transformative Education, 2023
A central concern that TL theory approaches but does not fully address is the process whereby an individual generates a more adequate meaning perspective after shedding an outmoded one. This article complements TL theory's account with a phenomenological description of the dangers and opportunities encountered on that quest. It employs the concept…

Ruiz-Martín, Héctor; Bybee, Rodger W. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Over 34 years since its conception, research in educational settings has found evidence for the effectiveness of the 5E Instructional Model. Indeed, several studies have reported evidence of a better conceptual understanding of scientific ideas and models, positive effects on general achievement in science, and positive attitudes toward science.…

Fahrenbach, Florian; Kragulj, Florian – Learning Organization, 2022
Purpose: Considering personality as changeable through a bottom-up process of altering states, habits and traits, constitutes a shift in the predominant paradigm within personality psychology. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider Bateson's theory of learning and organizational triple-loop learning in light of this recent empirical evidence.…

Lauren Margulieux; James Prather; Masoumeh Rahimi – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Failure can be an effective tool for learning, but it comes with negative consequences. Educators and learners should practice strategies that leverage the benefits of failure while managing its negative consequences on learners' motivation and persistence. Towards that goal, this paper examines the biological effects of failure on learning to (1)…

Jessica Taggart; Lindsay B. Wheeler; Kenn Dela Cruz – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2024
This chapter describes the development, implementation, and assessment of an intensive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Scholars program grounded in self-determination theory. These findings provide one of the first integrations of theory into studying the impact of SoTL and can support educational developers with SoTL initiatives at…

Strømskag, Heidi; Chevallard, Yves – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
In agreement with the main tenets of the anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD), this study uncovers dependencies between what students can learn, the established curriculum and the current state of mathematicians' mathematics ('scholarly mathematics'). One main result is that the mathematics taught, too often taken for granted by curriculum…

Lee, Victor R. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
"Learning engineering" has gained popularity as a term connected to the work of learning sciences. However, the nature of that connection is not entirely clear. For some, learning engineering represents distinct, industry-inspired practices enabled by data abundance and digital platformization of learning technologies. That view is…

Julien Kloeg; Morten Timmermann Korsgaard – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2025
In this paper, we argue that the attempts to centre education in one of its three constitutive aspects that have long determined the discourse on the purpose and aims of education run the risk of one-sidedness. Theories of student-centred education have been in vogue for many centuries now, having been born out of a polemic against teacher-centred…

Scheiner, Thorsten; Pinto, Marcia M. F. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2022
Earlier approaches to sense-making in mathematics have looked at the ways students comprehend a mathematical concept. Recent research suggests that some students make sense not only of mathematical objects that have a being, but also of objects that have yet to become. In such cases, learning mathematics is not just an act of comprehending a given…

Dike, Felix Okechukwu; Chukwuorji, JohnBosco Chika – Journal of Transformative Education, 2022
The theory of transformative learning (TL) has been criticized secondhand for its lack of clarity in capturing and explaining in detail the processes undergone by learners who are going through TL experiences and their link to learning outcomes. Using a case study design, and carefully synthesized TL processes (TLPs) from Mezirow's TL theory, we…

Moström Åberg, Marie – Journal of Transformative Education, 2023
The need of being able to foster transformative learning (TL) has increased due to the demands for continuous development in today's work life. Previous research has proposed six core elements to foster TL; however, in these a process perspective is missing. By using an adaptive approach and inspired by action research, drawing on teachers'…
