Capturing Transformative Moments in a Participatory Values-Based Event
Dike, Felix Okechukwu; Chukwuorji, JohnBosco Chika
Journal of Transformative Education, v20 n4 p281-303 Oct 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 present--moment by moment--the TLPs linked to outcomes identified among a group of teachers who participated in a values-based workshop. Participants were followed through interviews for over 72 weeks to trace the stability of their TL outcome. TL processes identified were compared to Mezirow's 10 processes. The article discusses ontological transformations gained and offers fresh perspective to identifying TLPs that can be linked to outcomes.
