In an appeal to establish transformative learning's (TL) boundaries, Kegan (2000) implored researchers to identify "what from transforms?"

Tur, Gemma; Havemann, Leo; Marsh, J. Dawn; Keefer, Jeffrey M.; Nascimbeni, Fabio – Research in Learning Technology, 2020
In this article, we propose a cross-pollination of two prominent lines of educational thought: open education (OE) and threshold concepts (TCs). Open education has gained an increased profile through the growing popularity of open educational resources (OER) and massive online open courses (MOOCs). Educators who create or make use of such…
