"Transformative" has become a buzz word in higher education, but what does that actually mean? What transforms, and how? What counts as transformative learning? How do we know transformation is actually occurring? This course will introduce higher education professionals, especially those working in the intercultural/international/DEI fields, to decades of research surrounding Transformative Learning (TL) Theory. Self-directed modules are structured in accessible chunks of information and engage participants in reflection about their own experiences both as learners and mentors. Course objectives include being able to: 1) articulate the difference between (any or good) learning and transformative learning; 2) connect TL theory to other disciplines; 3) apply TL theory to concrete experiences; and 4) plan for supporting and assessing the transformative learning of others.
