Teaching For Transformation: Enabling The Exploration Of Disorienting Dilemma In The Classroom, Lisa Deangelis
Teaching For Transformation: Enabling The Exploration Of Disorienting Dilemma In The Classroom, Lisa Deangelis
Graduate Doctoral Dissertations
While learning involves the acquisition of new skills and the development of existing repertoires, some educators harbor even more profound learning goals. They seek to enable learning that is transformative. Jack Mezirow, who is credited with establishing transformative learning theory, defines transformative learning as “an enhanced level of awareness of the context of one's beliefs and feelings, a critique of their assumptions and particularly premises, an assessment of alternative perspectives, a decision to negate an old perspective in favor of a new one or to make a synthesis of old and new, an ability to take action based upon the …

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière
La pratique infirmière s’inscrit dans un monde professionnel où les domaines médical, technologique, social, culturel et politique se croisent et exige de celles qui l’exercent le développement de compétences dans un vaste champ d’expertise. La formation en sciences infirmières doit être conçue de façon à préparer adéquatement les diplômées à pratiquer dans ce monde professionnel, notamment en adoptant une orientation pédagogique claire et cohérente, ainsi qu’une finalité commune aux personnes impliquées dans cette formation. De plus, la complexité du monde professionnel oblige les étudiants à parfaire leur raisonnement critique, à développer une action clinique informée et à faire preuve d’une …

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière
Jack Mezirow’s transformative learning theory provides a framework in which to explore learning experiences that facilitate the Registered Practical Nurses (RPN) who returns to school to upgrade their credentials to that of a Registered Nurse (RN). It is through self-exploration and critically reflection upon previous nursing knowledge that RPNs can begin to enhance their knowledge and transform their practice. Mezirow claims there are precursor steps that adult learners contemplate as they engage in the process of perspective transformation which is initiated by disorientating dilemmas. RPNs who return to school to upgrade their credentials to that of an RN need to …

Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)
In this paper we argue that education – particularly higher education (HE) - has the potential to offer socially, economically and culturally transformative learning opportunities–cornerstones of social citizenship. Yet, for prisoners, the opportunity to engage in HE as active citizens is often limited. Using a Freirean model of democratic, pedagogic participatory dialogue, we designed a distinctive prison-University partnership in which prison-based learners and undergraduate students studied together. The parallel small-scale ethnographic study, reported here, explored how stereotypes and ‘Othering’ - which compromise social citizenship - could be challenged through dialogue and debate. Evidence from this study revealed a positive change …

Although sustainability has become a key focus in higher education, developing a better understanding of how sustainability competencies can be cultivated in college and university courses and programs is still needed. This article argues that learners who are to become capable of affecting holistic sustainable change, transforming values and culture, healing the earth and human communities, and designing creative solutions, must have the opportunity to engage in learning processes that reflect these learning outcomes. We outline key elements of sustainability pedagogy and suggest best pedagogical practices for designing engaging and holistic sustainability learning, and highlight these practices through a sustainability …
The Relationship Of Transformative Learning Experiences On Multicultural Competency And Multicultural Self-Efficacy In Counselors In Training, Kristina Leigh Wilkerson
The Relationship Of Transformative Learning Experiences On Multicultural Competency And Multicultural Self-Efficacy In Counselors In Training, Kristina Leigh Wilkerson
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Research on multicultural competency development has been a topic of interest in the counseling field over the past 20 years. However, studies in counselor education examining the relationship between learning experiences, multicultural competency, and self-efficacy have been scarce. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to fill this research gap by investigating the relationships among transformative learning experiences, multicultural competency, and multicultural self-efficacy of counselors-in-training. Another purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between participants’ demographic characteristics and their multicultural competency and multicultural self-efficacy. Participants included 107 master’s-level students in various counseling programs throughout the U.S. who had …
