Measuring the Importance of Precursor Steps to Transformative Learning

Abstract: Transformative learning has been important in the development of adult education since Jack Mezirow proposed it more than 35 years ago as a theoretical description of the steps learners undergo in changing their worldviews. However, despite much qualitative research, little quantitative study has been made of the incidence of transformative learning or the 10 steps predicted by Mezirow to precede it. This study of 256 undergraduate business school students reports the incidence of transformative learning and e… Show more

“…In summary, incidences of transformative learning varied across time and samples, confirming the range found in the limited reporting of quantitative studies of transformative learning [21,26,27]. The precursor steps to transformative learning proposed by Mezirow [14] relate to the reporting of transformative learning.…”

“…Some researchers [19,20] have emphasized their "disproof " of transformative learning because they have shown it not to require the first step of disorienting dilemma. Mezirow has stated that all steps are not required to experience transformative learning [14,16] although Brock [21] showed quantitative evidence that the more of these steps remembered, the more likely transformative learning occurs.…”

“…Balmer ve Richards, 2012;Brock, 2010;Glisczinski, 2007;Hamza, 2010;King, 2004King, , 2011. Genç yetişkinlerin sıklıkla dönüşüm aşamalarının başlarında yer aldıkları (Brock, 2010;Glisczinski, 2007) görülürken orta ve ileri yaş yetişkinlerin ise daha ileri dönüşüm aşamalarını da yaşadıkları (King, 2004) belirtilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra araştırmalar daha ileri yaşlarda yer alan yetişkinlerin genç yetişkinlere göre daha fazla dönüşüm yaşadığını göstermektedir (Brock, 2010) …”

“…Araştırma kapsamında orta yaş yetişkin ile çalışıldığı düşünüldüğünde alanyazına paralel olarak (Brock, 2010;Glisczinski, 2007;King, 2004) katılımcının Mezirow'un dönüşüm adımlarından dokuzuncu aşamaya kadar ulaştığı görülmektedir. Diğer bir ifade ile katılımcının dönüşümün birçok aşamasını yaşaması alanyazında belirtilen orta ve ileri yaş gruplarında dönüşümün daha net gözlenebilmesi (Brock, 2010) durumu ile paralelik göstermektedir.…”
