Preparing Profound Learners

Formation as an organizing framework for the processes of lifelong learning

“…Profound learning has been conceptualized in several articles (Carr‐Chellman & Kroth, 2017; Kroth & Carr‐Chellman, 2018, 2020a). A Delphi study targeting adult learning scholars was used “to develop an initial conceptual and theoretical foundation for profundity specifically related to profound learning, the profound learner, and profound living” (Kroth & Carr‐Chellman, 2020a, p. 16).…”

“…What are the structural qualities that facilitate the application and development of meta–learning skills? Fourth is to elaborate the relationships between the formation model and other learning theories such as bildung, the comprehensive theory of human learning offered by Jarvis (2006), and Illeris’ (2003) Three Dimensions of Learning .…”

Restorying COVID‐19: Faculty and graduate students teaching and learning in crisis

“…(2021) offer suggestions to faculty to foster deep learning in their classrooms by asking questions that build on students’ curiosity and interests, by engaging in dialogue with them, similar to hooks’ engaged pedagogy, and by not limiting learning to course content and skill development but going beyond to foster learning and connection to self and others at a deeper level that could develop learners to be open to different perspectives. Kroth and Carr‐Chellman (2018) offer the following three building blocks for a profound learning pedagogy: a profound learning pedagogy assumes that there are no completely correct answers, and that the pursuit of learning is asymptotic, moving closer to truths perhaps, while recognizing there is infinite knowledge which no one person or even all humans will ever be able to capture. then, the pursuit of deeper learning never has an endpoint. developing “practices” for delving more deeply are key for a profound learner. (pp.…”

“…Learners engage in profound learning agentically, through intentional practices that engage the mind, body, and spirit. “Profound learners develop practices, habits, or routines which result in continual exploration, skill development, and growth in understanding” (Kroth & Carr‐Chellman, 2018 , p. 25).…”
