Book

Stories of transformative learning

Kroth, Michael S., author, Cranton, Patricia, author

Overview

This book is intended to encourage people to explore the potential for transformative learning in their lives, practices, and communities. It illustrates the transformative learning process through ten stories of individuals from both inside and outside of the classroom. There have been many accounts of transformative learning experiences, but it is not often that we have the opportunity to hear first-hand personal stories of transformative learning. Here, ten stories are told directly by the people who experienced them, with additional commentary from the authors. These stories are intended to resonate with readers and to inspire people to create the conditions where transformative learning can occur in their lives and professional practice. Storytelling is one way in which both educators and learners can understand the process of transformative learning. Telling stories, reading others'stories, and contemplating our own stories all help us to become aware of alternative perspectives, a process that is at the heart of critical reflection and critical self-reflection, which is, in turn, central to transformative learning.
