Transformative learning as a term of self-transformation: Towards a revolution of meaning

  • 1. ROR icon Hellenic Open University

Description

Abstract: In the present study, we attempted to establish a new dimension in the perspective of Mezirow's transformative learning. We referred to an emergent field that is given meaning by the learner the moment they achieve the adoption of a new condition for approaching knowledge and themselves. This field constitutes the common component of transformation and internal transformation by forming new existential searches in the new field that is being composed. Under this view, transformative learning can give the bibliographic discussion a new perspective, that of the existential revolution towards the old self. Yet, it is not about psychological hermeneutics but about an opening of the self towards freedom.
