Transformative Learning for a New Worldview: Learning to Think Differently

By M.G. Jackson

Transformative learning is a process in which we question all the assumptions about the world and ourselves that make up our worldview, visualise alternative assumptions, and then test them in practice. The author describes the process, offering a critique of contemporary assumptions, and suggests alternatives to illustrate the process. The primary focus of the book is on transformative learning in mainstream global culture, but the special problems and opportunities for people of post-colonial societies are also dealt with. Practical suggestions for conducting transformative learning exercises are given.
