Transformative learning involves experiencing a deep, structural
shift in the basic premises of thought, feelings, and actions. It
is a shift of consciousness that dramatically and permanently
alters our way of being in the world. Such a shift involves our
understanding of ourselves and our self-locations; our
relationships with other humans and with the natural world; our
understanding of relations of power in interlocking structures of
class, race and gender; our body awarenesses; our visions of
alternative approaches to living; and our sense of possibilities
for social justice and peace and personal joy. The editors of this
collection make several challenges to the existing field of
transformative learning - the first is to theoreticians, who have
attempted to describe the nature of transformative learning without
regard to the content of transformative learning. The editors argue
that transformative learning theory cannot be constructed in a
content-neutral or context-free way. Their second challenge, which
assumes the importance content for transformative learning, is to
educators as practitioners. The editors argue that transformative
learning requires new educational practices consistent with the
content. Arts-based research and arts-based teaching/learning
practices are one example of such new educational practices.
Education for the soul, or spiritual practices such as meditation
or modified martial arts or indigenous peoples' forms of
teaching/learning, is another example. Each article in the
collection presents a possible model of these new practices.
