Fordham UniversityThis handbook is a much expanded version of the

approach to study transformative learning, the book willprovide a
model of research, firsthand perspective of how research design
develops, reprints of articles basedon the related research and
specific assistance in conducting further research in this area.
Over 50 studiesaround the world have been conducted base on King's
original research, and her work has extended acrossmore than 12
studies since the original publication.Moreover, this volume is a
vital research companion book to King's popular book, Bringing
Transformative Learning to Life (Krieger, 2005). Based on our
history with the prior edition (it is sold out); this book will
have wide appeal among adult education human resource development,
psychology and counseling researchers, students, professors, and
practitioners, and it serve as an excellent textbook or personal
introduction studies offoundations of adult learning, applied
research or transformative learning. Professors and students of
adult learning, counseling, human resourcedevelopment, staff
development, educational administration and leadership, psychology
and other social sciences use this as a guide for researchstudies
especially in the area of adult learning and/or transformative
learning.Readers will find that this handbook provides an overview
of King's transformative learning research dating back to 1997, a
manual for useof the research tools, a research methodology and an
approach to open new vistas of research. The first manual
(published in 1998) is now out of printand this 10th anniversary
edition not only fills the gap, but also continues where it
stopped. This handbook delineates the original model and
theexpanding and evolving research which has developed from 1997 to
2008.More than a manual, instead this book uses a variety of
formats to accomplish this goal: reflection, formal discussion,
instructions, technical information, personal and learner stories,
selectedresearch articles, and several modified forms of the
original Learning Activities Survey (LAS)instrument.
