The third edition of Patricia Cranton's Understanding and Promoting
Transformative Learning brings a wealth of new insight from the
tremendous growth in the field during the decade since the previous
edition. As in the previous editions, the book helps adult
educators understand what transformative learning is, distinguish
it from other forms of learning, and foster it in their practice.
The first part of the book is dedicated to clarifying
transformative learning theory and relating it to other theoretical
frameworks. The author examines transformative learning from the
learner's perspective, and discusses individual differences in how
learners go through the process. In the second half of the book,
the focus is squarely on strategies for promoting transformative
learning in a wide variety of adult and higher education contexts.
Practitioners will be able to take ideas from the text and apply
them directly in their teaching. Since 1975, transformative
learning has become a core theoretical perspective in adult and
higher education, and research has proliferated. In the past
decade, adult education and especially transformative learning grew
into a noticeably larger field. The numbers of undergraduate and
graduate programs in adult education have increased and continue to
increase as more and more individuals are seeking the expertise,
skills, and training necessary to work with adult learners in
higher education, business, industry, government, health
professions, non-profit organizations, and community development.
In addition, the number of programs in higher education (both
undergraduate and graduate) that include courses in transformative
learning has grown dramatically. These academic audiences use the
book to further their understanding of transformative learning
theory and practice. Drawing on the latest research as well as the
author's own teaching experience in both online and face-to-face
courses, this new edition will be a vital resource for members of
the transformative learning community, as well as those
encountering the topic for the first time.
