Transformative Learning
Also known as transformational learning emphasizes the notion of modifying a way of thinking in response to new information. This is a style of learning and reasoning that incorporates tacit knowledge, talents, and competencies in order to assess arguments and question preconceived beliefs which can lead to new ideas and actions. It is a process of changing problematic frames of reference to make them more inclusive, insightful, open, reflective, and emotionally changeable.
