ADED 532

This course will focus on the student’s personal and professional learning, using the theory of transformative learning, which is a key theoretical framework for understanding and interpreting learning in adults. As a conceptual lens, it allows educators to challenge the taken for granted dictums of society, education, and learning. Learners will examine the theory, from its beginnings in the late 1970s and continuing to present. Particular attention is given to the social transformation possibilities of the theory. The intention is to guide learners to discover the theory and to connect it to their educational practices. Credit will be granted for only one of ADED 532 or ADED 530. Cross-listed as EDUC 530. Three credits.
