Transformative Learning and the Journey of Individuation ERIC Digest No. 223 by John M. Dirkx ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education, 2000 Over the last 20 years, transformation theory has deepened our understanding of what it means to learn in adulthood. Collectively, the work of Paulo Freire, Phyllis Cunningham, Laurent Daloz, and Jack Mezirow, among others, addresses the sociocultural and personal dimensions of transformative learning. Dominant views of transformative learning emphasize rational, cognitive processes related to critical reflection. An additional perspective on transformation, however, has emerged, led by Robert Boyd and his colleagues (Boyd 1989, 1991; Boyd and Myers 1988). This work focuses on deeper emotional and spiritual dimensions of learning that many have suggested are underdeveloped in dominant conceptions of transformative learning (Merriam and Caffarella 1999). This Digest summarizes and expands on Boyd's notion of transformative learning, discussing the role of image, symbol, ritual, fantasy, and imagination in transformation. Thanks.
