Transformative learning is a learning theory that emphasizes the transformative potential of education. It was developed by Jack Mezirow in the 1970s and focuses on the ways in which learners can transform their perspectives, beliefs, and assumptions through the process of learning. According to this theory, transformative learning involves critical reflection and self-examination, leading to a change in the learner's worldview.
