The value of values in a transformative learning by richard close copy
1 like754 views
This document discusses the concept of transformative learning theory as proposed by Jack Mezirow. It begins with an overview of Mezirow's transformative learning theory, noting that it involves reflection on one's frame of reference, points of view, and habits of mind. It then discusses key aspects of Mezirow's theory, including the role of reflection. The document goes on to discuss how values shape one's experiences and frames of reference, either positively or negatively. It proposes that intervention aims to replace negative frameworks and values with positive ones through experiential learning opportunities. The goal is to facilitate internal change within students by altering their values, self-image, life skills, and more.

Allan Bloom
1987
There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe
in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it
through speech.!
! •! Preface!
!
They [students] learned to doubt beliefs even before they
believed in anything.!
! •! p. 42!
!
The dreariness of the family’s spiritual landscape passes
belief. … The delicate fabric of the civilization into which
the successive generations are woven has unraveled, and
children are raised, not educated.!
! •! p. 57!
!
As it now stands, students have powerful images of
what a perfect body is and pursue it incessantly. But
deprived of literary guidance, they no longer have any
image of a perfect soul, and hence do not long to
have one. They do not even imagine that there is such a
thing.!
! •! p. 67!

Experience: As a person matures he accumulates a growing reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource for learning. 3. Readiness to learn. As a person matures his readiness to learn becomes oriented increasingly to the developmental tasks of his social roles. 4. Orientation to learning. As a person matures his time perspective changes from one of postponed application of knowledge to immediacy of application, and accordingly his orientation toward learning shifts from one of subject-centeredness to one of problem centredness. 5. Motivation to learn: As a person matures the motivation to learn is internal (Knowles 1984:12). http://web.utk.edu/~start6/knowles/malcolm_knowles.html
