Integrated (planery) perspective of tranformative learning
O Transformative learning involves experiencing a deep, structural shift in the basic premises of thought, feeling and actions. It is a shift of consciousness that dramatically and permanently alters our way of being in the world. Such a shift involves our understanding of ourselves and our self-locations; our relationships with other humans and with the natural world, our understanding of relations of power in interlocking structures of class, race and gender (O’Sullivan, 2003: 326).
