    Understanding Mezirow’s transformative learning theory.


    Mezirow’s transformative learning is defined as “an orientation which holds that the way learners
    interpret and reinterpret their sense experience is central to making meaning and hence learning.” Put
    in simple terms, transformative learning is the idea that learners who are getting new information are
    also evaluating their past ideas and understanding, and are shifting their very worldview as they obtain
    new information and through critical reflection. It goes beyond simply acquiring knowledge, and dives
    into the way that learners find meaning in their lives and understanding. This kind of learning experience
    involves a fundamental change in our perceptions—learners start to question all the things they knew or
    thought before and examine things from new perspectives in order to make room for new insights and
    information. Many learners and experts agree that this kind of learning leads to true freedom of thought
    and understanding.
