College certainly changes students—it alters what they know, how much they know and what they are able to do with that knowledge. Students also learn skills associated with their chosen professions. But college is about much more than the acquisition of discipline-related knowledge and skills. College can also change how students think about themselves and how they see the world. This “transformative learning” occurs when students begin to question the assumptions, beliefs, values and perspectives they normally take for granted.
During a live, online interview, Maryellen Weimer, editor of the longstanding
Teaching Professor newsletter, will speak with Professor Patricia Cranton, a noted authority on transformative learning. They’ll discuss the nature of transformative learning and what kind of classroom conditions, assignments, and activities promote and cultivate transformative learning. The interview will also explore how transformative learning affects the growth and development of teachers themselves. Participants in the live interview will have the chance to ask their own questions of Dr. Cranton, too.
Knowledge benefits for you:
• Learn what transformative learning is and how it relates to content knowledge and skill acquisition
• Understand how transformative learning prompts students’ lifelong learning and self discovery
• Discuss how your classroom climate, course design, assignments and activities can encourage transformative learning
• Discover the role transformative learning plays in your own growth and development
• Send in questions and comments of your own in a live question-and-answer segment

• Faculty development personnel
• Research specialists
• Anyone interested in new information about learning styles
