This book addresses transformative learning theory and its key ideas, such as shaping transformative experiences and learning from experiences that change personal beliefs, assumptions, perceptions, and convictions. It also discusses the role of transformative experiences in protecting the self from erosion and disintegration, the importance of studying and reflecting on past experiences, constructing meaning, and negotiating knowledge and meaning. It focuses on critical thinking as a central theme in transformative learning theory, as it is a high-level psychological process and the most complex type of human behavior. It also focuses on meaning-making, motivation, and engagement as key components of transformative learning. Meaning-making, motivation, and engagement are processes through which information is transformed into knowledge that guides actions, and through which individuals give meaning to their experiences. The book also addresses transformative learning as a catalyst for conceptual change and reshaping the learner's cognitive structure. Thus, transformative learning involves continuous refinement and correction of alternative perceptions that are inconsistent with scientifically accepted knowledge. Finally, the book focuses on the empirical foundations of transformative learning theory, explaining the preparation of science teachers from a transformative learning theory perspective.
