This paper provides a description of recent transformative learning applications in four broad areas – health care study abroad, community, and the workplace. The applications were selected from a literature review of English language articles published in peer-reviewed journals from 2010 to 2020. To describe the applications in each of the four broad areas, the paper focuses on the rationale for the studies, their settings, their context, the reported transformation or outcome as well as the impediments and facilitating factors for the transformation. The paper also includes an overview of research designs and instruments that can be generally used to study applications of transformative learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper introduces ways that transformative learning is defined, conceptualized, practiced, and researched. Although such viewpoints share much in common, they differ based on context, culture, purpose, and process, among other things. Transformative learning is a living theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
