Please compose an essay of 500 words or less. Columbia University Sociologist Jack Mezirow is credited with the articulation of transformative learning theory specifically for adult education. In Transformative Learning, Mezirow and his associates identify ten phases of learning that are involved in the transformative learning process: 1. A disorienting dilemma; 2. Self-examination; 3. A critical assessment of assumptions; 4. Recognition of a connection between one's discontent and the process of transformation; 5. Exploration of options for new roles, relationships, and action; 6. Planning a course of action; 7. Acquiring knowledge and skills for implementing one's plan; 8. Provisional trying of new roles; 9. Building competence and self-confidence in new roles and relationships; 10. A reintegration into one's life on the basis of conditions dictated by one's new perspective. Which of these phases have you experienced in pursuit of your education? Choose one or more of these phases and discuss how your pursuit of higher education is a transformative learning experience.
