Perspective transformation is seen as one of the learning domains and the domain most uniquely adult. The nature and etiology of perspective transformation is elaborated with particular focus on the function of reification and of reflectivity. Implications of a critical theory for self-directed learning and adult education are explored. A Charter for Andragogy is suggested. }, interhash = {0bb5f3548547025e9356d070708d81cc}, intrahash = {fa05e013acbeadf17ae8444adcff22a6}, keywords = {mezirow transformative_education transformative_learning transformatives_lernen}, timestamp = {2022-04-22T18:15:34.000+0200}, title = {A Critical Theory of Adult Learning and Education Adult Education Quarterly September 1981 32: 3-24, }, year = 1981 }
