Transformative Learning and the Arts: A Literature Review
Journal of Transformative Education, v18 n4 p338-355 Oct 2020
Between 2005 and 2017 yielded fertile ground for research studies and articles about transformative learning and the arts within the field of adult education. The main questions this article seeks to answer are: What art forms are being used for transformative learning, how are they being used, and with what effect? The article begins by establishing the rationale for Artistic Ways of Knowing and gives a brief summary of the topic. The remainder of the article focuses on transformative learning and is organized around a variety of artistic categories. The conclusion includes critical reflections and suggestions for further applications of this topic, through research, programs, and policy. The overall goal for this literature review is to serve as a foundational source, to gather the research on this topic together, and to provide a springboard for future research in this area.
