Abstract	Transformative learning refers to a perspective transformation or change in worldview. Teachers in literacy education and adult basic education as well as GED instructors can learn how to foster transformative learning. These techniques can help learners engage in critical thought and discussion with others and may gain a broader, more inclusive view of themselves and their world. This article describes six elements that promote transformative learning. These elements are: individual experience, critical reflection, dialogue, seeing transformative learning as a holistic experience, the importance of sociocultural and personal factors, and authenticity. Some tools that teachers can use to foster transformative learning in an educational setting include: asking questions that cause learners to reflect on what they are doing and why they are doing it, role-playing, simulations, arts-based activities, using the critical incident technique, and encouraging learner support groups and group-based activities. These elements and activities will provide learners opportunities to expand their worldviews. (ERIC).
