Abstract
The relationships between transformative education and civic education are the major aim of this special issue, focusing on historical and contemporary examples of civic transformative education, exploring contexts, and developing new theoretical approaches to uniting these two spheres of educational theory and practice. We, as editors and authors of this special issue, see ourselves arguing in the spirit with those theorists of transformative education who emphasized that transformative education has a personal and societal dimension moments are integral and perpetual parts of both our societies and our personal development. Societies respond, learn, and sometimes even transform in response to such factors as globalization, migration, democratization (or its opposite: xenophobia, tribalism, and polarization), climate or threats such a global pandemic. And, these societal changes evoke responses, learning, and sometimes even transformation on the side of the individual. Indeed, societal transformation poses challenges for adult education theory and practice, especially those focusing on transformational dimensions of learning. Such changes at the societal level initiate or the rethinking process individuals living societies. large-scale social
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Transformative Education (JTED) is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal focused on advancing the understanding, practice, and experience of transformative education. The journal seeks to deliver high academic quality in an engaging, thought-provoking, participative, and reflexive discourse across the spectrum of issues which transformational education encompasses. Those issues include individual experience, educational and institutional processes, formal and informal purposes and venues for such education, and cultural issues such as accessibility and social context for transformative education.
