Abstract:
Much of what educators try to impart to PA students involves learning that is not objective or easily measured. An important part of PA training involves personal growth and experiencing new ideas, beliefs, cultures, and ways of life that are, at times, antithetical to a student's frame of reference. Transformative learning is a theory that helps structure this part of education. Utilizing the framework and parameters of transformative learning can help the PA educator meet the goals of personal growth in the students.
