Transformative Learning

I think the discussion in class last night on transformative learning may have been exhausting for many of us. It was interesting to see how passionate we all were. The part I thought was best was that we were all able to share our opinions openly, and it seemed like everyone respected each others ideas.
For me, the whole concept is hard to grasp. I come from an education background that is about 50/50 with behaviorist and cognitivist. In the classroom, you are pretty much fed information. Like an empty vessel, they try to fill you with knowledge. There isn't much thinking or reflecting. In nursing things are pretty much black and white. Again, in the clinical setting, our learning tends to be more behaviorist. You watch someone change a central line dressing, then you are expected to be able to do it.
There isn't a lot of reflecting on your feelings to come to a crossroads in your understanding. I don't really come to conflict with myself about any prior knowledge or ideas I have had, so I don't have that many opportunities in the work place for transformative change. As for learning about myself in my personal life, I have a hard time thinking of an example of this type of learning. Maybe it would be a type of transformational learning if I did realize I had had one of those experiences.
