In chapter 1, Dimensions of Adult Learning, Cranton provides a brief overview of adult learning theory against Mezirow's (2000) definition of transformative learning, "a process by which previous uncritically assimilated assumptions, beliefs, values and perspectives are questioned and thereby become more open, permeable, and better validated" (p. T). Cranton's use of Mezirow's (1975) phases of personal perspective transformation, showing disorienting dilemmas, self examination, critical assessment, discontent, exploring our options, building competence and self confidence, planning, knowledge acquisition, new roles, and reintegrating into society, provides the foundation for transformative learning theory.
