Registration is open for the webinar \u201cTransformative Information Literacy: Conceptualizing Information Literacy through the Lens of Transformative Learning Theory”. It will take place on Thursday, June 26, from 11:00 AM to 12:15 PM CDT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What would it mean to teach information literacy with an explicit goal of transformation in mind? Originally developed by Jack Mezirow, transformative learning theory\u201d has played a prominent role in the literature of adult education for several decades” (Hoggan, 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transformative learning theory outlines a process by which an individuals’ frame of reference is transformed through encounters with information or experiences that cause them to question their original habits of mind and perspectives. More than just learning new facts or skills, or expanding their existing frame of reference, a transformative learning experience can result in a “substantive shift in one’s desires, self-awareness, belief structure, and lived experience” (Paul & Quiggin, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This presentation will provide an overview of transformative learning theory and will consider it in relation to efforts to teach information literacy. The presenter will outline a conception of information literacy developed through the lens of transformative learning theory, and which is aimed at supporting transformation in how our students understand and engage with the information environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The presenter is Jane Hammons, Teaching & Learning Engagement Librarian at The Ohio State University Libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To register, please go here<\/a>.
