It is through the social structures we live in and the resulting social relations, behaviors, and norms emanating from those structures, that we learn how to live together, democratically or otherwise. Adult education can promote the learning of democracy by helping people develop social structures that are democratic in form and function. Drawing on examples from Europe and the U.S., this article presents two such structures: (1) the system of voluntary associations in Germany; and (2) sociocracy as a form of democratic institutional governance. This article discusses how these structures can promote processes through which participants practice living democratically. Six principles for adult civic learning are thus derived: Inclusivity, Horizontal Relationships, Polycentricity, Confluence of Expert and Amateur, Interdependence between Specific Situations and Larger Contexts, and the Reciprocal Nature of Civic Learning and Solidarity. }, number={3}, journal={ADULT LEARNING}, author={Hoggan, Chad and Hoggan-Kloubert, Tetyana and Owen, Renee}, year={2023}, month={Aug}, pages={168–180} } @article{hoggan_hoggan-kloubert_2023, title={The Ethics of Radical and Transformative Education}, volume={7}, ISSN={["1552-3047"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1177/07417136231187840}, DOI={10.1177/07417136231187840}, abstractNote={ This article presents a framework for ethics for radical and transformative education.

It positions democracy, with its concomitant respect for human dignity, as the raison d'être of the field of adult education. Therefore, adult education practice should support democratic capabilities, respect learner autonomy, and allow for plurality.

While linguists have long accepted the concept of dialect equality, educators have struggled with the issue, sparking a history of controversy and debate underscoring larger social issues of diversity and equity. For decades, educators have struggled with the most fundamental questions of when, how, and towards what purpose to address linguistic diversity. Drawing from the literature, debates, and practices in the U.S., this article examines the evolution of educational responses to the interrelated issues of disrespect for stigmatised dialects, expectations for Standard English in academic and professional settings, and students’ developing sense of self and authentic voice. Different pedagogies for addressing linguist diversity are reviewed and compared, including code-switching, literary analysis, and code-meshing. These pedagogies build on each other and are moving in the direction of greater alignment, with important considerations for educators who seek to broaden their understanding of linguistic diversity as part of an overarching commitment to equity and social justice.}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LIFELONG EDUCATION}, author={McKinney, Emry and Hoggan, Chad}, year={2022}, month={Jun} } @article{hoggan-kloubert_hoggan_2022, title={Post-Truth as an Epistemic Crisis: The Need for Rationality, Autonomy, and Pluralism}, volume={2}, ISSN={["1552-3047"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1177/07417136221080424}, DOI={10.1177/07417136221080424}, abstractNote={ Contemporary society is experiencing an epistemic crisis, evidenced by such “post-truth” phenomena as “alternative facts.” Traditional notions related to knowledge and Truth have been under continual, partly justifiable, attack under the eclectic banner of postmodernism, and alternative epistemic foundations (essential for democracy to function) have not been provided.

One perspective on this question can be seen in the writings of Mezirow (1991, 2004), where he claims that childhood is the time for formation and adulthood is the time for transformation. Part of Mezirow’s argument is that transformation needs to be driven by self-directed, metacognitive processes. In essence, he argues that adults should critically evaluate the taken-for-granted assumptions assimilated from societal upbringings and decide for themselves whether they will continue to believe them. (This is, of course, an oversimplification of Mezirow’s theory.) Addressing this metacognitive aspect of Mezirow’s theory, Sharan Merriam (2004) points out that his espoused processes presuppose that learners have higher levels of cognitive development, which cannot necessarily be assumed to exist even in adulthood. Acknowledging Merriam’s critique, Mezirow (2004, p. 69) added that the role and duty of adult education is “to help these adults acquire the insight, ability and disposition to realize this potential (for perspective transformation) in their lives.” This dialogue between Merriam and Mezirow points to the possibility that transformative education encompasses more than just promoting immediate, dramatic change, but that it also includes (and is arguably more justifiable in) the teaching and developing of processes that make possible and hold the potential for long-term transformative effects (Hoggan & Kloubert, 2020). And if this is the case, then although perspective transformation as defined by Mezirow may likely be restricted to adulthood, transformative education (in terms of promoting processes}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION}, author={Hoggan, Chad}, year={2021}, month={Jan}, pages={3–6} } @article{yadusky_kheang_hoggan_2021, title={Helping Underprepared Students Succeed: Minimizing Threats to Identity}, volume={45}, ISSN={["1521-0413"]}, DOI={10.1080/10668926.2020.1719939}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Although the practice of channeling students who are labeled as academically underprepared into developmental education courses has been a ubiquitous practice among community colleges, the vast majority of these students are not completing their developmental coursework, much less their desired credential.

The research conducted in-depth interviews with 16 students who successfully completed or were on track to complete their developmental coursework at a two-year MSI. Framed by Schlossberg’s transition theory, findings showed that being labeled as “underprepared” generated feelings of isolation, stigmatization, and a lack of control, which we argue are threats to identity that led to strong emotional and behavioral reactions. As many colleges are looking for new approaches to address the challenge of so-called student underpreparedness, we argue that the design of developmental interventions, and indeed of all community college structures, should accommodate and support students’ fledgling identities as college students.}, number={6}, journal={COMMUNITY COLLEGE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND PRACTICE}, author={Yadusky, Kaye and Kheang, Somanita and Hoggan, Chad}, year={2021}, month={Jun}, pages={423–436} } @article{kloubert_hoggan_2021, title={Migrants and the Labor Market The Role and Tasks of Adult Education}, volume={32}, ISSN={["2162-4070"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1177/1045159520977713}, DOI={10.1177/1045159520977713}, abstractNote={ The process of migration to a new country brings with it a host of challenges, and therefore also learning needs.

Focusing on the transition into the labor market and drawing on the expertise of adult educators who work in these systems in Germany, this article explores several stumbling blocks that make a successful integration for migrants more difficult and describes three strategies to address them: challenging the logic of the labor market, dealing with failure, and acknowledging multiple forms of discrimination.

Transformative learning theory is a human construction designed to describe a phenomenon, but it is imperfect at best. The author advocates a delineation of the terms. Namely, the term perspective transformation should be used to refer to Mezirow’s theory because it has only ever been used for his specific theory. The term transformative learning should be used to refer to the broad range of theories (including Mezirow’s) that attempt to describe and explain dramatic changes in how people experience, conceptualize, and interact with the world. The author uses transformative learning in adult education investigations to understand the experiences of military veterans transitioning from combat to civilian life, of breast cancer survivors navigating the psycho-social transition of their disease, of students from backgrounds of poverty attending community college, and even the negative transformation of people becoming radicalized into violent terrorism. There are many more situations that cause people to change, and those specific situations shape the processes that lead to change and therefore shape the eventual outcomes of that change. All of the theories and constructs in the transformative learning literature are nothing more than human creations designed to explain the phenomena associatedwith dramatic learning and change in adulthood. The value of transformative learning as a metatheory is to provide constructs in the form of analytic tools that scholars from disparate disciplines can use in working together to create better, more useful constructs for understanding that phenomena. There are identified and presented the analytic tools (definition, criteria, typology) to provide a framework for scholars to think carefully and with clarity about what they mean when using the word “transformation”. The need in more holistic, interdisciplinary understandings of transformative learning is substantiated, thus promoting the use of transformative learning as a metatheory.}, journal={Labor et Educatio}, publisher={Uniwersytet Jagiellonski - Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellonskiego}, author={Chad, Hoggan}, year={2020}, pages={109–124} } @article{hoggan_2020, title={Editor's Preface: Striving to Build a Better World}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1552-7840"]}, DOI={10.1177/1541344620927823}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION}, author={Hoggan, Chad}, year={2020}, month={Jul}, pages={187–189} } @article{hoggan_2020, title={Mentoring in Adult Education: A Tribute to Patricia Cranton}, volume={2020}, ISSN={1052-2891 1536-0717}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ace.20403}, DOI={10.1002/ace.20403}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={167-168}, journal={New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Hoggan, Chad}, year={2020}, month={Sep}, pages={119–126} } @misc{hoggan_2020, title={Transformative Learning}, ISBN={9780199756810}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/obo/9780199756810-0263}, DOI={10.1093/obo/9780199756810-0263}, abstractNote={Originating and most often used in the discipline of adult education, the term transformative learning “refers to processes that result in significant and irreversible changes in the way a person experiences, conceptualizes, and interacts with the world” (“Transformative Learning as a Metatheory: Definition, Criteria, and Typology.” Adult Education Quarterly 66.1 [2016]: p. 71, cited under Origins and Overviews). Its origins are in a white paper published in 1978, wherein Jack Mezirow of Teachers College, Columbia University, reported the results of a study of women’s re-entry work programs in community colleges across the United States (Education for Perspective Transformation. Women’s Re-Entry Programs in Community Colleges [1978], cited under Origins and Overviews). In this report, he coined the term perspective transformation to describe the profound changes experienced by some of the women in their study. Over the next several decades, Mezirow developed and continually refined this concept into a comprehensive theory of adult learning, always maintaining a focus on the transformative potential of learning, i.e., its ability to help learners change in fundamental ways rather than merely adding knowledge or skills. During this theory development, his use of terms extended beyond perspective transformation, as he referred to his work as transformation theory and then transformative (or transformational) learning theory. From these beginnings, a large base of literature emerged addressing the profound changes that are possible from learning in adulthood. Of the various names used over time by Mezirow and others, transformative learning is the most ubiquitous term in this scholarship. It is used to refer to Mezirow’s evolving theory of adult learning, but it is also used to refer to any of a number of theories that focus on significant changes that learning can have on people, especially those changes that are not adequately encompassed by the usual descriptors: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Many of these theories were developed independent of Mezirow’s work, sometimes even prior to it. It is probably most accurate to say that transformative learning is not a single theory, but rather a collection of theories around a similar phenomenon. This collection of theories (and more commonly called “approaches” to transformative learning) derived from numerous, disparate disciplinary perspectives that often had little theoretical connection with each other. Therefore, when scholars write about transformative learning, they may be referring to Jack Mezirow’s theory, another theory in the adult education literature that addresses transformation, or the range of theories (or approaches) as a whole. Nevertheless, beginning with Mezirow there has arisen a literature around the phenomenon of the transformative potential of adult learning. Although historically this literature has been mostly by North American scholars, it is increasingly being used by scholars in other countries (especially Europe) and disciplines.

In so doing, we introduce three key concepts to the lexicon of perspective transformation: continuity, intersubjectivity, and emancipatory praxis. For each, we address the underlying omission or weakness in Mezirow’s theory and offer revised conceptualizations of the theory. }, number={1}, journal={Adult Education Quarterly}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Hoggan, Chad and Mälkki, Kaisu and Finnegan, Fergal}, year={2016}, month={Oct}, pages={48–64} } @article{dirkx_hoggan_2016, title={Editor's Notes}, volume={14}, ISSN={["1552-7840"]}, DOI={10.1177/1541344616666910}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION}, author={Dirkx, John M. and Hoggan, Chad}, year={2016}, month={Oct}, pages={283–284} } @article{alpi_hoggan_2016, title={Recognizing the Value of Threshold Concepts: Application of a Conceptual Tool to Professional Students Learning to Be Researchers}, volume={57}, ISSN={0276-3877 1541-1117}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02763877.2016.1121070}, DOI={10.1080/02763877.2016.1121070}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Threshold concepts, as theorized by Meyer and Land, are key understandings, ways of thinking, and subjectivities that are necessary for newcomers to learn in order to participate successfully in a given field of study or practice. Every discipline and profession has threshold concepts, but often they are so integral to veterans’ participation in their field that they remain implicit until an effort is made to articulate tacit understandings into explicit learning outcomes for newcomers. Library and information science uses threshold concepts as a framework for educating all types of students in information literacy competencies expected of novice researchers. This report demonstrates how threshold concepts were articulated and implemented into a summer research scholars program for veterinary students. This article uses a typology of transformative learning outcomes as a guide to articulate threshold concepts specific for researchers in veterinary science. Through examining the context of a summer research scholars program for veterinary students, these concepts were further elucidated and considered in the implementation of information literacy learning opportunities for this program.}, number={2}, journal={The Reference Librarian}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Alpi, Kristine and Hoggan, Chad}, year={2016}, month={Feb}, pages={114–130} } @article{dees_moore_hoggan_2016, title={Reflective Practice and North Carolina’s Developmental Reading and English Redesign Efforts}, volume={9}, number={1}, journal={NADE Digest}, author={Dees, L. and Moore, E. and Hoggan, C.}, year={2016}, pages={8–12} } @article{mayhew_hoggan_rockenbach_lo_2016, title={The Association Between Worldview Climate Dimensions and College Students’ Perceptions of Transformational Learning}, volume={87}, ISSN={1538-4640}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/jhe.2016.0026}, DOI={10.1353/jhe.2016.0026}, abstractNote={Based on 13,776 student respondents to the Campus Religious and Spiritual Climate Survey (CRSCS) across three academic years at 52 colleges and universities, this study examined how aspects of the campus climate for religious and spiritual diversity related to student perceptions of transformational learning in college.

Although the findings align with some existing research, this study illustrates the complex and nuanced issues that veteran students face, including strained finances and lack of familiarity with college structure. For female veterans, these issues are often further complicated by circumstances such as motherhood and marriage. }, number={3}, journal={Adult Learning}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Pellegrino, Lauren and Hoggan, Chad}, year={2015}, month={Apr}, pages={124–131} } @article{hoggan_militello_2015, title={Digital Stories to Promote Reflection and Community in Doctoral Education}, volume={63}, ISSN={0737-7363 1948-4801}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07377363.2015.1042954}, DOI={10.1080/07377363.2015.1042954}, abstractNote={Chad Hoggan is Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.

Research literature on the psychosocial transition of breast cancer, posttraumatic growth, and transformative learning theory are connected. Based on research, a model for informal transformative learning is presented. Broadly, this model has three elements: Crisis, Coping, and Engagement. The model addresses ways that a life-threatening illness can cause acute challenges, and that transformative learning occurs when a particular type of challenge is particularly problematic based on the person's habitual ways of thinking and being. The model positions this type of learning as an adaptive response to changes in a person's physical or social context changes, as well as when her positionality is altered within existing social contexts. }, booktitle={Measuring and Analyzing Informal Learning in the Digital Age}, publisher={IGI Global}, author={Hoggan, Chad}, year={2015}, pages={64–79} } @article{evans_pellegrino_hoggan_2015, title={Supporting veterans at the community college: A review of the literature}, volume={21}, number={1}, journal={Community College Enterprise}, publisher={Schoolcraft College}, author={Evans, J. and Pellegrino, L. and Hoggan, C.}, year={2015}, pages={47–65} } @article{hoggan_2015, title={Transformative Learning as a Metatheory}, volume={66}, ISSN={0741-7136 1552-3047}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0741713615611216}, DOI={10.1177/0741713615611216}, abstractNote={ This article addresses a significant problem with transformative learning theory; namely, that it is increasingly being used to refer to almost any instance of learning.

First, it portrays a subtle but important evolution in the way the theory has been used in the literature and, as a solution, positions transformative learning as an analytic metatheory. It then presents a typology of transformative learning outcomes as a conceptual tool scholars can use to describe learning phenomena.

The author argues that such learning and growth can be considered transformative learning, especially from ontological perspectives of the theory. The participants’ change process consisted of different types of experiences that can be classified as Crisis, Coping, and Engagement. These types of experiences illustrate a process of adaptation to a new context. The findings suggests that the specific context in which transformative learning occurs has a profound effect on the epistemology used to negotiate that learning and growth, and in turn shapes and informs the types of change that occur. }, number={3}, journal={Adult Education Quarterly}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Hoggan, Chad}, year={2014}, month={Feb}, pages={191–205} } @article{hoggan_cranton_2014, title={Promoting Transformative Learning Through Reading Fiction}, volume={13}, ISSN={1541-3446 1552-7840}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1541344614561864}, DOI={10.1177/1541344614561864}, abstractNote={This article is a report on research into the role of fiction in promoting transformative learning in higher education settings.

Our major findings consisted of the following three categories: promoting change (with subcategories of promotes desire for change and stimulates change), new perspectives (with subcategories of opens eyes to new perspectives and opens new/more holistic perspectives), and fosters critical reflections.

The experiences were considered transformative because the participants claimed new ways of thinking and being, leading to a fuller and richer lived experience. Educators aspiring to promote transformative learning may want to add techniques that incorporate conceptual metaphors to their (metaphorical) toolbox of pedagogical resources. }, number={4}, journal={Adult Learning}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Hoggan, Chad}, year={2014}, month={Aug}, pages={134–141} } @inbook{cranton_hoggan_2012, place={San Francisco}, title={Evaluating Transformative Learning}, ISBN={978-1-118-21893-8}, booktitle={The Handbook of Transformative Learning: Theory, Research, and Practice}, publisher={Jossey-Bass}, author={Cranton, P. and Hoggan, C.}, editor={Taylor, Edward W. and Cranton, PatriciaEditors}, year={2012}, month={Apr}, pages={520–535} } @book{hoggan_simpson_stuckey_2009, place={Malabar, FL}, title={Creative expression in transformative learning: Tools and techniques for educators of adults}, ISBN={978-1-57524-297-2}, publisher={Krieger Publishing}, year={2009} } @inbook{hoggan_2009, place={Malabar, FL}, title={The power of story: Metaphors, literature, and creative writing}, ISBN={978-1-57524-297-2}, booktitle={Creative expression in transformative learning: Tools and techniques for educators of adults}, publisher={Krieger Publishing}, author={Hoggan, C.}, editor={Hoggan, C. and Simpson, S. and Stuckey, H.Editors}, year={2009}, pages={51–74} } @inbook{hoggan_simpson_stuckey_2009, place={Malabar, FL}, title={Transformative learning, multiple ways of knowing, and creativity theory in progress}, ISBN={978-1-57524-297-2}, booktitle={Creative expression in transformative learning: Tools and techniques for educators of adults}, publisher={Krieger Publishing}, author={Hoggan, C. and Simpson, S. and Stuckey, H.}, editor={Hoggan, C. and Simpson, S. and Stuckey, H.Editors}, year={2009}, pages={7–28} } @inbook{hoggan_simpson_stuckey_2009, place={Malabar, FL}, title={Using creative expression in adult learning contexts}, ISBN={978-1-57524-297-2}, booktitle={Creative expression in transformative learning: Tools and techniques for educators of adults}, publisher={Krieger Publishing}, author={Hoggan, C. and Simpson, S. and Stuckey, H.}, editor={Hoggan, C. and Simpson, S. and Stuckey, H.Editors}, year={2009}, pages={157–177} }
