摘要
The author discuses transformative learning as a means to explore the centrality of experiences, provide critical reflection, and a rational discourse to examine a set of conditions which need to be fulfilled to foster the application of the transformative learning process for professors and the students at the University of Prishtina. The author conducted a modest, but informative, research design with a small sample of students and professors. This research, conducted during the month of August, enabled students and professors to share their opinions about transformative learning and provides an overview as to whether a conducive environment to foster transformative learning exists at the University of Prishtina. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
