“变革性学习”的概念是由纽约哥伦比亚大学师范学院成人教育教授杰克·梅齐罗于1978年提出的。多年来，他一直在各个发展中国家担任成人教育顾问，受到巴西人保罗·弗莱雷和德国人约尔根·哈贝马斯等人的启发。但正是与美国女性的成人教育有关，他发现了一种更广泛的学习方式，直接触及了身份的变化。后来，Mezirow在几篇文章中详细阐述了变革学习的概念，并在实践中与之合作，尤其是在著名的成人教育指导独立学习（AEGIS）博士课程中。在2006年由彼得·萨瑟兰和吉姆·克劳瑟（编辑）首次出版的下一章中。在《终身学习：概念与语境》一书中，Mezirow概述了变革学习概念的历史和主要特征，并讨论了多年来提出的各种批评观点和扩展建议。因此，这一章可以看作是对他的工作的最后总结。
The concept of ‘transformative learning’ was launched in 1978 by Jack Mezirow, Professor of Adult Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. For many years he had been an adult education consultant in various developing countries, inspired by Brazilian Paulo Freire and German Jürgen Habermas, among others. But it was in connection with women’s adult education in the US that he discovered a wideranging kind of learning, reaching right into changes of the identity. Later, Mezirow elaborated on the concept of transformative learning in several writings and worked with it in practice, not least in the reputed Adult Education Guided Independent Study (AEGIS) doctoral programme. In the following chapter, which was fi rst published in 2006 in Peter Sutherland and Jim Crowther (eds.) Lifelong Learning: Concepts and Contexts, Mezirow recapitulates the history and main features of the concept of transformative learning and discusses various points of critique and suggestions for extension that have been put forward over the years. In this way, the chapter can be regarded as a fi nal summing-up of his work.
