In the following we begin by defining transformative learning as compared to transformative experience. Next we make our argument for the value of focusing on smaller more localized types of change (TE) in addition to the global type of transformative learning suggested by many scholars. We then discuss research on TE, including strategies for fostering TE and research showing that transformative learning of this small-scale type can have large- scale impacts on learning and motivation. We conclude by discussing practical implications and future directions including thoughts on how TEs may contribute to more grandiose Transformative learning experiences.
