| contents | Preparing for Complexity and Wicked Problems through Transformational Learning Approaches Yukawa, Joyce Transformative Learning Information Science Education Leadership Training Learning Strategies Student Development Learning Theories Cognitive Development Concept Formation Capacity Building Social Justice Educational Practices Educational Strategies Professional Development College Programs As the information environment becomes increasingly complex and challenging, Library and Information Studies (LIS) education is called upon to nurture innovative leaders capable of managing complex situations and "wicked problems." While disciplinary expertise remains essential, higher levels of mental complexity and adaptive capabilities are also needed to manage complexity. This article reviews three transformational learning approaches with the potential to effectively guide student growth toward these higher levels: (1) overcoming immunity to change, (2) threshold concepts and variation theories, and (3) transformative learning theory. All three approaches aim at transforming high-level meanings that are limiting into understandings that empower in order to achieve pragmatic goals, comprehend foundational disciplinary concepts, and generate new frames of reference for social justice. |
