Thank you Dr. Brendel for the visuals that help me to understand transformative learning theory. You made such words as "disorienting dilemma" and "assumptions" come alive with full understanding of these concepts.
Indeed. This is insightful, easy to follow, and it has both social and individual benefits. But you should consider finding more subjects, reading books associated with them, and then do a series of these explanations for each one. Your personal style makes you a great communicator and this behind the glass thing is definitely original. I really hope i'll get to see more content from you.
By my lights, There’s only 1 objective reality, there are numerous subjective perceptions & understandings.I think this assumption about the objective world underlies all of science. I think education needs to get back to a model of empowering students to apply reason & logic (which I would argue are objective realities we discover, not social constructions) to the objective world to increase their capacities to be healthy productive persons, capable of traditional critical thinking & pragmatic problem solving. I would also argue that there are objective values & beauties in reality that teachers can facilitate students awareness off. Transformative learning theory seems ultimately grounded in post modern relativistic nonsense that devoids the world of objective meaning & obliterates solid epistemological foundations on which true learning relies. If someone in a Socratic seminar makes a bad argument full of fallacies, that isn’t a valid perspective that should be given the same weight as 1 that doesn’t. Just my thoughts.

Thank you so much for making these videos, they are priceless! However, what happened to #6?
I have an interview and the non profit uses this model.
