Transformational Learners: Transformational Teachers

Transformational learning, according to Mezirow (1981), involves transforming taken-for-granted frames of reference into more discriminating, flexible ‘habits of mind’. In teacher education, transformative learning impacts on the development of students’ action theories, self-efficacy and professional attributes. Although considered imperative to reflective practice, not all students take a tra...

Transformational implementation

program rather than in the implementation phase on the concrete program. Several researchers have espoused an approach which we will call Transformational Implementation (TI) , in which equivalence-preserving transformations are successively applied to the abstract program to effect such an optimization. The key to this approach is that while optimizing transformations are selected by the progr...

Transformational Implementation

Historical reference' is the ability to refer to information in prior states of a program's computation history. We use program transformation to achieve reasonably efficient implementations of specifications making use of historical reference. These implementations remember sufficient information as they execute, and use conventional queries of this remembered information in place of the histo...

Transformational Teaching

Psychological science has developed remarkably in the past century. These advances are due in part to the development of new methods for examining the underpinnings of how people think and behave. Although studies that employ the naked eye as a measuring instrument still hold tremendous value, behavioral observation is now joined by cutting-edge methods that permit reliable examination of human...
