Universities aspire to offer students a transformative experience, but rarely spell out the nature of this transformation. In this essay, L. A. Paul and John Quiggin frame the successful university education as transformative in the philosophical sense. They explain the way that a successful college education can be understood as generating an individual conceptual revolution, and thus, as a transformative experience. Education can create epistemically transformative change through the process of developing critical thinking skills, leading to conceptual replacement and the discovery of new intellectual frameworks. This epistemic transformation, if deep enough, scales up into a personal transformation. After explicating the nature and structure of transformative education, Paul and Quiggin show how understanding transformation in terms of personal change and awareness of unawareness clarifies the debate over its value.

变革性教育

大学渴望为学生提供变革性的经历，但很少阐明这种变革的本质。在本文中，洛杉矶保罗（Paul Paul）和约翰·奎金（John Quiggin）将成功的大学教育视为哲学意义上的变革。他们解释了成功的大学教育可以被理解为引发个人观念革命的方式，并因此被认为是一种变革性的体验。通过发展批判性思维技能，导致观念上的替代和发现新的智力框架的过程，教育可以产生认识论上的变革。这种认识上的转变，如果足够深入，就会扩大为个人的转变。在阐明了变革性教育的本质和结构之后，
