This article introduces formation as an organizing model for lifelong learning and places existing lifelong learning theory into this larger context. Further, in order to demonstrate how this framework might be applied, we suggest a lifelong learning agenda based on formation, which includes intentionality, meta-learning skills, and meta-practices. Meta-learning skills are strategic tools for facilitating lifelong, profound formation, while meta-practices are the strategic implementation of those meta-learning skills. Lifelong learning as continual formation has substructures such as deformation, reformation, and transformation. Profound learning practices lead toward profound living, more broadly described as human flourishing.

形成作为终身学习过程的组织框架

本文介绍了形成作为终身学习的组织模型，并将现有的终身学习理论置于这个更大的背景中。此外，为了展示如何应用该框架，我们建议基于形成的终身学习议程，其中包括意向性、元学习技能和元实践。元学习技能是促进终身、深刻形成的战略工具，而元实践是这些元学习技能的战略实施。作为持续形成的终身学习具有变形、改造和转化等子结构。深刻的学习实践导致深刻的生活，更广泛地描述为人类的繁荣。
