ABSTRACT
This self-study explores the learning experiences and transformative professional development of a management educator facilitating transformative learning theory in Nepalese undergraduate business education. The main purpose of this study is to creatively narrate, critically reflect, and constructively discuss my lived experiences as an educator who has set out on a transformative learning intervention with learning steps that facilitate and guide students through stages of (i) disorienting dilemma, (ii) critical reflection, (iii) dialogue and engagement, discussions, rational discourse and engagement, and culminating in (iv) perspective transformation. Self-study research has been applied in this study to inquire into my own professional learning experiences and to generate experience-based knowledge. This study finds that the facilitation of each learning steps enhances the critical thinking, self-awareness, and real-world problem-solving skills of students. Similarly, evaluation of challenges encountered by the educator/researcher in these learning steps indicates that prevalent academic standards, existing pedagogical practices, and social and cultural variables affect the educational needs and expectations of undergraduate students, as well as how and when they perceive their learning as transformative. Hence, before facilitating transformative learning interventions into practice, a realistic and context-based educational framework must be established by academic institutions claiming to provide transformative education in Nepal. Furthermore, this study has generated pathways for educators in Nepal who teach business and management studies to implement instructional designs, pedagogical orientations, and learning methodologies that provide adequate context for perspective transformations that support transformative learning praxis in higher education.
