Why should you consider transformative learning?

Transformative learning processes are the main processes through wich learners gain knowledge. It also appears that learners have large difficulties with transformative processes. The learning environment should be designed in such a way that these problems are prevented to occur or that if learners run into them may cope with them. The SimQuest support measures are specifically introduced to give this prevention and support.

Transformative processes can be supported in two ways. Directive support means that a learner is directed what to do (such as assignments may do). In non-directive support learners are supported to perform the transformative process on their own (for example through monitoring tool and a hypothesis scratchpad).
