Abstract

This article presents a model for transformative learning. The model was conceptualized from a sustainable experiential learning of a student-teacher group from a private university in Surabaya and literatures on transformative learning theory and teaching the at risk children group. This paper exemplifies how the model was used to guide the selected student teachers to experience transformative learning as well as to initiate it to the community. This is a descriptive report based on a sixmonth observation and journals of practical work of the student teacher group. This study was observing how the model developed effectively. The researchers found that this model benefited both the adult learners and the at risk community. For the student teacher group, this process was not only equipped them to develop related knowledge and practical skill but also a sensitivity to continue serving the at risk communities in various levels. Meanwhile for the community, this model has helped them to see various alternatives in pursuing meaningful life inspired by the work of the student teacher group.
