2018 - Franco Angeli

24-37 p.

  • Experiential learning through international education via study tours is an important instrument for adult learners on their path toward transformation. Study tours are a method in which the learners can gain a deeper understanding of the world and help shape their worldview as well as gain an appreciation for cultural diversity. This research aimed to establish a connection between international study tours and transformational learning for adult learners. Additionally, an intended outcome of this research is to inform postsecondary institutions of desired learning experiences from an adult learner's perspective enabling institutions to serve this underrepresented demographic better. Furthermore; this paper identifies unintended outcomes that can serve as a guide for future study tour facilitators and institutions focused on adult learners' transformation. [Publisher's text]
