What does transformation mean for you? Paint it in the air

The paper explores the relationship between tinkering and transformative learning and in particular its implications for adult learning and professional development. Tinkering, characterized by hands-on, exploratory, and iterative processes, appears to align with the principles of transformative learning theory, which emphasize critical reflection, perspective-taking, and engagement in dialogic learning. The article describes a tinkering learning experience conducted with a group of preschool teachers and examines how adults use tinkering to enhance critical thinking, develop problem-solving skills, and promote dynamic communication and reflection within collaborative projects, key elements that support the transformative learning process.
