抄録

  Today, in Japan, it seems that we need a kind of learning which makes us reflect on our values. The main reason is that we have focused on the serious economic depression, which has led to changes in our traditional values.

  From educators and facilitators' view points, one of the most important aspects of this learning is that the process will be different for each learner In order to promote transformative learning, we must consider each learner's differences.

  Patricia Cranton is studying transformative learning theory, which contains quite valuable suggestions for this. Transformative learning theory can address learning which makes us reflect on our values. In Cranton's study, transformative learning theory based on Mezirow's is analyzed using Jung's psychological type theory. Jung's theory shows the difference in personality between individuals. Using Jung's theory, Cranton tries to understand the differences in transformative learning process among learners.

  This paper tries to explain Cranton's study. First, psychological type theory is explained from Cranton's view and the reason why Cranton focused on this theory is explained. Second, the process and content of Cranton's study is discussed.
