Transformative learning theory is becoming one of the most celebrated and recognized form of pedagogy in adult education. The inauguration of the journal of transformational education reflects the elevating interesting in the theory. This article aims to explore the theory of transformative learning which was first developed by Jack Mezirow (1978). The theoretical foundations of transformative learning theory will be introduced and the argument for the need of transformative learning within Christian academia will be presented. Transformative learning deals with perspective transformation. Mezirow first introduced the theory as he studied the development of shift in learners’perspective, and Mezirow concludes that there are ten developmental stages to transformative learning experience. The ten stages can be identified into three components, and these are core contributing elements to transformative learning: Triggering of Critical Events, Disorienting Dilemma, Critical Reflection, and Attainment of New Perspective and New Premise. The biblical perspective of the concept transformation will be introduced, and implication of the theory and potential research directions for Christian academia will be finally presented in this paper.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어온지 120년이 되어간다. 그동안 한국교회가 크게 부흥하였고 기독교교육에 대한 관심도 많아졌다. 많은 기독교교육전문가, 학자들이 있고, 다양한 교재, 시설들이 개발되고 있다. 그러한 과정에 복음주의 신학의 관점에서 기독교교육을 연구하는 학자들이 같이 모여 연구할 필요성을 느끼고 학회를 설립하게 되었다.
