Different perspectives have been developed starting from J. Mezirow’s work and several experiences and reflections were born after his work in 1991. Other researchers (Taylor, 2010) tried to translate some of the ideas of Trasformative Learning in educational practices (Hoggan, Simpson, Stuckey, 2009) and they used his works as a background for planning researches in several contexts. The experience described in this paper is developed from the experiences conducted in the Department of Education at the University of Siena where the Trasformative Learning Theory has been used by a group of professors as a back-ground to understand the ways in which a teaching process can change the meaning perspectives of a group of students in an higher education program
