Transformative Learning: The Impact of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Pedagogy on Educational Outcomes

Author(s): Dr. Archana

Abstract:

Transformative learning motivates individuals to evaluate and reflect on their deeply held beliefs and philosophies which leads to profound personal and intellectual growth. In a broader educational context, applying equity, diversity, and inclusion of EDI into instructional practice has been identified as central to supporting a student’s growth. This abstract aims to demonstrate the relationship between transformational learning concepts and EDI principles while highlighting how they can transform education together. Equity works to remove practices that perpetuate discrimination concerning opportunities and access while respecting diversity honours the rich and varied cultures, social identity groups, and orientations of individuals. Inclusion in education involves creating inclusive environments where all learners feel accepted and empowered. This approach improves transformative experiences through dialogue and robust action. The analysis highlights a blend of EDI aspects, including responsive and differentiated teaching in safe collaborative spaces. Teachers employ strategies to address individual student needs, ensuring a safe and effective learning environment.
