TOWARDS A HOLISTIC EDUCATION VIA TRANSFORMATIVE PEDAGOGY

Abstract: Teaching Modes are three: Transmissive, Transactional and Transformative. We examine a translation from Transmissive to Transformative Pedagogy, a reflection on respective works of Andrew Johnson (Human Being, Professor of Literacy) and of Shri Uday Mehta, Dr. S.R. Pandya. Transformative pedagogy empowers both teachers and learners. It encourages learners to be reflective and critical thinkers who are able to contribute meaningfully as members of local and global communities. It also redefines role of teachers. Teachers become facilitators with the disposition, knowledge, skills and commitment to support students to develop their full potential as peace-builders (Transformative Pedagogy for Peace Building, a guide for Teachers, UNESCO-IICBA, 2007). Keywords: Teaching Modes, Transformative Pedagogy, peace-builders.
