The "father" of transformational learning is Jack Mezirow and his initial work was done with women returning to college and their perspective transformations. The Journal of Transformative Education is a great source of academic articles. There is a rich body of literature on this type adult learning topic and one of my favorite writers on the subject is Sharon Merriam. One of the things upon which most authors agree is that transformational learning typically involves a "disorienting dilemma," critical reflection, and critical discourse. Good luck...
