Promoting Transformative Learning Among Pre-University Students in Higher Education: A Case Study Approach

Erin Lim & Diana Nyarko, Global College, Heriot-Watt Malaysia and Edinburgh

Formative assessment and transformative learning hold a great deal of promise as inclusive approaches to higher education. We plan to examine the effectiveness of formative assessment in promoting transformative learning among pre-University foundation business students at the global college at Heriot-Watt University, Malaysia (HWUM). Through the use of focus groups, we will explore the benefits of formative assessment for our students and attempt to gauge its impact on promoting transformative learning. We expect that the insights gathered to be valuable for enhancing the educational experience of students in higher education through self-regulated learning.
