The essential transformation: How Masters students make sense and learn through transformative change
研究蒙特利尔康考迪亚大学人类系统干预硕士项目如何引导学生从实证主义转向建构主义视角，并探讨课程如何促进反思性实践及提供心理支持。
This article considers how the Human Systems Intervention Masters program at Concordia University in Montreal encourages and manages a transformation in the way students think about and act in the social world. The article explains the transformation in terms of a shift from a positivist/rational to a constructivist/narrative view of social phenomena, and how specific elements of the curriculum provoke the shift toward a more reflexive and participative way of working. The article also discusses the disconfirmation and uncertainty that can accompany the transformation, describes the structures and processes used to construct a container that provides psychological safety and emotional support for students, and considers ways in which the program might be improved.
