Abstract

Stories provoke learning, promote discovery, encourage exploration, fuel re-imagination, and help in subsequent learning. Storytelling is much more than just a strategy that engages or connects students to their learning; it helps evoke emotions and stimulate the intellect. Tools of transformative pedagogy cultivate the development for critical reflection and create a classroom experience that is particularly enriching and potentially, long term. The belief that storytelling is a necessary and beneficial art of our times has sparked a renaissance of transformative learning, which has room in the scholarship for fire-birds and microchips. This chapter explores transformative learning and the power of storytelling.
