Institutionalizing transformative learning ‘Modul X’ as an impetus for a new understanding of education

The department of AA of University A initiated a process that structurally anchors transformative learning in the curriculum, starting with the pilot course “Modul X”. This article shows how the collaboratively designed reflection format for personality and competence development led to curricular integration and provided impetus for a new teaching culture. The focus is not on the course itself, but on the resulting institutional change toward an educational practice that understands personal development, values and responsibility as integral components of academic education and enables structural change.
