Abstract

Jack Mezirow’s transformative learning theory is one of the most referenced adult education theories. In his theories, transformative learning is the process of effecting change in a frame of reference, using structures of assumption to understand our experiences. Transformative learners move toward a frame of reference with more inclusive self-reflection and more integration of experience. Adult educators should help students become aware and critical of assumptions, their own, and others’. As adult learners, we should be part of transformative learning by being critical with our frames of reference, starting from understanding the world unconsciously in childhood experience, and moving toward a frame of reference with more self-reflection and integration of experience. We should understand the forms, autonomous thinking in transformation theory, and the two domains of learning—instrumental and communicative—as well as their definitions, comparisons, and applications in adult learning. Our experience’s premises, distortions, and situations should be identified and analysed through a transformative lens. Our meaning perspectives are broadened as they are challenged through many deformations and reformations.

Abstract

Leadership is needed in everyone’s organization and one effective type of leadership is servant leadership. In Christian schools, leaders can apply servant leadership which can be a good example and a blessing to the people around them. Leaders’ understanding and implementation of servant leadership were examined in Christian schools, while leaders’ characteristics in managing the organization, in managing stress, and integrity were examined in carrying out their leadership function in schools. A descriptive qualitative research method through semi-structured interviews with school leaders was used. Coding and data triangulation techniques through interview with leaders, interviews with teachers, and questionnaires. This study was conducted on six leaders in four Christian schools in Jakarta and surrounding areas. It was found that leaders understand servant leadership by centering on the Lord Jesus and implement servant leadership by sharing their power, prioritizing others’ development, and loving one another. Organizational management requires the same vision and mission, good relations, the ability to manage, and the coaching of teachers. Stress management requires consistent faith discipline and closeness with God, keeping life balanced and encouraging one another. Leaders’ integrity should be upheld by setting an example of honesty, humility, sacrifice, and a close relationship with God.
