Paradigm Shift from Informative Learning To Transformative Learning: A Preliminary Study

In India, the perception towards the use of psychiatric methods to treat stress related problems is not appreciable. People who go for such counseling sessions are looked down upon and are treated as mentally ill by the society. In order to find out a better way of helping people to handle their work pressure, a number of participants and their thoughts were analyzed through a survey questionnaire. It was found that those people who have undergone the transformative learning sessions had a more enthusiastic approach towards their work and contributed efficiently to the overall productivity of their respective organizations. Such people performed better in terms of stress management and personality improvement. As a base of survey, “Art of Living” and Landmark Forum sessions was taken up as they were well established in this area and are also acceptable by the society.
