Abstract

This study investigates the impact of transformative learning strategies on student engagement in higher education settings. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 120 undergraduate students across three universities. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant increase in student engagement scores following the implementation of transformative learning activities. Qualitative interviews further highlighted themes of increased motivation, critical reflection, and personal growth. The findings suggest that transformative learning can serve as an effective framework for enhancing student engagement in contemporary educational contexts.
