Abstract

Distance Learning is a dynamic entity in the field of education. It has its own rules and it is a framework for adult education programs. This thesis examines, through the review of the literature, the compatibility of distance education with the use of Mezirow’s transformative learning. Also deals with the conditions for applying his theory to online education. In the meantime is seeking for applied innovative practices of applying this theory to distance learning programs for adults. At a later stage, and taking into account the results of previous research of literature and especially ancient tragedy as a literary work of great value explores the conditions for the application of this theory to the teaching of an ancient tragedy or through it. Literature review has shown that the environment of the distance learning is an ideal case for applying the theory of transformative learning. Specific in adult education programs for successful use in online learning it is sufficient to enrich it with the qualities of adult education. Distance learning provides a framework for thoughtful dialogue and critical thinking. Although a multidimensional process, it is sufficient to follow its basic principles, such as interaction, learner- centered character, trustful relationships and the distinctness of roles. Literacy review has proved that ancient tragedy is the scope of this theory. Five educational teaching scenarios were presented using the theory of transformative learning in the Aeschylus’ Persians tragedy through selected themes. Four of them refer to the teaching of specific issues that arise from this tragedy, while the fifth relates to journalism and more specifically to research and selection of news. This thesis mentions future directions aspects for further research on the negotiated issues.
