Decision support systems This study was carried out to identify transformative learning experiences among international postgraduate students in UTM. This study was conducted to explore and understand how the international postgraduate students experience transformative learning in the classroom contexts.

The results showed that participants can change the structure of meaning (meaning old structure) they are old to the new (revised new meaning structure) through information technology, in-class discussions and physical environment of the classroom. This study provides a deep understanding of the phenomenon of international students abroad. However, due to the limitations of the research, future studies related to this topic need to explore more by upcoming researchers. 2016-10 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/78606/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/78606/1/SuthaSivagnanamMFM2016.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:95193 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Management Faculty of Management
