adults interpret the experiences, values, feelings, and shape their actions and living conditions,
combined with the cultural context in which they are socialized. In this process the adult
re-evaluates the experiences he has gained since his childhood, resulting in a new knowledge
through critical thinking. Transformative learning is applied to adult education where the aim
is to acquire new professional skills based on the needs of learners. The ability to apply
distance learning asynchronously releases it from spatial or temporal constraints, making it
suitable for the implementation of transformative learning. The trainer can take advantage of
the technological applications (video, presentations, etc. asynchronous communication, and e
mail) and authoritative scientific sources of the internet. This activates the trainee in a
heuristic course towards the knowledge that will move his interest and will change his / her
perceptual systems by leading him / herself into self-realization. Therefore, the use of
distance learning in adult education is fully in line with the principles of transforming
learning.
