Abstract

This study aims to narrow this theoretical gap and to examine what students from a developing country learned about themselves following a three-week course stay in the rural education system of a developing country in the context of the effects of globalization on the environment. The research study employed the qualitative approach using a case-study method based. This course provided students with an emotional experience and the acquisition of knowledge that combines the senses of vision, smell, and hearing. The course also involved significant practical experience. The combination of acquiring knowledge using emotions, combined with hands-on activities, has made the course a distinctive student experience. The themes that emerged correspond to the model that presents the holistic nature of a transformative learning experience. This entire integrative approach relates to heart-personal experience and motivation, the head concept of globalization, hands behavior.
