American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) 2023 Conference (4th, Lexington, KY, Oct 3-6, 2023)
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the construct of a profound moment. Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interpretive phenomenological approach. Interviews were transcribed, coded, analyzed, and considered in the analysis. Four themes were identified from the analysis: accepting what is, change of life axis, human connecting, and a crystallizing process. Participants expressed a singular moment that changed their lives and became a referential point for life choices and actions as they developed profound learner practices.
