This research note advances prior studies by thoroughly examining transformative learning in overseas students. Employing an embedded mixed-method approach that incorporates pilot interviews and graphic elicitation based on King's (2009) Learning Activities Survey, we examined 339 transformed respondents and 8 graphic elicitation interviewees. The results highlight the transformative power of experiences outside the classroom, revealing that travel has a more significant impact on students' transformation than academic learning upon their return to their home country. Moreover, our findings indicate that travel frequency and reflection significantly contribute to students' transformation, while factors such as travel companion, pre-language level, length of stay, and time elapsed since return showed no significant impacts on transformation through travel. These insights offer valuable guidance for practitioners, encouraging the integration of travel as a vehicle for transformative learning in educational programmes and products.

转型通行证：通过旅行经历评估海外学生的转型学习

本研究报告通过彻底考察海外学生的变革性学习，推进了先前的研究。我们采用基于 King（2009）学习活动调查的嵌入式混合方法，结合了试点访谈和图形启发，调查了 339 名转变的受访者和 8 名图形启发受访者。结果强调了课堂外经历的变革力量，表明旅行对学生回国后的转变比学术学习有更显着的影响。此外，我们的研究结果表明，旅行频率和反思对学生的转变有显着影响，而旅行同伴、前语言水平、停留时间和返回后经过的时间等因素对旅行转变没有显着影响。这些见解为从业者提供了宝贵的指导，鼓励将旅行作为教育项目和产品中变革性学习的工具。
