ABSTRACT

This chapter deals with a study to show that the fundamental principles of the video interaction guidance (VIG) intervention were generally understood by the participants, who were encouraged to critically reflect on their own interactional behaviours and who experienced perspective change. The findings from the data reiterated that the constructs shaping this work, empowerment, transformative learning, VIG intervention, emphasise collaboration and intersubjectivity. The chapter reports on the findings of the inquiry, examining the nature of the intervention process, the realisation and facilitation of transformative learning, and the level of engagement. A fundamental part of the intervention process was that the participants would identify their own goal for change, which directed the focus of the video recordings and constituted the outcome that would determine if the intervention had been successful. The shared review data is approached with a discourse analytic approach in order to better understand the observation of the ten phases of transformative learning in conversational data.
