It outlines the implementation of a transformative adult learning programme, including the reengineering initiative “Aware Residents is a Strong Community,” developed using established learning and institutional theories.

Ivano-Frankivs National Technical University of Oil and Gas  \n[morliv@ukr.net](morliv@ukr.net)  \nThe relevance of the study is driven by the need to transform the mentality of human resources of Ukraine to introduce the reform of decentralisation of power and to create capable amalgamated territorial communities. The paper explains the specifics of the implementation of the programmes of transformative adult learning for a targeted change in the mentality of communities. For this purpose, the reengineering programme “Aware Residents is a Strong Community” was developed (using the theories of transformative adult learning, institutional matrices and progressive capitalism) and carried out among 200 local leaders and 800 residents of territories where the Kosmatska and Yabluniv ATCs were to be created, according to the Government’s Perspective Plan. The content of the programme was justified, and the effectiveness of its implementation was proved based on the results of the preproject and follow-up sociological surveys through questioning all categories of adults with a sample size of 400 people selected using the methods of sociological analysis. The research revealed that the transformative adult learning, which involves a duality approach of individual and collective learning and community engagement approach, is an effective tool for introducing targeted changes in the human mentality according to the criteria of the Western institutional matrix. Therefore the findings can be used when implementing educational projects and programmes aimed at the reformation of public administration and the introduction of democratic governance.  \nKeywords: transformative adult learning; mentality; reengineering programme; amalgamated territorial communities; aware residents.  \nIntroduction  \nThe process of large-scale transformation of the local self-government system in Ukraine started in 2014 in accordance with the Concept of Reforming Local Self-Government and Territorial Structure of Power approved by the Government (Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, 2014) . The implementation of the decentralisation project requires radical institutional, structural and managerial changes in the living arrangements of territorial communities, as well as a targeted modification of the mentality of their human resources with a reorientation to the modern worldview values of an intellectualised and globalised economy. Therefore, many international organisations, programmes and national foundations (including the United Nations Development Program, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, the US Agency for International Development, the Eastern Europe Foundation, U-LEAD with Europe, the European Science Foundation, the International Renaissance Foundation, the International Visegrad Fund, Education for Democracy Foundation, etc.) fund educational projects focused on supporting an active, diverse and open civil society that is determined to introduce democratic governance in Ukraine.  \nThe need to change the set of beliefs among the population of the communities determines the relevance of research and evaluation of already existing mindsets of community residents with the view of their further consideration in the process of implementation of systemic reforms. In this regard, a challenging task is to analyse and assess the readiness of human resources of territorial communities for changes related to the democratisation of governance and decentralisation of power, as well as the development and implementation of programmes which provide the necessary transformation of the mentality of the territorial communities through transformative adult learning. This task should be addressed in the context of the integration of Ukraine into t","cbCaiqAl9oECHFL5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqAl9oECHFL5","pdf",484672,"English","# Introduction\n## Rationale for targeted mentality change\n## Transformative adult learning and programme implementation","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To explain how transformative adult learning can create targeted changes in the mentality of communities in Ukraine during decentralisation reforms.\"},{\"question\":\"Which programme was developed and where was it implemented?\",\"answer\":\"The reengineering programme “Aware Residents is a Strong Community” was developed and carried out among local leaders and residents of territories where Kosmatska and Yabluniv ATCs were planned.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the programme’s effectiveness evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"Effectiveness was assessed using preproject and follow-up sociological surveys that questioned adult categories based on a selected sample and sociological analysis methods.\"}]","TARGETED CHANGE IN THE MENTALITY OF COMMUNITIES THROUGH TRANSFORMATIVE ADULT LEARNING | PDF",1792066193,23]
