Abstract
Due to the growing learning demands requested of managers in the workplace and to the importance of their role for organizations and society, the need for broadening management education perspectives is suggested. The article reviews Brazilian studies published on management learning, which highlights the importance of reflection and critical reflection in learning processes, albeit the latter, crucial for work, citizenship and moral decision making is still less evident in the fields of management learning and management education. Thus, the purpose of this article is to argue that transformative learning theory, which stimulates critical reflection that favors autonomous thinking and liberates conditioned assumptions about the world, others and oneself, may contribute to management education development, encouraging more collaborative, responsible, and ethical ways to manage organizations.Keywords
