- Definition(s)
- A type of novel where the protagonist is initiated into adulthood through knowledge, experience, or both, often by a process of disillusionment. Understanding comes after the dropping of preconceptions, a destruction of a false sense of security, or in some way the loss of innocence. Some of the shifts that take place are these:
* ignorance to knowledge
* innocence to experience
* false view of world to correct view
* idealism to realism
* immature responses to mature responses
Examples:
* Jane Austen Northanger Abbey
* Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
* Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage VirtualSalt - Robert Harris

- Često su kritičari pokušavali da razgraniče obrazovni roman od srodnih žanrova razvojnog i vaspitnog romana. Začetak toga nalazi se već u knjizi Melite Gerhard Nemački obrazovni roman do Geteovog Vilhelma Majstera, objavljenoj 1926. "Razvojni roman" ovde je shvaćen kao opštija kategorija, u koju spadaju sva ona dela "koja za predmet imaju sukob pojedinca sa njegovim svetom, njegovo postepeno sazrevanje i urastanje u svet, kakvi god bili preduslov i cilj tog puta" (str. 1). "Obrazovni roman" nasuprot tome Melita Gerhard označava kao istorijsku specifikaciju, podvrstu "razvojnog romana", koju treba pripisati Geteovoj i post-geteovskoj epohi.
