Abstract

Abstract: Leadership is one of the principal goals and desired outcomes from participation for many outdoor education programs. This study examines the effectiveness of a short-term expedition-based outdoor experience on the leadership skill level of program participants. Results demonstrate a significant increase in self-reported leadership skills over time for the treatment group, p < .001, as well as a significant difference in leadership skill levels between the treatment group and the control group, p < .05. It is argued that outdoor education settings offer the types of hands-on and diverse experiential leadership development opportunities that are often lacking in other leadership development realms. Building on current leadership theory, implications for outdoor leadership training programs are discussed and several models of outdoor leadership skill development are presented.

通过三周的体验培养领导力:户外教育有影响吗?
摘要:领导力是许多户外教育项目参与的主要目标和期望结果之一。本研究考察了短期探险户外体验对项目参与者领导技能水平的影响。结果显示,治疗组自我报告的领导技能随着时间的推移显著增加,p < 0.001;治疗组和对照组之间的领导技能水平差异显著,p < 0.05。有人认为,户外教育环境提供了其他领导力发展领域往往缺乏的动手和多样化的经验领导力发展机会。本文以当前的领导力理论为基础,讨论了户外领导力培训项目的意义,并提出了几种户外领导力技能发展的模型。
