Engaging, observing, and reflecting: Utilizing the leadership learning framework as an instructional tool.

Abstract

This article highlights data collected using the leadership learning framework as learning content for an undergraduate class and a reflective tool for students to self-identify ways leadership learning occurred. In this research study, 32 undergraduate students self-identified what aspects of the leadership framework were the most salient for their personal leadership learning journey. Although all six aspects of the leadership learning framework were named, this article focuses on the three aspects that five or more respondents identified as most influential in their learning. These aspects include leadership metacognition, leadership observation, and leadership development.
