Action Learning in a Graduate Online Course
Goertzen, Brent J.; Squire, Brittney
Journal of Leadership Education, v18 n2 p181-192 Apr 2019
Today's organizations often face complex problems that do not have readily identifiable solutions. Leadership educators are called upon to implement innovative pedagogical practices to teach students to address such complex problems. Inspired by action learning principles, this application brief describes a group-oriented assignment in an online graduate course on leadership development. Practitioner and student reflections are offered as well as an analysis of student learning. Recommendations from these experiences offer ways to refine this pedagogical practice.
