Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore and evaluate learning in an undergraduate leadership course in a kinesiology faculty. The research question driving this study was: What do students feel influences learning in this evidence-informed leadership course? We collected and analyzed 12 students’ perspectives on their learning experiences over one semester by conducting focus groups at the end of term. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to interpret and analyze responses. The influences on student learning shared by participants in this research included course design and learning activities, instructor behaviours, peers, project work, and student agency. The course was described as a valuable social learning space. Findings may be applied to improve leadership learning in kinesiology and similar disciplines in higher education.
