Abstract

The purpose of this study was to design, implement and evaluate an Experiential Leadership Training Program for Continuing Education Women Students.

The study was conducted at a large urban university. The participants were continuing education women students who elected to take a three credit course given in the Spring Session of 1981 academic year. The course met once a week; each session was three and a half hours for seven weeks. Twenty-three Continuing Education Women Students, one facilitator, and one female independent observer participated in the program.

Data collection techniques used in this study were: (a) Pretesting and posttesting participants before and after the leadership training program, using the Leader Effectiveness Adaptabtlity Description (LEAD) Inventory; (b) Clinical Notes from Independent Observer, which were used to provide feedback on the procedures of the study during the developing stages of the program; (c) Group Reaction Forms which were used to provide any feedback from participants in relation to the elements and processes of each workshop; and (d) Personal Journal entries from each workshop which included information pertaining to each individual's thoughts and reflections as they related to Satisfaction of Training and Personal Change development.

The author used the following to analyze the data: Crosstabulation, Frequency Distribution, Gain Scores for the Leader Effectiveness Adaptability Description (LEAD) Inventory, and Content Analysis for Clinical Notes, Group Reaction Form, and Personal Journal. The study can be
replicated with minor design and implementation revisions.
