Abstract:
Leadership development, like other professional areas such as medicine, teaching, and law, requires students to become as adept at practicing leadership as they are at understanding the theory behind it. For example, K-12 teachers have student teaching, medical students have residencies, cadavers, and virtual reality-but where is the learning laboratory for leadership? The intentional emergence (IE) pedagogy provides a framework for instructors and learners that both honors the role of the instructor as a goal/outcome-setter while also embracing the complexities of the leadership development space as a living laboratory and practice field for leadership. Additionally, IE attempts to bring unconscious and default behaviors to the foreground so that critical components of leadership development such as power, privilege, and identities can be seen and included.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
