Multiple factors mediate student motivation to transfer newly acquired leadership skills to their work environment. Kirwan and Birchall (2006) posited personal capacity for learning transfer (choice) is influenced by faculty, feedback or coaching, pedagogy or teaching methodology such as facilitation, peer support in the learning environment, organizational
climate, and supervisor and peer support at work. AMSC intentionally uses the facilitation method to create a student-centric learning environment where coaching and feedback are leveraged to increase student self-efficacy and promote learning transfer.Other factors such as organizational and peer support are currently outside the scope of AMSC’s curriculum.However, they are important mediating factors thataffect the development of an individual’s understanding
of and capacity to exercise choice in learning transferthat ultimately shapes the work environment (see Figure 1).
