Abstract
This study explored the enhancement of Global Leadership Competencies through a Global Virtual Classroom using Transformational Learning Theory within a Global Leadership Development program for 80 university students. Our approach, which employs a mixed-method design involving qualitative analysis based on Mezirow’s (1991) Transformational Learning Theory and grounded theory, was a pilot study. In vivo, codes were extracted to fit each of the ten steps, and the quantitative analysis involved expert classification of interview sentences into Transformational Learning Theory phases, followed by frequency table preparation. Our findings indicate that the Transformational Learning Theory effectively enhances the development of Global Leadership
Competencies in a Global Virtual Classroom. This pilot study provides valuable insights and a new perspective to improve the quality of Global Leadership Competency Development.
