The Impact of Mentoring on Student Leadership Development at Université Chrétienne Bilingue du Congo
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of mentoring process at the Christian Bilingual University of the Congo (UCBC) and see how mentoring impacts current students’ life, alumni, staff, and faculty’s life experiences. Does mentoring help students become successful in their careers, as well as their professional and personal development? The key research question was, “What is the impact of mentoring on student leadership development at UCBC?” A qualitative methodology with a phenomenological case design allowed for interviewing four mixed focus groups of current students as well as two groups of alumni. Additional one-on-one interviews were held with three faculty members as well as the primary administrator of UCBC. Based on our key research question, responses were transcribed, coded, and analyzed resulting in three themes which corresponded with subthemes. The first main theme is Teaching for Holistic Transformation with two subthemes: Modeling Positive Character Traits, and Servant Leadership and Accountability. The second theme is Fostering and Encouraging Students’ Growth with two subthemes: Strengthening the Mentoring Relationship, and Mentoring Ownership and Students’ Support. The third theme is Obstacles in Establishing Mentoring Relationship with two subthemes: Cultural Obstacles, and Academic Obstacles. This study will help UCBC to identify the next steps to help students to act responsibly, and confidently, and will help teachers to transmit a holistic character to their students
