- Instructional Materials for Portable Intercultural Modules (PIM): Teaming 1, 2, and 3 (1 hr)
Portable Intercultural Modules (PIM) are small learning units focused on a single element of intercultural competence (one construct from the American Association of Colleges & Universities VALUE rubric for Intercultural Knowledge and Competence). PIM are turnkey solutions that address the needs of instructors who don't see themselves as experts in intercultural learning. They are meant to be embedded within disciplinary course content, and multiple PIM can be integrated systematically throughout a program of study to support students' development of intercultural competence over a longer period of time.
This course presents a helpful orientation to instructors utilizing one or more of the three PIM that focus on communicating effectively within diverse teams. The course provides a general introduction to PIM, explores the theoretical constructs taught in the Teaming PIMs, exemplifies a range of implementation options from more basic to more engaged, and offers suggestions for facilitation.
The PIM courses are listed below:- Portable Intercultural Module (PIM): Teaming 1: Team Communication (2 hrs)
In this PIM, learners are challenged to identify their own and others' culturally-determined communication patterns and preferences and identify strategies for managing different communication styles. - Portable Intercultural Module (PIM): Teaming 2: Self and Other Awareness (2 hrs)
In this PIM, learners are challenged to identify personal agendas and cultural dimensions to uncover underlying assumptions, attitudes, and actions that can lead to team conflict and identify strategies for managing personal responses and helping a team address conflict together.
