This article examines the relationship between perceptions of climate for learning and students’ level of openness to diversity and challenge (ODC). Using Bronfenbrenner’s process-person-context-time (PPCT) model of student environments as the theoretical framework, the study found that a climate for learning and faculty advocacy for the respect of diverse ideas is positively associated with students’ openness to diversity and challenge. Faculty members who encourage the exploration of different cultures and worldviews help increase students’ ODC.

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between academic and social integration of international (n = 253) and domestic students (n = 50) on campus. The results indicated that international students were more exposed to interaction with peers from different language backgrounds in formal academic contexts, such as classroom activities, peer-group work. However, neither international nor domestic students utilized opportunities in informal contexts to interact with each other. 

This instrument is designed to measure openness, self-awareness, lack of ego, supportive-ness and capacity for self-critique. Questions can be found on page 61 of the attached article. Note that this instrumentwas designed for use in clinical psychology contexts; for the academic advising initiative, the team changed the word "client" to the word "student."  The Purdue study is only using the questions which measure openness.

A free card game, developed by CILMAR staff members, in which participants identify statements indicative of various orientations on the Intercultural Development Continuum, as well as reflect on connections between the orientations and their own life experiences.  It works well as part of an IDI group debriefing, to help explain the model before discussing aggregate group results.  May also be used in situations where you wish to help team leaders recognize & uplift effective intercultural behavior without the cost of administering the IDI instrument.

This is the checklist we used to assess and include andragogical, developmental, experiential, transformational, constructivist, and critically inclusive aspects into intercultural learning activities. 

The Ramping Up - New Activity Checklist Version 2 includes the items from our whiteboard brainstorming session during the workshop.

These are the slides we used in our pre-conference presentation.

This article explores culture beyond country borders.

This book by Benedict Anderson discusses nationalism, detailing that humans of different cultural groups have always contested territorial control through war, migrated for multiple reasons, co-existed, and intermingled. 

This activity challenges participants to recognize and analyze their reactions to a variety of cultural values. 

Within our session, we used this tool as an opportunity to practice assessing and developing intercultural learning tools after completing the New Activity Checklist.

Overview: This lesson plan will challenge participants to recognize and analyze their reactions to a variety of cultural values. In this activity, participants will move to various locations around the room based on their opinions about value statements read by the facilitator.

For this activity, participants refer to the Hofstede Insights website and explore the cultural proclivities of their own cultures as well as compare them with others’ cultures, understanding that these are generalizations. Additionally, participants examine the generalizations presented on the website and reflect on the complex nuances that are excluded from these over-simplified categories.
