Diversity-Inclusivity Framework.

It's obvious, but learners bring varying mindsets (e.g., polarization vs. minimization), attitudes, and experiences. To support their intercultural growth requires more than knowledge dissemination (e.g., lectures) and instead more experiential, transformational, constructivist pedagogies/andragogies. This table offers a series of continua to help you reflect on your classroom practices.

Core Cultural Values & Culture Mapping

This activity (also in the HubICL, but quicker to access through this link) is great for helping students learn cultural values concepts such as monochronic vs. polychronic time orientation, individualism vs. collectivism, directness vs. indirectness, etc., and identify their own values, including the fact that they likely already adapt according to context. It's set up for use in study abroad but works just as well as a self-awareness activity for discussion with a partner or in small groups.

HubICL Overwhelming? Tips

When the HubICL was created, there was a debate as to whether it should be a library (collect as much as possible) or a museum (curate the best). It has morphed into both.

  1. To locate activities and assessments: Go to Digital Toolbox in the drop-down menu under Discover at the top..
  2. "Museum": Activities with lesson plans (clickable little book icon on the right of an activity). 
  3. Searching for an activity (left side in Digital Toolbox): You don't have to click every parameter. I usually ignore all except the AAC&U Rubric Outcomes and cost.
  4. Click "Clear filter" -- toward the bottom on the left side menu-- after every search.
  5. For DEI, emotional resilience, and teamwork activities: Click "Advanced Search" (left side menu in Digital Toolbox), then "Theoretical Frameworks" (top middle) and scroll down. 
  6. Contribute! Your reviews, activities, etc., are welcome. Feel free to ask me for a quick walk-through if you want to add anything.

Assessment: Critical Reflection Rubrics

One rubric follows the "what/so what/now what" model of critical reflection (google for info). The other is more general. Important is teaching critical reflection to help students make sense of their experiences.

Assessments: Intercultural Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes Scale (ASKS); Global Learning Scale (GLS), Civic Engagement Scale (CES)

Formative assessments developed using the definitions and descriptions of each component identified on the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) VALUE Rubrics for each construct. Can also be used as indirect measures of student learning by collecting data in retro-pre/post mode. 

Each assessment uses Bloom's Affective Domain in a 6-point Likert type scale to assess student and program outcomes.

See My Plan for Intercultural Growth for a way of using the ASKS survey as a tool for students to determine and direct their own growth in one area.
