Assessing Intercultural Competence in HE: Existing Research and Future Directio
Griffith, R. L., Wolfeld, L., Armon, B.K. Rios, J., Liu, O. L. (2016). Assessing InterculturalCompetence in Higher Education: Existing Research and Future Directions. ETS ResearchReport No. RR-16-25. Retrieved 01.10.2019 from:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ets2.12112
Definitions of Intercultural Competence
Compositional model: merely describes the characteristics (knowledge, skills, andattitudes) of Intercultural Competence (ICC)
Co-orientational model: tends to describe the components or process of a successfulintercultural interaction
Developmental model: describes ICC in terms of individual development over time
Adaptational model: combines the developmental components of the aforementionedmodels and present them in an interactional context of adapting to a foreign culture
Causal path model: attempts to integrate the characteristics of compositional models andsituate them in an interaction in which variables influence each other to predict ICC.
Definitions of Intercultural Competence (2)
Models including intercultural traits refer to stable personality traits that drive likelybehavior, and commonly include openness to experience and tolerance for ambiguity.
Models including intercultural attitudes and worldviews refer to constructs involvingthe perception and evaluation of information from outside an individual’s ownculture.
Models including intercultural capabilities refers to anything that a person can do,think, or know that will allow him or her to interact successfully in an interculturalsituation.
Intercultural Competence Assessment
• Two predominant assessment formats are used to measure ICC: surveys and portfolios
• The Inventory of Cross-Cultural Sensitivity (ICCS) of Cushner (1986) is one of the 32surveys listed; ranging in length from 9 to over 160 items; online and/or paper and pencilformat
• Majority of surveys are self-reports with Likert-scale or multiple choice items
• Self-reports based on situational judgment tests (SJT) measure an ability or competencybased on the participant’s choice of response to a hypothetical situation
• Challenges with self-reporting: experience levels and lack of exposure, future-orientedoptimism, respondent faking etc.
Intercultural Competence Assessment (2)
• Portfolios with constructed-response items
• A portfolio assessment is a collection of materials produced either by an individual overtime or scores from various assessments or both
• No standard portfolio assessment exists
• The content, platform (paper versus digital) and scoring method vary across institutionsand contexts
• Clemson University uses a digital portfolio and requires students to provide evidence ofcross-cultural awareness a universal general education requirement
(4) Intercultural Passport in
• An ICC building and assessment tool• A virtual module to be introduced into the 12 Asian FRIENDS HEIs’ elective formal
curriculum• Offers a combination of self-reporting and digital portfolio assessment• Intercultural Passport award’s prerequisites: (1) Completion of the Intercultural
Awareness and Cultural Diversity (IACD) self-paced MOOC; (2) Validation of internationaland/or intercultural prior experiential learning evidenced by relevant student digitalstories
• Intercultural Passport virtual module’s value: 4 ECTS or approx. 100-120 hours of studentlearning
• 1 ECTS equals approx. 25 -30 hours of student learning (both contact/virtual teachinghours and student-centered learning)
