Expand the Reflective Course Component
Integrate the GPI into Program Assessment
This made it extremely difficult to compare the virtual course with previous versions of the course. While a single assessment tool does not provide a comprehensive evaluation of intercultural competence, it can serve as a way to compare student development (Deardorff, 2009). Still, it is worth noting, based on this study, that the quantitative measurement of development may not reveal actual growth, as students are still changing.
Given the results of this study and the divergence between the quantitative and qualitative results, the GPI should not be considered a definitive measure of growth. Since the study abroad courses are each so different, the standard course evaluations did little to document any change in intercultural competence. Instead, these course evaluations provided a more general overview of the student learning experience and friendliness of the course instructor.
Incorporate a Project-Based Component to the Course
Finally, please deposit all work in Drop Box
Module One (What are the implications of race, identity and intercultural communication on leadership?)
Discussion #1 Who Are You?
To begin developing this understanding and getting to know yourself, please respond to a quote from Earl Babbie's What Is Society. How we respond to Babbie's suggestion will depend on our race, ethnicity, social class, gender, ability, etc. Your job in this first task, your pre-assessment, is to take a good look at who you think you are and who society thinks you are.
For example, if you belonged to the middle or upper class, did you learn that television does not belong in the living room. If you come from a working-class family, it was natural to have a television in the living room.
Discussion #2 Communication Dissonance in an Intercultural Encounter
Discussion #3 And We Stayed, Crash and Why do so many people… Reading The short film “And We Stayed…” is a powerful film that could have been set almost any place
Discussion #1 Video Games or Toys Store Fieldtrip
Another choice for a video game store, since toy stores have been trying to be more gender neutral since they were first created for this purpose, removing the pink and blue aisles. You can just choose to look at how toy stores are trying to be gender inclusive as a more modern step, or look at video games because they tend to be gender oriented, with the best selling games appealing to boys (Madden, Call of Duty, etc.) .
Discussion #2 – Web Movies and Gender Matters
Discussion #3 Persepolis, Women, and the World
In the discussion, describe where in the film you see Foucault's 'power relations' that Allen describes. Download and read “The Role of Economic Diversity in Retaining, Promoting, and Educating Workers” and “Pedaling Poverty through Economic Diversity in Retaining, Promoting, and Educating Workers” and “Pedaling Poverty for Profit: Elements of Oppression in the framework of Ruby Payne”. After reading both articles and visiting Payne's website, you can make an argument for or against Payne's work.
Remember to be thoughtful and analytical in your answers and support your answer with examples from the reading. Can any reading from the Intercultural Reader help you understand the film as well. Discussion #3 Exam An exam gives you an opportunity to go back and look at events, behavior, learning, etc. in his life.
