Jaiswal, A., Jin, L. & Acheson, K. (2024). Evaluation of STEM Program on Student Intercultural Development: Do Intercultural Interventions Work?

Developing an interculturally competent STEM workforce is the need of time. Research has demonstrated that STEM students find it challenging to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. This study used Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) instrument to understand the intercultural learning gains of technology students by administrating the survey in the program’s first year and final year. The data were analyzed using multivariate statistics to assess the intercultural learning gains of the students. The study results indicate that students demonstrated a statistically significant increase in intercultural competence as they progressed from their first year to their final year of college. The study also indicated that having an intercultural mindset and participating in intercultural activities such as study abroad programs or intercultural mentoring can help students internalize intercultural competence and make meaningful gains on the intercultural development continuum. The study also provides recommendations to help students develop interculturally.

Jaiswal, A. (2023). Intercultural Learning in the Healthcare Sector. White Paper

This white paper provides a snapshot of the strategies used by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to impart intercultural competence to healthcare students. The studies discussed in this paper have used the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) as a measure to evaluate the intercultural learning gains for students. The paper is organized under the following three themes: 1) study abroad and intercultural learning in healthcare, 2) home university curriculum integration and intercultural learning in healthcare, and 3) virtual exchange and intercultural learning in healthcare. The healthcare sectors primarily discussed in this paper are nursing, pharmacy, speech and audiology, and occupational/physical therapy. The studies highlight the importance of structured interventions such as involving students in reflective practices and developing programs allowing students to experience other cultures through virtual exchange or in-person, which would allow students to develop intercultural competence.

This white paper presents a synopsis of several decades of evidence for the validity of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). The sources of this evidence include peerreviewed scholarly articles and statistical analyses published by external parties. The original validation of the IDI instrument was published by Hammer and colleagues [1] in the International Journal of Intercultural Relations, a high-status peer-reviewed journal in the intercultural field. This study described and discussed both the content and construct validity of the IDI.
