Global Horizons: Assessing The Impact Of Study Abroad Programs On Intercultural Competence Development Pre-College Technology Students, Aparajita Jaiswal, Muna Sapkota
Journal of International Engineering Education
Across fields, college and university graduates are increasingly expected to perform effectively in diverse, multi-cultural work environments. Given this reality, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are actively designing strategies to help students develop intercultural skills. Prior research has revealed that deliberately structured study abroad programs are an effective approach to nurturing intercultural competence among graduates. Consciously designed study abroad programs can provide students with opportunities to learn and reflect on their experiences.

Cultural Belonging Impact On Retention Intention Of Non-American International Undergraduate Students In Attendance At U.S.-Based Postsecondary Institutions, April Ray, April Ray
Dissertations, Theses, and Projects
There is a limited understanding regarding how non-American international undergraduate students who have lived outside the U.S. for a majority of their lives construct their educational identities within U.S.-based postsecondary institutions in comparison to international students who have lived in American culture for more than two years. The multifaceted cultural nature of their educational identity within the confines of an Americanized educational learning environment demands further exploration into the hybridity of these student populations.

Avoiding Stereotypes: Utilizing A Flipped Framework Of Hofstede’S Cultural Dimensions For Teacher-Student Intercultural Awareness, Maha Azzazi
Research and Reflection on Learning and Teaching in Higher Education
Cultural differences are increasingly being analyzed in a globalized world to minimize conflict and optimize successful intercultural interactions. Among the most used cultural frameworks is Hofstede's cultural dimensions. This framework has, however, been criticized as stereotyping nations and individuals from different countries instead of raising awareness and minimizing cultural conflicts. The paper will utilize Hofstede's cultural dimensions to discuss the differences and similarities of cultural behavior within these dimensions. Therefore, a framework will be developed to outline differences in cultural behaviors for educators and students, which can be analyzed on a case-by-case basis without intersecting with nationality and country of …

It presents a dissenting view from Omolewa's perspective on historical education, particularly regarding his analogy of history as a rearview mirror and the objectivity of historians. The paper contends that historians must be aware of historical texts' …
