“…Numerous tools purport to accomplish this task. Examples include: The Intercultural Development Inventory (Hammer, 2012), which measures participants along a continuum of five mindsets related to their approach to cultural differences (denial, polarization, minimization, acceptance, and adaptation see Bennett, 1986); the Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), which includes among its constructs measurements of sociocultural openness and global openness (Wandschneider et al, 2015); and CQ, or Cultural Intelligence, which measures someone's "capability to accurately interpret unfamiliar verbal and non-verbal cues in different cultural situations" (Elenkov and Pimentel, 2008: 296) based on four categories (metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral).…”

What does it mean to teach intercultural competence? Do we need to travel to “other” places? In what way does content need to reflect the traditions of “other” cultures? How can popular musics inform our teaching of these skills? Drawing on the guidelines in the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence VALUE Rubric, I argue heavy metal music can serve as a model for using music to increase students’ intercultural knowledge, competency, and awareness, as well as their ability to critically reflect on issues in their own society, including gender, race, and class. I provide background on the genre and explore why it serves as a useful tool for intercultural learning conversations. In making direct connections between the measures in the VALUE rubric and class activities and concepts, this approach can model how others may incorporate intercultural learning and competencies into a wide range of courses.

“…This is where assessment plays an important role. While students are credited with accomplishing major and minor requirements, the more advantageous rewards of SA include the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes around internationalization (Wandschneider et al, 2015).…”

“…Much research analyzes development and experience at the cohort level, but assessing individual learners is equally important (Wandschneider et al, 2015). These researchers highlight the importance of understanding who learners are before an experience in order to both evaluate changes over time effectively and tailor curriculum to learner needs.…”

Success in diverse educational and work environments requires intercultural competence, positive attitudes towards difference, and willingness to interact across cultures. Consequently, study abroad participation has increased as universities aim to internationalize; yet, we lack clear evidence of study abroad providing students with skills and attitudes the programs intend to develop. This case study (n=11) documents the implementation of intercultural learning activities throughout a semester long course and a 9-day trip to Vietnam. Researchers anticipated positive development in critical thinking, openness, and environmental concern measured by the Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory. Overall the average group scores did not increase; however, in a more detailed analysis interesting patterns emerged within the data in regard to unintended learning outcomes, impact of individual differences in identity, and preparedness for learning. The data suggest potential curriculum changes and additional resources to support student needs.

“…The main goals of internationalization of higher education are to connect the educational system across the world and to improve the students' skills, reading, teaching and learning. In this generation, internationalization of higher education is not only a mobility and understanding of each student but also developing a future leader [4].…”

Universities around the world have been pressured to cope with the external environments because of the new key player in the educational system-the globalization. In the Philippines, the government has recognized the need for the internationalization of the educational system. This has paved the way to Commission of Higher Education to give support to significant researches on this innovative change considering the number of HEIs operating in the country. Inline with this persistency of the country's educational system to globalized its operation, this study determined the extent of readiness of two public higher education institutions in Southern Philippines on the internationalization of educational system in the Philippines in terms of: a.) Mission, Goals and Plans of the University; b) Structures and Staff; c) Budget and Implementation; d) International Dimension on Research Activity; e) Support System; f) Promotion of International Affiliation; g) Internationalization of the University Curriculum; and h) Joint Programs withExternal Organizations. Using descriptive-survey research design, it was found out that the HEIs are slowly building structure and connections to bring an international standard of education to diverse people.
