Location: Mile High Ballroom 4EF

This session presents the results of a longitudinal study finding that on-campus global learning had a greater impact on intercultural competence and peer relationship diversity than education abroad. Participants discuss applications for international educators and intersectional analyses for culture and identity effects amid the pandemic.

Learning Objectives:

Describe and unpack, using structural equation modeling, the stronger effect of on-campus global learning than education abroad on the development of intercultural competence and peer relationship diversity, and consider implications during the pandemic era.
Describe the important roles of culture and identity in analytical methods and education abroad strategies that seek inclusive and equitable evidence-based decision-making.
Delineate strategies and applications to translate findings on the importance of campus-based global learning to participants’ home institutions and contexts.
