This project involves examining published measures of cultural competence, cultural intelligence, and ethnocentrism for their usability in the undergraduate anthropology classroom. Overall project outcomes include:
Piloting previously published measures of cultural constructs when applied to undergraduate anthropology students
Applying Multidimensional Item Response Theory to determine the factor correlation and true dimensionality of a compiled cultural competence measure
Determine covariates relevant to developing cultural competency, possibly including lived experiences, previous coursework, and internationality.
Utilizing Latent Growth Modeling to evaluate anthropological teaching practices and chart the growth of cultural competence through an undergraduate anthropology course sequence.
Pilot assessment administered to undergraduate anthropology students
