Abstract

In this study we measured the effect of COIL on intercultural competence development using a quasi-experimental design. Our sample consisted of 108 undergraduate students from two universities, one located in the Netherlands (NL) and one in the United States (US). Students' self-reported intercultural competence was measured using a pre-post survey which included the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) and Multicultural Personality Questionnaire (MPQ). Qualitative data were collected to complement our quantitative findings and to give a deeper insight into the student experience. The data showed a significantly bigger increase in intercultural competence for the US experimental group compared to the US control group, supporting our hypothesis that COIL develops intercultural competence. This difference was not observed for the NL students, possibly due to the NL control group being exposed to other international input during the course.

协作式在线国际学习(COIL)对高等教育跨文化能力发展的影响。

在本研究中，我们采用准实验设计测量了COIL对跨文化能力发展的影响。我们的样本包括来自两所大学的108名本科生，一所位于荷兰(NL)，另一所位于美国(US)。学生自我报告的跨文化能力是通过包括文化智力量表(CQS)和多元文化人格问卷(MPQ)在内的前后调查来测量的。我们收集了定性数据，以补充我们的定量研究结果，并更深入地了解学生的体验。数据显示，与美国对照组相比，美国实验组的跨文化能力增长明显更大，这支持了我们关于COIL培养跨文化能力的假设。在非母语学生中没有观察到这种差异，可能是由于非母语对照组在课程中接触到其他国际输入。补充资料:在线版本包含补充资料，网址为10.1186/s41239-022-00373-3。
