Educational Experiences Associated with International Students' Learning, Development, and Positive Perceptions of Campus Climate
Glass, Chris R.
Journal of Studies in International Education, v16 n3 p228-251 Jul 2012
This research project uses the constructive-developmental tradition, in the self-authorship framework of intercultural maturity (King & Baxter Magolda, 2005), to examine the extent to which 12 specific educational experiences may be associated with international undergraduates' learning, development, and perception of campus climate. The study uses multiple regression analysis of a stratified random sample of international student respondents to the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI; n = 437). The results suggest that international students who participate in leadership programs, interact with others from their own culture, and take courses where professors facilitate intergroup dialogue, report more positive perceptions of campus climate. International students who participate in leadership programs, community service, and campus-organized diversity discussions, interact with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, and take courses with materials on race and ethnicity report greater levels of learning and development. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.)
