Increasing Students' Intercultural Knowledge and Competence through Internationalization of Ethics Curricula
Track
Research Proposal / Learning Theories and Pedagogy
Abstract
Most students entering the ethics classroom have limited intercultural knowledge and competence (as set out by the AAC&U’s IKC Rubric). As an instructor of ethics, the long-term dispositional growth I am looking to achieve with my students is their progression from a more ethnocentric to a more ethnorelative stance on ethical issues. The question I address is whether or not the incorporation of multicultural components into the ethics curriculum can bring about, for students of ethics, an enhanced awareness of and appreciation for different cultural perspectives on ethical issues, thereby positively impacting their intercultural knowledge and competence.
