Assessment, Study Abroad, Education Abroad, Intercultural Development Inventory, Global Perspective InventoryAbstract
This article presents a study based on a semester-long study abroad program in an English-speaking country. Some researchers have called for improved assessment of study abroad programs, while others suggest establishing a minimum standard for every program, including qualitative and quantitative measures. Therefore, if the goal is to assess whether improved intercultural development occurred as a result of students studying abroad, then this study’s results offer support that both the GPI and the IDI can fulfill this role.
