Assessing Intercultural Development Pre- and Post Education Abroad
Background:
There is a need to identify objective measures for growth in the development of intercultural competence for students who engage in education abroad programs of study. The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI) identifies the participant's orientation on the Intercultural Development Continuum™ (IDC).
Method:
Students completed the IDI 4 weeks prior to departure and 8 weeks upon completion of an education abroad program. Students were debriefed by an IDI-qualified administrator.
Results:
Group results suggest that students perceived they were further along in the IDC than their actual developmental orientation score revealed.
Conclusion:
The IDI has promise as a way to measure intercultural development. The IDI enhances preparation of students for participation in an education abroad program. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(12):747-750.].

Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...
