Enhancing Students' Cultural Competency in Tertiary Health Education Using Internationalization at Home: A Literature
Background:
Internationalization at home (IaH) is a novel concept that aims to integrate intercultural learning into an academic curriculum to promote global collaborative learning and support cross-cultural engagement without leaving home. However, little is known about the experience and perceptions of tertiary health education students who have engaged in IaH. This literature review examines how intercultural learning via IaH can enhance students' sense and capacity of cultural competency.
Method:
A systematic database search of all published studies between 2001 and 2021 was conducted.
Results:
A total of 113 studies were screened for eligibility, and nine studies were included in the analysis. Three subthemes emerged from the overarching theme of enhancing cultural competence.
Conclusion:
IaH provides an effective and safe learning environment for students to engage in cross-cultural interactions and broaden their multi-cultural views and understanding. [.
