Details | Globalization, technological advances and COVID-19 are disrupting educational systems everywhere and higher education (HE) institutions need to adapt. Specifically, HE pedagogies that utilize educational technologies for intercultural learning remain very underdeveloped. This project applies a unique interdisciplinary framework to investigate the development of cultural intelligence (CQ) in undergraduates. Combining instructional design (ID) theory and educational technologies in a blended learning and hybrid-type classroom format, the project investigates the use of online learning technologies and traditional methods of experience-based learning to develop the CQ of students at a Japanese university. The key scientific question is to investigate how CQ can be developed at the HE level by using technologically enhanced educational approaches to build an integrative pedagogy for intercultural learning in online, blended and hybrid-type environments. |
