The learning outcomes from each type of offering are compared usingsimilar assessments, and an evaluation of the differences is made. Besides considering thebenefits of study abroad programs in sustainability education, a reflection on the benefits ofbringing an understanding of the global aspects of sustainability to on-campus course offerings isalso

Examples of these essays include thetypical researched arguments that are usually found in any writing course, as well as technicalreports, which have their own formal requirements.

: “Intercultural competence describes the ability to effectively and adequately in- teract in intercultural situations based on explicit attitudes as well as the special ability to act and reflect.” 1 (own translation)Looking into Deardorff’s work shows that by ‘explicit attitudes’ the author broadly under-stands, inter alia, a positive motivation for acting in intercultural situations, an appreciationfor cultural diversity, a curiosity towards foreign people, and tolerance for ambiguity in newsituations. Moreover, this definition clearly states, that intercultural competence can only beshown in intercultural situations. Consequently, this means, it only can be development incorresponding learning situations. The developed course should serve as

On October 1st, 2016 Botswana formed the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Research,Science and Technology with the explicitly stated goal of transforming Botswana from aresource-based to a knowledge-based economy. The impetus for such an initiative was set forthin Botswana’s Vision 2036. Set forth in 2016, this new “vision” for Botswana was predicated onthe mapping of a transformative agenda that reflected the aspirations and goals of the nation. Forthis vision to come to fruition it was imperative that Botswana create a strategic plan to help withredefining their resource-based economy to that of a knowledge-based

From the pre-courseand post-course paired T-test, there was a significant increase in the GPI scores in theKnowledge, Social Interactions and Identity dimensions. This might mean that the GlobalEngineering course had an influence on students’ awareness of cultures on our global society andone’s own identity and engagement with a diverse group of people. The Knowledge dimensiononce again showed the largest growth, which may reflect the alignment of the learning objectivesof the Global Engineering Course with the knowledge dimension of the GPI scale.

In theUnited States (U.S.) specifically, study abroad has become more popular due to the emphasisplaced on global citizenry by institutions and employers [2]. This demand has more than doubledstudents’ participation in study abroad programs over the past decades [3].

Literature in science education in the developed nations of Australia and USA identifiedteacher’s quality as the most important factor inhibiting science learning in schools that need tobe addressed [21]. In a similar study carried out in Australia, large class sizes, limited resources,inadequate time for preparation, reflection and teachers not collaborating with colleagues wereidentified as limiting factors in achieving quality of teaching science in secondary schools. Thusteachers’ knowledge of subject matter, initial preparedness of teacher, available resources inschools, for example, could impede student’s learning effectiveness and teacher’s teachingeffectiveness [22].

Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects.

Surprisingly, this parameter is rarelyapplied to underrepresented students who are less likely to travel abroad [11, 12]. Most of thePathways Fellows who participated in this project had not traveled abroad before, and 8 out of 10indicated that funding was a critical determinant of whether they would have traveled or not
