African educators who wantto enact CSP should consider observations of their students of paramount importance. Thisemphasis is rooted in cultural (i.e., African) perspectives and aligns with the paradigmaticapproach of CSP, promoting observation as a way of knowing. 11. Reflects on Teaching Practices The ability of teachers to self-reflect on teaching practices is an essential component of the CSPframework [13]. By reflecting on their instructional practices, teachers examine their actionswithin the classroom and the underlying philosophies and beliefs that power their decisions andactions.

The students jointly chose two projects, performednecessary research, and designed prototypes to meet the design needs of their respectivecommunities. This course was not originally conducted as an engineering educationresearch project; thus, this is a retrospective summary. Using a promotional video thatthe USGA students produced about the course and the course reflection paragraph thateach USGA student wrote, we performed a word frequency analysis.

The game is then run a second time under a scenarioin which one country has invaded another country and in response multiple countries haveimposed import tariffs on each other.

The goal should be not just to collectobjective data with validated psychometric instruments such as the IDI, but rather to obtain morenuanced insights into the students’ study abroad experience and processing of their sojournsabroad through qualitative analysis of student reflections. Similarly, Cohen et al [10] argue thatsolely relying on quantitative assessment may not bring to light important nuances of thecomplex experience abroad. Likewise, Streitwieser and Light [11] call for placing emphasis onindividual student perceptions and reflections.

Individuals under authoritative governments oftenregard educators and textbooks as the primary sources of unquestionable knowledge, influencingthe shaping of their personal epistemological beliefs. The same concept applies to the culture inwhich an individual experiences. For example, when considering Youn's study in Korea, theauthor emphasizes the contrast of the cultures between the two countries in individualism-collectivism, power-distance, uncertainty-avoidance, and masculinity-femininity.

AE, where the researcher acts as both participant and researcher,oftentimes gets critiqued for being self-absorbing and mere naval-gazing. To overcome thelimitation of AE, in Collaborative Autoethnography (CAE), a team of researchers workscollectively to collect, analyze, and interpret data to “gain a meaningful understanding ofsociocultural phenomena reflected in their autobiographical data” [11, p. 24].
