Global Kingdom Citizenship: A Model of Holistic Intercultural Competence Development

In this article, we provide Christian higher education administrators and faculty with an emerging conceptual model for the development of global kingdom citizens. Cultivating global kingdom citizens requires intentionality in both the curricular and co-curricular realms of Christian higher education, utilizing a holistic intercultural competence development framework as a heuristic. While some institutions may be focused on developing the intercultural competence (IC) of their constituents, others have rejected that term in favor of a more biblical-sounding term—cultural humility (CH). Still others, following the frameworks of a popular Christian businessperson, have preferred to employ the construct of cultural intelligence (CQ). In comparing the philosophical underpinnings and components of these three widely used intercultural competence frameworks, we posit that the cultivation of global kingdom citizens can best be achieved by combining current models into a holistic model entitled Global Kingdom Citizenship (GKC). We likewise propose that this holistic approach is better aligned with the spiritual objectives of Christian higher education, as it appropriately addresses the development of intercultural knowledge, skills, and attitudes for today’s students.

Model of competency development of professional group leaders (PGL) in higher vocational colleges in Fujian province

This study aims to take Chinese higher vocational colleges professional group leaders as the research subjects to analyze the components of their key competencies, develop the competency model of professional group leaders (PGL), and analyze the main factors influencing the model. It provides a powerful help for improving the scientific level of the construction and management of the teaching staff in higher vocational colleges and filling the gap in the research on the quality and ability of Chinese professional group leaders. A mixed research method is deployed in this study. Data are collected with the help of a self-administrated questionnaire and a semi-structured interview based on grounded theory. Data analysis involves structural equation modeling using AMOS, complemented by qualitative coding in NVivo. It concludes that the competency development model of professional group leaders comprises two main dimensions: explicit competencies and implicit competencies. Explicit competencies include cross-border adaptability (CBA), resource integration ability (RIA), innovation and development practice ability (IDPA), management leadership ability (MLA), and interdisciplinary scientific research ability (ISRA). Implicit competencies include personality attitude (PA), and intrinsic motivation (IM). The study fills a significant gap in the literature by providing a detailed model of competency for professional group leaders in the context of higher vocational education, offering a practical framework for improving the training and management of teaching staff and promoting the development of professional groups effective in vocational colleges.

Competency model development: The backbone of successful stealth assessments

AbstractBackgroundStealth assessment is a learning analytics method, which leverages the collection and analysis of learners' interaction data to make real‐time inferences about their learning. Employed in digital learning environments, stealth assessment helps researchers, educators, and teachers evaluate learners' competencies and customize the learning experience to their specific needs. This adaptability is closely intertwined with theories related to learning, engagement, and motivation. The foundation of stealth assessment rests on evidence‐cantered design (ECD), consisting of four core models: the Competency Model (CM), Evidence Model, Task Model, and Assembly Model.ObjectiveThe first step in designing a stealth assessment entails producing operational definitions of the constructs to be assessed. The CM establishes a framework of latent variables representing the target constructs, as well as their interrelations. When developing the CM, assessment designers must produce clear descriptions of the claims associated with the latent variables and their states, as well as sketch out how the competencies can be measured using assessment tasks. As the designers elaborate on the assessment model, the CM definitions need to be revisited to make sure they work with the scope and constraints of the assessment. Although this is the first step, problems at this stage may result in an assessment that does not meet the intended purpose. The objective of this paper is to elucidate the necessary steps for CM development and to highlight potential challenges in the process, along with strategies for addressing them, particularly for designers without much formal assessment experience.MethodThis paper is a methodological exposition, showcasing five examples of CM development. Specifically, we conducted a qualitative retrospective analysis of the CM development procedure, wherein participants unfamiliar with ECD applied the framework and showcased their work. In a stealth assessment course, four groups of students (novice stealth assessment designers) engaged in developing stealth assessments for challenging‐to‐measure constructs across four distinct projects. During their CM development process, we observed various activities to pinpoint areas of difficulty.ResultsThis paper presents five illustrative examples, including one for assessing physics understanding and four for the development of CMs for four complex competencies: (1) systems thinking, (2) online information credibility evaluation, (3) computational thinking, and (4) collaborative creativity. Each example represents a case in CM development, offering valuable insights.ConclusionThe paper concludes by discussing several guidelines derived from the examples discussed. Emphasizing the importance of dedicating ample time to fine‐tune CMs can significantly enhance the accuracy of assessments related to learners' knowledge and skills. It underscores the significance of qualitative phases in crafting comprehensive stealth assessments, such as CMs, alongside the quantitative statistical modeling and technical aspects of these assessments.

Exploring competency: Corporate framework, learning theories, and a cognitive development model

This review paper delves into the cognitive aspects of corporate learning and competency development, focusing on various theories and models explaining neurocognitive and behavioral psychology. This paper explores “Maslow's hierarchy of needs”, “Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive (ABC) Model of Attitude”, “Expectancy Value Theory”, “NLP Communication Model”, “Social Cognitive Learning Theory”, “Knowles' theory of Andragogy”, “NLP Neurological Levels”, “Theory of Planned Behavior”, "Cognitive Load Theory", "Cognitive Learning Principles Underlying the 5E Model", and "Constructivism Theory". While these theories individually address specific aspects of human behavior, they have limitations in their individual scope when applied to the corporate competency development process. This paper constructs the "Cognitive Competency Development Model (CCDM)", which integrates the examined theories and models, providing a cohesive framework for understanding competency development within organizations. This paper briefly discusses the meaning of competency and a typical competency development framework used by corporates. The CCDM emphasizes the multifaceted nature of competency development. It considers the intricate interplay of individual, social, and environmental factors in shaping competency development. It begins with the mental filtering of learning stimuli by various expectancies, neurological factors, and hierarchies of needs. This filtered information forms a perception and knowledge construct, leading to competency development. Competency may affect attitudes and intentions, resulting in behavioral change and better performance at work. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential of the model to inform the design of more effective learning and development interventions. By understanding how the brain influences learning and development, organizations can improve their training programs and create a culture of continuous learning.

The Development of Intercultural Competence Among International Graduate Students

Intercultural competence (IC) development has been highlighted in academia as an essential educational outcome for all constituents. Over the last few decades, extensive research has been conducted regarding both the components of IC and how it is developed. Yet research is scant on the experiences of international graduate students regarding their intercultural competence development, even though they make up more than half of the international students pursuing degrees at U.S. higher education institutions. Using constructivist qualitative research methods, this study sought to understand and describe the intercultural competence development of international graduate students. Utilizing the personal stories of 14 international graduate students from five faith-based institutions, the findings provide theoretical insights into Deardorff’s model of intercultural competence development as well as the role of faculty inclusivity in cultivating the intercultural competence of international graduate students. This research has practical implications for administrators and faculty at faith-based institutions whose missional values concern the formation of leaders who will impact people and processes throughout the world.

The development of a competency framework for architectural engineering graduates: Perspectives by the construction industry in Indonesia

The discrepancy between competence and real work in engineering graduates can be resolved with cooperation by the construction industry. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate and required architectural engineering competencies with the current demands and conditions of the construction industry. So this study aims to analyze the determinants of competence and test the competency development model for architectural engineering graduates according to the needs of the construction industry. The research sample method is non-probability sampling using purposive sampling. The research sample consisted of 240 practitioners and trainers from 40 construction industry companies. The PLS-SEM technique was used to test the measurement and structural models (3 dimensions, 8 elements, 47 constructs/indicators, and 9 hypotheses). The competence of architecture graduates is determined by the dominant factor, namely Utilities and Building Construction (UBC1 & UBC2, λ = 89.90%), and Building Estimation and Costing (BEC7, λ = 73.30%) is the lowest factor. The ability of the structural model to explain architectural competency measurements is 36.20% in the moderate category. The predictive relevance value (Q²) explains 47.5% to 56.0% of the phenomena predicted in the field and explains the level of strength of the observed value in the structural model. Furthermore, 9 hypotheses from 8 dimensions have a positive and significant effect. The results of this study can be a recommendation for schools in the competency implementation model, and efforts to improve graduates' abilities and skills so that they can be absorbed by the construction industry and reduce unemployment.
