- Abstract
Background: There is a need to identify objective measures for growth in the development of intercultural competence for students who engage in education abroad programs of study. The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI) identifies the participant's orientation on the Intercultural Development Continuum? (IDC). Method: Students completed the IDI 4 weeks prior to departure and 8 weeks upon completion of an education abroad program. Students were debriefed by an IDI-qualified administrator. Results: Group results suggest that students perceived they were further along in the IDC than their actual developmental orientation score revealed. Conclusion: The IDI has promise as a way to measure intercultural development. The IDI enhances preparation of students for participation in an education abroad program.
