Mixing Cultures Through Intercultural Methodology (MTM): A Qualitative Study of Andragogical Approaches
Abstract
The knowledge propagated in higher educational environments provide students a shared understanding of ideas from multiple fields of knowledge, thus providing an intellectual foundation necessary for a successful professional career. The praxis of knowledge transmission in andragogical settings has been significant advances and adaptations to the needs of twenty-first century learners. However, there is a dearth of studies regarding the development of student competencies and intra-personal skills across cultural boundaries. This chapter assesses the implementation of a new methodology that promotes intercultural skills for adult students in higher education environments. Specifically, this chapter evaluates how students perceive interculturality at the university level and how they would foster the development of these particular skills given the opportunity. Results show that learner awareness regarding interculturality increases when provided the opportunity, leading to increased self-consciousness and evidencing their contribution to the development of student interculturality skills.
