Global Perspective Inventory New Student Report March 9, 7

Introduction Thank you for participating in the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI). The Research Institute for Studies in Education (RISE) at Iowa State University would like to express our appreciation for your support, interest, and participation in the GPI. The GPI assesses a global and holistic view of student learning and development and the importance of the campus environment in fostering holistic student development. The GPI measures how students think; view themselves as people with cultural heritage; and relate to others from other cultures, backgrounds, and values. Your involvement, along with the involvement of other institutions, allows us to not only provide data for institutional improvement, but also continue exploration into interventions and strategies that will inform a national conversation on ways to strengthen global learning. The data in this report allow your campus to make empirically-informed decisions and improve your students' learning; the research emerging from this project informs good practice for the development of a global perspective for students. Along with this report, your institution receives a student dataset that can be used to contribute to understanding how experiences vary within and across groups, analyzing assets and gaps in curricular and co-curricular offerings, confirming or challenging existing beliefs about student experience, making decisions about resources and future areas of work, and enhancing the educational experience of students. Again, we thank you for your participation in this study, and we encourage your future involvement with the GPI. If you have any questions, please contact the RISE office at (55) 94-634 or email (gpi@iastate.edu). Sincerely, Robert D. Reason Professor of Education Iowa State University

6 Global Perspective Inventory Scales

7 GPI Scales The GPI measures global learning across three dimensions: cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. Cognitive Dimension. One's knowledge and understanding of what is true and important to know. From a global perspective taking viewpoint, it includes viewing knowledge and knowing with greater complexity and taking into account multiple cultural perspectives. Reliance on external authorities to have absolute truth gives way to commitment in relativism when making commitments within the context of uncertainty. Knowing Scale. Degree of complexity of one's views of the importance of cultural context in judging what is important to know and value. Knowledge Scale. Degree of understanding and awareness of various cultures and their impact on our global society and level of proficiency in more than one language. Intrapersonal Dimension. Intrapersonal development focuses on one becoming more aware of and integrating one's personal values and self-identity into one's personhood. From a global perspective taking viewpoint, it reflects one's sense of self-direction and purpose in one's life, becoming more self-aware of one's strengths, values, and personal characteristics and sense of self, and viewing one's development in terms of one's self-identity. It incorporates different and often conflicting ideas about who one is living in an increasingly multicultural world. Identity Scale. Level of awareness of one's unique identity and degree of acceptance of one's ethnic, racial, and gender dimensions of one's identity. Affect Scale. Level of respect for and acceptance of cultural perspectives different from one's own and degree of emotional confidence when living in complex situations, which reflects an 'emotional intelligence' that is important in one's processing encounters with other cultures. Interpersonal Dimension. Interpersonal development focuses on one willingness to interact with persons with different social norms and cultural backgrounds, acceptance of others, and being comfortable when relating to others. From a global perspective taking viewpoint, it includes being able to view others differently and relating to others in terms of moving from dependency to independence to interdependence, which is considered the most mature perspective in effectively living in a global society. Social Responsibility Scale. Level of interdependence and social concern for others. Social Interaction Scale. Degree of engagement with others who are different from oneself and degree of cultural sensitivity in living in pluralistic settings. Norms. For the purposes of this report, all national norms are calculated using data collected from the GPI New Student form since 5 (n = 47).

9 The Global Perspective Inventory was originally housed at The Global Perspective Institute, Inc., which was established in 8 to study and promote global holistic human development among college students. The Global Perspective Inventory was hosted by Central College in Pella, IA under the direction of Larry Braskamp until 5 when Iowa State began hosting the GPI.
