Abstract
Given the subjective nature of qualitative research, for validity, practitioners and researchers need to have a strong sense of their socio-cultural environment. Cultural competence determines the level of awareness one displays of their socio-cultural setting from the personal understanding of their own identity and the environment around them. This session provides tools to address and enhance this knowledge. Though the materials stem from educational research, they are appropriate for use across disciplines for qualitative research.
In this interactive session, participants will be provided tools:
-to measure their own cultural competence
-to learn how to frame their research according to the traditional cultural values of a specific research setting
-to understand how cultural integrity is achieved through various frameworks and principles
-to apply the various frameworks and principles to their own work and various qualitative research methods.
In summary, the participants will leave the workshop with a stronger sense of one’s cultural self, a working knowledge of cultural integrity, and tools to apply to both professionally and in qualitative research.
