Teachers' Sense of Self-Efficacy
This questionnaire is derived from the Ohio State Teacher Efficacy Scale (OSTED) and is designed to help gain a better understanding of the kinds of things that create difficulties for teachers in their school activities.
This assessment measures various foundational components of intercultural competence: cultural self-awareness, knowledge of worldview frameworks, empathy, openness, communication, and curiosity.
The Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI) is an assessment used at the Purdue University-West Lafayette campus to measure development of intercultural competence, critical thinking, emotional resilience, and more.
***Students will access the BEVI through their My Study Abroad page after acceptance to their respective programs.
