Intercultural competencies development for professional collaboration: a systematic literature mapping from 2016 to 2021
(2021-09-20) Guillén Yparrea, Nicia; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; University of Barcelona
Undoubtedly, we live in an increasingly interconnected world, where physical borders have ceased to impede interrelationships and collaborative work of people coming together to solve various global problems. This raises the question: how can we promote effective collaboration among professionals with different cultural references? This article aims to share the evidence analyses published from 2016 to July 2021 about forming intercultural competencies to promote professional collaboration. The method was a systematic mapping of the literature in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, with 325 articles identified from the search strings. The findings show that this collaborative work is relevant in academic studies, and English-speaking countries mainly produce research in this area. The most recurrent context for the research is higher education, and the primary competency present in the inquiries is intercultural communication. This systematic mapping provides a framework for identifying less significant challenges and contexts also, such as assessing learning and the influence these competencies exert on global and multicultural collaborations. The mapping also establishes a database of studies that can support future studies in this line of research.
Intercultural engineering mindsets for sustainable development alliance
(IEEEXplore, 2023-12) Guillén Yparrea, Nicia; Hernández Rodriguez, Felipe; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504
International alliances are essential to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This article explores engineering students' perceptions of their intercultural collaboration skills. The main purpose of this case study was to assess the intercultural awareness of two groups: 40 students with international experience and 40 without, and to examine the relevance of using immersive technologies to enhance intercultural collaboration among higher education students. As a result of the study, it can be observed that positive responses predominate, suggesting that both groups of students consider intercultural collaboration important and value the opportunity to work and interact with people from other cultures. In conclusion, the majority of students recognize the importance of cultural diversity and effective communication, show disposition to share and learn in multicultural collaborative environments, and are willing to participate in intercultural encounters through immersive technologies.
