culturally responsive research

a method that acknowledges and values diverse perspectives by incorporating cultural context throughout the research process 

emphasizes equity, inclusion, and collaboration with the communities being studied

goal is to make research more relevant, ethical, and valid across cultures

understand methods available to complete culturally responsive assessment (including dynamic assessment and how to apply it)

dynamic assessment: occurs when you measure a child’s performance, before and after a teaching (meditation) component. You apply if by tests, teach, retest approach. Helps to determine if differences are due to language/culture or a true disorder

criterion referenced testing measures the performance against set criteria or skills, not compared to peers

standardized testing compares the individual’s performance to a norm group (often culturally biased) 

3 principles of the human subjects institutional review board

respect for persons, beneficence, and justice

best way to avoid cultural missteps (why should we do this)

ask sincere questions

helps us know the client more and won’t offend them by assuming information

why do we research ethics and compliance 

ensuring high-quality patient care, upholding the profession's integrity, and maintaining professional autonomy and accountability

apply reciprocity to a travel experience

means mutual exchange and respect when engaging across cultures 

know cultural considerations for interview protocol

consider asking about implicit cultural beliefs and make sure you are interviewing the appropriate family member for that family dynamic 

how is “voluntourism” a problem

it is when you travel to another country to volunteer on a short erm project WITHOUT taking into consideration the local needs or culture, and without engaging the local population in the development or planning of the work. Can harm rather than help —-fails to address sustainability or local empowerment
