“…Disagreements were resolved using either a “majority rule” approach or a compromise was reached between dissenters based on the strength of the argument supporting their viewpoint. This collaboratively iterative process, although tedious at times, helped establish intercoder agreement (which Campbell et al, 2013 refer to as a type of “soft inter-coder reliability”). Then, after this process was complete, all the codes were again reviewed by the research team to ensure accurate placement of each transcript into its substantive category.…”

“…Cultural knowledge includes learning about the attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors of cultural groups. Cultural skills focus on communication skills and training learners to be aware of certain cross-cutting cultural issues (Benavente, 2004;Betancourt, 2003;Pope & Reynolds, 1997;Sue et al, 1992;Wear, 2003). As discussed by Dunaway et al (2012), cultural knowledge, cultural skills, and cultural awareness are essential backbones for developing and sustaining cultural competence, and cultural competence is and has been a dynamic process that occurs throughout one's lifetime.…”

As part of its Guiding Principles for Evaluators, the American Evaluation Association (AEA) requires that evaluators develop cultural competencies. Using a successive-independent-samples design, the researchers sought to compare perceptions of cultural competence across a duration of 10 years. Qualitative data were collected via online surveying, which included 168 program evaluators in 2009 and 110 program evaluators in 2019. Content analysis was utilized, and content categories were identified and quantified for both data collections. The data reflect that, from 2009 to 2019, there has been an increased recognition of what cultural competence entails and a closer alignment between what the Guiding Principles for Evaluators promotes and what evaluators demonstrate. However, the data also indicate that perhaps preferences have evolved past the current cultural competence paradigm as well as the term “cultural competence” itself. These findings and implications are discussed in further detail.

Multiculturism is rapidly growing. It affects all aspects of society, including healthcare. A culturally competent healthcare system has a critical impact on meeting the needs of the diverse population that it serves. The national Culturally and Linguistic Approach Services (CLAS) standards have been developed and implemented as a tool to improve the quality of care, potentially transforming how we address disparities in healthcare.

“…Evaluation has historically been based upon Eurocentric perspectives and assumptions, which have limited applicability to racially and culturally diverse populations (Alkon, Tschann, Ruane, Wolff, & Hittner, 2001; Sue, Bingham, Porche-Burke, & Vasquez, 1999). This Eurocentric approach is characterized by the use of an etic perspective, which is a broad generic cultural awareness that is often too theoretical and abstract for use in real-world settings (Benavente, 2004; Dumas, Rollock, Prinz, Hops, & Blechman, 1999).…”

No self-report measure of cultural competence currently exists in program evaluation. Adapting items from cultural competence measures in fields such as counseling and nursing, the researchers developed the Cultural Competence of Program Evaluators (CCPE) self-report scale. The goals of this study were to validate the CCPE and to assess differences in level of cultural competence among program evaluators based on various demographic variables. The sample consisted of 174 evaluators. Principal components analyses revealed three factors of the CCPE: cultural knowledge, cultural skills, and cultural awareness. The overall alpha of the CCPE was .88, and convergent validity was established via significant positive correlations between the CCPE and the Multicultural Counseling Inventory (MCI). Additionally, individuals who had received cultural competence training scored significantly higher on the CCPE, and receipt of cultural competence training was a significant predictor of scores on the CCPE.
