Cultural factors relevant in training situations
The following list of themes with intercultural implications is far from final or exhaustive, but nonetheless can provide orientation for trainers. Rather than associate a particular behaviour or trait with any particular country or ethnic group, trainers should be aware that these dimensions can influence a student’s behaviour or expectations.
- Attitudes towards authority
- Style of communication
- Attitudes towards time
- Group versus individual focus
- Task versus relationship focus
- Cyberculture
- Cultural factors relevant for eLearning & Web-design
