Design and Validation of a Novel Instrument for Measuring the Impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Efforts on Computing Student Knowledge and Beliefs

Revised

Abstract:

As undergraduate computing departments develop interventions to create more equitable and inclusive environments for students from diverse identities, there exists a need for instruments to measure the impact of these efforts on improving student cultural competence with respect to creating more equitable and inclusive environments. This work presents an instrument to measure the cultural competence of computing students. Initial results indicate that the instrument demonstrates both construct validity and internal consistency. While the instrument is not an intervention, it can supplement them to understand the impact of activities on improving student cultural competence.
