Abstract
Promoting humility in the classroom can boost learning and engagement and foster inclusivity. This presentation will discuss two types of humility. The first is intellectual humility (IH), recognizing one's intellectual shortcomings. It entails an openness to others' ideas, beliefs, and opinions (Krumrei-Mancuso et al., 2020) and a willingness to change one's views (Krumrei-Mancuso & Rouse, 2016). IH exposes and can fill in knowledge gaps and misconceptions.
The second type of humility, cultural humility (CH), acknowledges that we cannot assume we know about other people's cultural backgrounds. It involves both introspection and self-assessment (Yeager & Bauer-Wu, 2013), as well as learning about others through a cultural lens and being open to their identities, beliefs, cultures, values, and world views (Hook et al., 2013; Hughes et al., 2020).
The presenter will further explore IH and CH as well as tools to foster them in the classroom.
