This has resulted in upsurge escalation of cultural diversity in every country.<br>Immigration expansion, increasing globalization and the growth of minorities have resulted in<br>cultural diversity of students in the nursing education. This, therefore, calls for the need to<br>enhance the teaching strategies of nursing educators to meet the demands of diverse students.<br>This correlational study aims to measure the relationship between the integration of<br>intercultural competence on the use of innovative pedagogical methodology. Also, it aims to<br>measure the significant difference of years of teaching experience on the use of innovative<br>pedagogical methodology. Thirty (30) nurse educators were conveniently sampled from three<br>universities in Trinidad and Tobago. The study adopted and modified Cultural Diversity<br>Questionnaire for Nurse Educators (CDQN) to assess the intercultural competence of nurse<br>educators and a self-constructed questionnaire was used for the pedagogical methodology of<br>nurse educators. The statistical treatment used was Pearson Correlation and ANOVA. The<br>relationship between intercultural competence and the use of innovative pedagogical<br>methodology yielded a moderate significant positive relationship (r=0.387, p=0.008) at a<br>95% confidence interval. In examining the differences between years of teaching experience<br>the use of innovative pedagogical methodology, the study showed a non-significant<br>difference (p=1.35) on equal variance assumed, Therefore, this study concludes that in order<br>to enhance the quality of nursing education, nurse educators should pose intercultural<br>competence in order to provide innovative pedagogical methods that would enhance teaching<br>quality and facilitate cultural diversity in the classrooms. It is therefore critical for continuous<br>professional development for nursing educators to include the development of intercultural<br>competence and the use of innovative pedagogical methodology. Further research should<br>investigate using qualitative research design on the challenges that nurse educators face with<br>the increase of cultural diversity in nursing education.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Abstract Proceedings International Scholars Conference}, author={ANTWI, FISKVIK BOAHEMAA and Osei, Simon Akwasi and Peprah, Williams Kwasi and Antwi, Milton Boaheng and Antwi, Emmanuel}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={193-206} }
