The purpose of this study was to determine if the Institutional Assessment Rubric on Comprehensive Internationalization in Higher Education could be developed and validated following Gehlbach and Brinkworth’s recommended steps for rubric development and validation. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, 13 research participants evaluated and scored rubric cell descriptors over three survey rounds resulting in a rubric with a scale-level content validity index score ( S-CVI/Ave) of 0.920, well above the 0.80 acceptable minimum score. This mixed-methods rubric validation research study explains the process and results of a rubric developed for institutions interested in the comprehensive internationalization of their campuses and provides a scale to (a) conduct a baseline assessment; (b) develop a plan, establish goals, and align resources; and (c) track progress toward those goals over time.

This chapter discusses three ongoing issues related to the evaluation of qualitative research. First, the chapter considers whether a set of evaluation criteria is either determinative or changeable. Due to the evolving nature of qualitative research, it is likely that the way in which qualitative research is evaluated can change—not all at once, but gradually. Second, qualitative research has been criticized by newly resurrected positivists whose definitions of scientific research and evaluation criteria are narrow. “Politics of evidence” and a recent big-tent evaluation strategy are examined. Last, this chapter analyzes how validity criteria of qualitative research are incorporated into the evaluation of mixed methods research. The elements of qualitative research seem to be fairly represented but are largely treated as trivial. A criterion, the fit of research questions to design, is identified as distinctive in the review guide of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research.
