This chapter builds from two frameworks (presented in Chapter 1) that action scientists use to explain how individuals’ theories-in-use shape their action strategies, which in turn yields important consequences for their behavioral worlds and learning processes within an organization. I explore how faculty participants at a high-performing MSI expressed Model I and Model II values as “value expressions,” and discuss how common elements in those expressions can have both positive and negative consequences for instructors’ learning about and from cultural differences between themselves and their students.

This chapter discusses dimensions of the master program frameworks associated with Model I and Model II theories-in-use that link Model I and Model II governing values to the actions they inform, as well as implications of those actions for an individual’s learning experiences and effectiveness. This chapter discusses how these Model I value expressions were coded and analyzed as precursors to negative consequences for teacher effectiveness at learning across student–teacher cultural differences. In later sections I discuss how Model II value expressions were analyzed as facilitators of the instructors’ effectiveness at learning across cultural differences.
