This study focused on first-year international students engaging in support sessions at a private business college in Denmark. The study aimed to examine how an instructional framework might aid and enhance student performance. The support session objective focused on two areas: to comprehend and apply key concepts from module-specific themes and to develop research skills. The study sessions were implemented across two courses focused on Management and Marketing, and while different, both courses covered overlapping content, including PowerPoint presentations and individual reports/essays that utilized the same theories and models. This study examined the effects of the CARE² Model, a comprehensive framework that integrates principles from culturally responsive pedagogy, self-regulated learning, and instructional design. The eight constructs are Culture, Collaboration, Agency, Agility, Relevance, Repetition, Engagement, and Evaluation. The CARE² Model was used to explore the relevance of its eight factors via control and treatment groups. This study uses a triangulation mixed-methods research design, collecting and combining qualitative and quantitative data to illustrate the experiences and performance of international students. Limitations include challenges in asynchronous settings, as the module was tested in an entirely in-person environment. Further research is needed to explore the model’s applicability across different educational contexts. The findings illustrate practical strategies to support future instructors, trainers, or presenters in integrating and applying the CARE² Model across various learning contexts, learners, and experiences.
