Bias-aware Teaching, Learning and Assessment, Paperback / softback Book

Bias-aware Teaching, Learning and Assessment Paperback / softback

Edited by Joy Jarvis, Karen Mpamhanga

Part of the Critical Practice in Higher Education series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book offers university teachers informed and practical strategies for raising awareness of bias in teaching, learning and assessment practices.

Conscious and unconscious biases influence judgements, perceptions, decision making and actions, and societal awareness has now turned the spotlight on how higher education (HE) is addressing bias at institutional and individual levels.  The urgency to do so is evidenced through recent studies which reveal the extent of the effects of discrimination and exclusion experienced by individual students, groups of students and members of staff.

It can be difficult to know where to start and how to sustain effective impact to achieve inclusion, equity and equality of opportunity.

This book offers informed and practical strategies for raising awareness of bias in teaching, learning and assessment practices and provides approaches to eliminate, limit and mitigate the negative effects of bias on university students.
