Correct Option – (d)
Introduction:
Mitigating bias in the classroom involves active psychological and pedagogical strategies designed to break habitual prejudices and foster an inclusive learning environment.
Information Booster:
· Stereotype Replacement (A-III): This involves recognizing that one is responding to a situation based on a stereotype and consciously replacing that biased thought with a non-stereotypic example or response.
· Counter-stereotypic Imaging (B-II): This strategy involves exposing oneself (or students) to images and examples of individuals from social groups that go against the prevailing stereotypes of that group.
· Individuating (C-IV): This is the process of learning about the specific personal qualities of an individual (like asking students to share things about themselves) so that they are seen as a unique person rather than just a member of a social category.
· Perspective-Taking (D-I): This involves the cognitive effort of trying to see the world through the eyes of someone else, specifically focusing on the first-person perspective of students from marginalized or different backgrounds.
Additional Knowledge:
· The incorrect codes fail because they misalign the cognitive action with the classroom activity. For instance, Perspective-Taking is inherently linked to "first-person" views, not introducing "significant things" (which is individuation).
· Stereotype Replacement is a "planning" or "corrective" action, making it different from the "exposure" action found in Counter-stereotypic Imaging.
