Can we be unbiased in a learning facility? How can we avoid bias?

Answer 1

One cannot be a rational human being and not be biases. It social situations, one can only try to minimize the negative influences of one's bias.

Teacher's, for example will ALWAYS have a bias towards the hardworking, considerate and attentive student. Wouldn't anyone. The better teacher, however will make sincere attempts to disregard this bias, in order to reach those OTHER students, who may need more help and attention.

When it comes to standarized testing, attempts must be made to MINIMIZE the bias of the test writers, who may have had cultural backgrounds different than many of the students.

One can never eliminate the bias. For example, the testing is written by English speaking, well educated, degree-holding professionals. The tests will reflect some of this background, in the sense that they will be written in English, with the assumption that the people TAKING the tests will have, at least, SOME exposure to the subjects being tested.

How can any one set of standardized test NOT reflect the bias against cultures that range from all economic strata, hundreds of ethnic and language backgrounds, taught by a teacher population just as diverse as the student's?

So, no, we can NOT be unbiased, and we can NOT avoid it. We CAN only minimize it's effects.

Your question is a good example of showing YOUR bias. You first as a simple "yes" or "no" question, But you follow up with another that ignores the possibility of a "no" answer. Your question is biased to assume that an educational facility CAN be unbiased, as long as some hypothetical solution can be applied. The second question seeks to find that solution.

I hope that I have helped YOU see the problem by pointing out the bias YOU may not have been aware of.

Answer 2

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Where bias becomes a problem in a learning facility is when the teacher / professor in a position of power uses their position to promote their opinion. Using their position as a leaver to force their bias opinion and influence students grades.

Thus actually committing the offense or crime of Official Misconduct.

Teaching is to be education not indoctrination

Answer 3

Don't act on the bias you already have.

Ask each individual person you teach what they really think, and give their answer some weight.

There is a fundamental corruption in the mental health system and the media that is controlled by it to create a bias to diagnosis and medicate. The lies that back this up are a misuse of science to the point it is biblical sorcery.

Answer 4

It is impossible to be unbiased. My individual life experiences create within me a world viewpoint that colors my perception of the world. The better question, in my estimation, would be can we create an environment where all recognize the existence of personal bias and take that into consideration in our relationships.

Answer 5

The best way to keep bias out is to teach in an informative manner without relying on this fact or that fact to be presented as best case scenario.
Everything should be taught with an open end so that whoever is getting the lesson can draw their own conclusion.

Answer 6

we can if people who are educating are honest in their own biases and don't try and hide them. It's hard to give a truly unbiased opinion, but if we learn from a variety of "biased" sources, then we can make our own educated assumptions.

Answer 7

truthfully, it takes a great number of adulthood and journey to be impartial whilst speaking basketball be attentive to-how. notwithstanding, even the main matured and experienced of all has the tendency to be biased. the subject is as a results of favoritism. everybody has their favorites. and that i'm telling you that even I each so often get slightly biased each now and then. So, to tell you frankly, ninety% of the time i'm impartial, 10% i'm biased.
