Studies show people can be consciously committed to egalitarianism, and deliberately work to behave without prejudice, yet still possess hidden negative prejudices or stereotypes. So even though we believe we see and treat people as equals, hidden biases may still influence our perceptions and actions. This activity helps students explore their biases in a safe environment and reflect on how these hidden prejudices affect relationship in and out of the workplace. Main activities include a private online activity, personal reflection, and classroom discussion.

ReplyDeleteI used it in my class, Certified Office Professional program during the quarter in which I was teaching Human Relations. Your web activity was great as I used it along with another one I had given the students. I found that my students freely commented when I posted the discussion on a Forum on Moodle. I noticed increased communication from students who normally don't speak up in class. I had asked the students to then read all students' postings of the Forums and then reply to at least one other student's posting.
ReplyDeleteI plan on implementing this activity in the leadership course I teach in the RN program.
ReplyDeleteI will ask students to only take one bias test online. I also will frame and focus the discussion on combating bias & stereotyping in healthcare environments.
