Seven Forms of Bias in Instructional Materials

This document discusses 7 forms of bias that can appear in instructional materials: invisibility, where certain groups are ignored; stereotyping, where groups are unfairly characterized; selectivity, where certain perspectives are included while others are excluded; unreality, where materials present unrealistic or distorted views of groups; fragmentation, where issues related to diversity are presented as separate rather than interconnected; linguistic bias, where language used may unfairly favor some groups over others; and cosmetic bias, where attempts are made to appear unbiased while bias still exists.
