Seven Forms of Bias in Instructional Materials
Curriculum may perpetuate bias by
presenting only one interpretation of
an issue, situation, or group of people.
Perhaps the most familiar form of bias is the stereotype, which assigns a rigid set of characteristics to all members of a group, at the cost of individual attributes and differences.
Many researchers have noted the tendency of instructional materials to gloss over unpleasant facts and events in our history.
Language can be a powerful conveyor of bias, in both blatant and subtle forms. Linguistic bias can impact race/ethnicity, gender, accents, age, (dis)ability and sexual orientation.

DISCRIMINATION
A tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that usually results in treating some people unfairly
A strong interest in something or ability to do something
(Individual vs Institutional)
