Shaping Equal Citizens Through Inclusive Teaching Materials?

• In Event: Inclusion and Accessibility in Educational Assessment SIG (96) Roundtable Session

Abstract

The international-comparative study analyses teaching materials from different European nations and the US in search for stereotypes, stigmatizations, and discrimination, which all constitutes hurdles in educating students for their role as citizen with equal opportunities. The results of the study reveal several discriminating aspects of teaching materials that exclude children because of their gender, their socioeconomic background or because they belong to ethnic or religious minorities.
