It has been observed that some mistakes are made while observing the learning and progress of children. These mistakes may be the result of our biases. Which of the following information should not be recorded as a bias ?

  • A.Samples of the children's work in the portfolio.
  • B.Prior experiences regarding the ability and performance of the children.
  • C.Previous results related to the examination of any one subject and any area thereof.
  • D.Social background of the child.

Answer: A

The information that should not be recorded as a bias is samples of the children's work in the portfolio.

A portfolio holds actual pieces of a child's work collected over time. Such samples are direct evidence of what the child can do, so they are a sound and fair basis for assessing progress, not a source of bias.

The other three are the kinds of information that bias a teacher's judgement. Prior impressions of a child's ability, a past result in one subject or area, and the child's social background can all lead a teacher to expect a certain performance and to see what is expected rather than what the child actually does.
