Walking down the street: addressing the cultural process of stereotyping among preservice and inservice teachers of English learners to close the opportunity gap / Abdelilah Salim Sehlaoui and Taniya Morris. - s.l. : International Journal of Educational Researchers, 2024.
Abstract : The purpose of this study was to explore how the process of stereotyping is used among preservice and inservice teachers. Implicit bias and unconscious stereotyping can perpetuate the status quo and widen the opportunity gap for minoritized students. The study aimed to investigate 1) the prevalence of racial/ethnic stereotypes among inservice and preservice teachers who serve English learners, and 2) how stereotyping of racial/ethnic groups varies between the two groups of teachers or which group of teachers (inservice or preservice) got the most negative responses for all portraits used as stimuli. Data were collected from participants' anonymous written reactions to the 'Walking Down the Street' activity questions. A loglinear statistical analysis and a qualitative content analysis were used to answer the research questions. The common patterns that emerged from the data analyses were summarized and discussed by comparing the two groups of teachers and their process of stereotyping. Practical pedagogical implications and recommendations for further research are shared.
