Teachers' Racial Biases1 Have Different Effects for High Versus2 Low Performers 平等对待每一个学生

The ways teachers view their students can influence how teachers teach. Which affects how and what students learn. Now a study finds that a teacher’s racial biases come into play in different ways for high-achieving kids versus low-performing ones.

教师对待学生的方式会影响教师的教学方法,而教学方法又会影响学生们的学习方法以及学习内容。现在,一项研究表明,教师的种族偏见对于学习优秀的学生和表现不佳的学生会产生不同的影响。

“There are actually students who are experiencing different perceptions—and those different perceptions play into very specific stereotypes3 and ideas about capabilities4.”

“学生们面临着不同太多——而这些态度会使学生形成对能力刻板的观念和看法。”

Sociologist5 Yasmiyn Irizarry of the University of Texas at Austin. She published her findings in the journal Social Science Research.

Yasmiyn Irizarry是来自德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的社会科学家。她将自己的研究结果发表在《社会科学研究》杂志上。

Irizarry used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study collected by the National Center for Education Statistics. She compared the test scores of more than 10,000 first graders to how teachers ranked their students in comparison to all other first graders.

Irizarry采用的是国家教育数据中心收集到的早期儿童纵向比较研究得到的数据。她比较了1万多位排名靠前的学生们的测试分数,以及在与其他同样优秀学生向比较之下,教师是如何评价的。

Teachers made accurate ratings of average students, regardless of race. But when considering students of color, teachers rated low-performing Black, Asian and Latino students more positively6 than they did their low-performing white students. And teachers ranked high-performing minority students lower than white students at the same level. Interestingly, the race of the teacher was not a factor in the skewed evaluations7 based on the race of the students.

无论学生的种族是什么,教师对平均水平的学生做出了客观准确的评价,但是考虑到学生的种族,相对于成绩不太好的白人学生,教师们给予了表现不太好的黑人、亚裔以及拉丁学生们更加积极的评价。但是教师对于少数成绩较好的学生的评价要低于同等水平的白人学生。有趣的是,这种教师的种族偏见并不是在基于种族区分学生时出现偏颇的因素之一。

On both ends of the spectrum8, the teachers’ predispositions could have detrimental9 effects on students. Either by insufficiently10 challenging gifted kids or not fully11 recognizing the needs of struggling young students.

在调查数据的两个极端情况下,教师的种族偏见会对学会产生不利的影响。不是通过对有天分的学生做出发挥失常之类的评价,就是没有充分认识到遇到困难的年轻学生的需求。
