Therefore, not all materials which contain negative biaseshave been eliminatedfrom this bibliography. Teachersare urged, however,to preview all materials to determine their suitability. The followingguidelinesare designed to assist in identifying biases involving culture,religion, sex, age, and physicaland mentalcapacities. For convenience andease of reference, these guidelines have been divided intotwo broad sections which include several categories. I Historical Accuracy and Balancel Concreteness and Inclusiveness 1. (a) Texts shouldidentify the sourceof information wherever statements purport to be factual, in order to minimize edit- oralizing,generalization, vagueness and ambiguity. In the event that original source material is unavailable, students should be made aware that the view presented is an interpret- ation of the facts. (b) Where actual documents areavailable, reference should be made to them with special attention being given to present- ation of different points of view, should these exist. 2. Accounts of a particular event should clearly indicate that they reflect the perceptions, attitudes, language, concerns and setting of the times referred to. 3. The subject matter should be dealt with in a balanced way in order to corer multiple aspects of the event or situation including the contributions of various people or groups and their popular or unpopular positions, different cultural approaches, controversial viewpoints, varying roles and occupations. 4. Subject matter specifically dealing with vocational and occupa- tional roles should provide information about as wide a spectrum of opportunities available in society as is possible, with specific care to avoid the presentation of sex-typed occupational categories. 1 Adapted from the Task Force Report on Textbook Evaluation, Manitoba Department of Education, 1973. vi II Comprehensiveness and Unity Language and Realism 5. In order to reduce the danger of attributing selected characteris- tics of an individual to the total group of which that person is a part, adjectives, or phrases descriptive of the human character should relate to an identifiable person rather than to an identi- fiable group of persons. 6. Where a particular group of persons is described in an account, the information should be presented in a complete and meaningful way rather than in a fragmented or scattered fashion. 7. Pictures and illustrations should be congruent with the coverage allocated to the persons or events discussed, supportedby appropriate captions of the pictures' locations, times and dates, 8. Slanting by way of value laden words or labels should be avoided. 9. Illustrations and written material mustnot perpetuatestereo- types about people based upon race, religion, creed, nationality, ancestry, ethnicity, sex, color, age, culture. 10. Social evils, including prejudice and discrimination,should be examinedratherthanignored. Currentand past events should receive frank and realistic treatment. Matters of broad social concern, whether regarded as negative or positive, should not be omitted or ignored but should be identified and explored. 11. Illustrations in texts should reflect the wide variety of individual differences within all segments of our society. 12. The language and terms used should accurately describe individuals, groups,and situations. They should not reinforce questionable attitudes or assumptions about people. yii GLOSSARY OF TERMS1 Bias: To slantin a particular direction in favour of or against an identifiable group of persons.
