Abstract:
Studies on teacher preparation for managing bias has established and created a domain within the global
educational research enterprise. What is implicit is how researches on managing bias may be used to
improve teacher development. Research on managing bias in teacher preparation has recognized a place
for itself within the international educational research initiative. What is not so clear is how studies of
teacher thinking may be used in improving the quality of teacher development programmes. ‘The notion
of managing bias implies employing strategies that foster inclusivity and multicultural education. This
chapter focuses on five areas of the importance on managing bias in teacher preparation. I endeavour
to explore the following: the concept bias, bias in teacher preparation, creating an anti-bias learning
environment, preparing teachers for multicultural classes, and citizenship education and anti-bias in
teacher preparation.
