- Abstract: This study explores a brief intervention aimed at increasing bias awareness by emphasizing the personal relevance of individuals’ biases in the school context. The tendency to grade student performance differently due to unrelated student characteristics (e.g., migration background, gender) can lead to systematic disadvantages for specific students. Such biases can be compensated for by an awareness of biases. Hence, an intervention was evaluated focusing on changing general bias awareness, as well as awareness of biases related to three specific groups: female, male, and people with a migration background. In a longitudinal study, N = 191 prospective teachers were examined over three measurement points. The findings suggest that the intervention contributed to an increase in immediate bias awareness across all four facets and indicated potential follow-up effects (2 weeks) for the three specific groups. The results imply that short interventions could be effective in enhancing bias awareness and may serve as a valuable component of teacher education to help address biases in teachers’ judgments.
