q3 i? Ethnic minority background students were significantly more often given the easy video than ethnic majority background students in a between-subjects vignette experiment. → Sabine Schlag 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Experimental vignette study with 108 preservice teachers in a between-subjects design with factor ethnicity. Frequencies of easy vs. difficult video choice differed; the article reports 82% chose the easy video for the minority student versus 11% for the majority student, "χ2(df = 1) = 101.32, p < .001".

"A non-parametric test revealed differences in the frequencies, χ2(df = 1) = 101.32, p < .001."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Preservice teachers judged the ethnic minority student more negatively than the ethnic majority student on parental support, achievement, and working behavior
• Student achievement level, not ethnic background, predicted preservice teachers' text-versus-video material choice in Study 2 — reports the opposite
• Simply inserting a name indicating Turkish-origin background produced less favorable judgments of otherwise identical student descriptions — related
• Path analysis showed material choice reasons tracked attributions: text was chosen for perceived high ability and effort, video for low evaluations of both — related
