Title:
Stereotyping Students and Students Stereotyping
Description:
A stereotype, either positive or negative, is an erroneous generalization of a social group. It is a preconceived idea that attributes certain characteristics to all members of a social group; while at the same time, does not take into account of individual differences. In this session, we will discuss the two forms and two sources of stereotype, explore the impacts of stereotypes on a student and demonstrate how an instructor can intervene and help students to nurture their friendship.
