Project description
This project aims to gain a better understanding of discriminatory behaviour of teachers in secondary education, so that (well-meant / unconscious) processes that lead up to this behaviour can be tackled. The behaviour of teachers is studied through psychological tests (MC-SJT), observations and interviews with teachers, students and headteachers. Based on this research, a trainingtool is developed to reduce discrimination.
