Potential Abstract:
This research article examines the impact of cognitive biases on multicultural scoring practices in educational assessment. It delves into the complexities of how various forms of bias, such as stereotype threat, implicit bias, and cultural mismatch, can influence the evaluation of students from diverse backgrounds. Drawing upon postmodern theories of knowledge construction and cultural relativism, this study seeks to shed light on the nuanced nature of scoring practices in a multicultural context. By critically analyzing the interplay between cognitive biases and scoring mechanisms, this research aims to provide insights into how educators and policymakers can mitigate bias in assessment processes and promote more equitable outcomes for all students. Through a qualitative analysis of scoring rubrics and interviews with educators, this study aims to uncover the underlying assumptions and value judgments that inform scoring practices in a multicultural setting. The findings from this research have the potential to inform the development of more culturally responsive assessment tools and practices, as well as contribute to broader discussions on the intersection of cognition, culture, and educational equity.
