Removing Bias in Health Education: Skillfully Using AI to Support Inclusive Learning
Pedagogy & Curriculum
Singapore 2025
Breakout session: Humanizing Pedagogy and Engagement Strategies
Description:
As an international educator, I’ve had the privilege of living and working in countries where Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam shape daily life. Experiencing these diverse cultures has deepened my understanding of how religion and cultural values influence students’ perspectives, especially in Health Education units on mental health, substance use, and sexual health. I’ve also learned, sometimes the hard way, how my own cultural assumptions can unintentionally shape my responses.
In this session, I will share practical strategies for reducing bias in the health classroom using AI tools, including a “School Sidekick”, a well-crafted AI assistant aligned to your curriculum and learning standards. You’ll learn how to design prompts and parameters that encourage curiosity, ensure safety, and foster culturally responsive dialogue. Whether navigating sensitive topics or building student confidence to ask difficult questions, you’ll leave with hands-on techniques for integrating AI in a way that enriches learning, provides accurate information, and honors diverse perspectives.
