Diversity-competent teaching

This form can be used to inform you about the correct way to address students in your courses; ideally, you should refer to the form at the beginning of your course and thus signal your openness to the topic. The form was created by the Diversity Coordination Centre of the Equal Opportunities Office:

The two teaching research projects "GenderING: Gender Studies in Engineering" and "GenderING Automated Driving" offer suggestions for the engineering sciences. Gender and diversity are underestimated aspects of success in engineering development activities. In its handout, the project shows how gender studies can be integrated into engineering courses that focus on development tasks. It was developed using the course "Introduction to Car Body Development" (Institute of Design Engineering) as an example. In a follow-up project, it was transferred to the course "Automated Driving".

The publication "Schule lehrt/lernt Vielfalt. Vol. 2" contains material overviews for subject teaching, including for the STEM subjects. These contain teaching modules and can therefore make teacher training in the STEM subjects more open to diversity. As the materials can raise general awareness and provide suggestions for your own university teaching, it is worth a look for all STEM lecturers. The publication was produced by the Gender and Diversity Studies Coordination Centre in cooperation with the Waldschlösschen Academy http://gender.rz.tu-bs.de/wp-content/uploads/AWS_MAT22_2020_Schule_lehrt_lernt_Vielfalt_Bd2_2.pdf

The Competence Centre for University Didactics in Lower Saxony (kh:n) regularly offers workshops on this topic, including "Diversity skills in higher education" and "Identity lottery: reflecting on diversity through play".

The Gender Curricula website offers suggestions for the integration of gender studies content into the curricula for (almost) every subject. These 54 regularly updated suggestions have been developed by the NRW Women's and Gender Studies Network: www.gender-curricula.com

This checklist can be used to reflect on your own teaching practice in schools and universities, while at the same time making it clear which paths lead to gender-sensitive and diversity-sensitive teaching. It was made available by Dr Bernadette Spieler of the Zurich University of Teacher Education in the Explore-Coding forum. www.explore-coding.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Checkliste_BSpieler.pdf

The website offers materials that support teaching in 'everyday business'. For the fields of computer science, mechanical engineering/process engineering and mathematics, you will find specific suggestions for integrating gender-equitable content into teaching without much effort. The areas of subject-history and subject-culture, product development and customer orientation as well as technology assessment also provide starting points for topics that are relevant in various disciplines. In addition to these specific suggestions, you will also find arguments, definitions, socio-political background information and a collection of gender toolboxes on the website. The handout can also be downloaded in whole or in part as a PDF file. The handout was compiled by the Gender and Women's Research Centre of the Hessian Universities (gFFZ): www.gffz.de/gender-in-die-lehre-der-mint-faecher/willkommen

In this extensive toolbox, you will find introductory information, practical tips for your teaching and suggestions for further reading. The "Subject-specific approaches" section contains tips for STEM subjects, but if you look beyond this, you will also find many suggestions for your own teaching. The Gender Toolbox is a project of the Freie Universität Berlin:
www.genderdiversitylehre.fu-berlin.de/toolbox/inhalte/fach_zugaenge/index.html

This self-organised network provides a platform for the exchange of information and the content-related and strategic cooperation of all those who wish to exchange ideas on gender and diversity in teaching. There are usually two network meetings per year: http://netzwerk-gender-diversity-lehre.de/

Position of the bukof (Federal Conference of Women's and Equal Opportunities Officers at Universities):
"University teaching plays an outstanding role in achieving gender equality". Why this is the case is explained in the chapter "Gender knowledge with impact" on p. 20f:
