Target group: tutors (research assistants or students with teaching experience) who supervise exercises in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). Participation is free of charge.
Gender-sensitive teaching plays a major role in STEM subjects because learning here is particularly influenced by gender stereotypes. Assumptions about the relationship between aptitude and learning success contribute to gender bias in perceptions of competence by instructors and fellow students.
The workshop will first provide an overview of the mechanisms that hinder women's equal participation in STEM subjects. This will be followed by a presentation of teaching and learning methods that can be used to didactically design exercises in a way that encourages active collaboration and cooperation among all students, thus positively influencing self-perception of professional competence.
