Gender- and diversity-responsive teaching is oriented towards the individual prerequisites of the students. It enables the formation of creative and critical personalities and the development of individual potentials. The approach of gender- and diversity-responsive teaching corresponds to the TU Darmstadt's commitment to more equal opportunities in education and against discrimination based on personal characteristics.
Good teaching is always also gender- and diversity-appropriate teaching. Gender- and diversity-responsive teaching enables improved learning for all students. Both teachers and students benefit from an improvement in the lecture atmosphere.
Equitable teaching in the higher education context includes the ability to accommodate diversity among students and their different experiences and needs and to deal with it constructively. The goal should be to provide the best possible study conditions for all students in a non-discriminatory, open and appreciative environment. This requires, among other things, suitable instruments and methods for the design of diversity-friendly teaching.
