Abstract
Both the Equality Unit of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and the Equity Commission of its Faculty of Computer Science (Estudis d’Informàtica, Multimèdia i Telecomunicació) have been working, among other goals, to ensure a gender perspective in teaching. A key element for this has been the definition of a transversal competence (Ethical and global behavior) that includes the gender perspective that should be implemented in all programs. This paper describes the path followed since the appearance of this institutional impulse, its materialization in this competence, and its final linkage to a subset of the courses of the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering. The reasoning, the phases, the established guidelines, as well as the selection of the courses are detailed. Beyond this theoretical design process, its actual implementation in all these courses during the 2022–2023 academic year is also analyzed. The contrasted result of the proposal is that this is a viable process thanks to some already existing facilitating factors and the involvement of the interested groups, especially the faculty. However, despite this involvement, it still needs additional momentum to consolidate its implementation and is not free of contradictions and is not yet mature in all key aspects, including some as relevant as that of competency assessment.
加泰罗尼亚Oberta大学(UOC)的平等股及其计算机科学学院(Estudis d 'Informàtica, multimedia i Telecomunicació)的公平委员会一直在努力确保教学中的性别观点,除其他目标外。其中一个关键因素是横向能力(道德和全球行为)的定义,其中包括应在所有项目中实施的性别观点。本文描述了自这种制度冲动出现以来所遵循的路径,它在这种能力中的具体化,以及它与计算机工程学士和硕士学位课程子集的最终联系。详细阐述了课程的推理、阶段、建立的指导方针以及课程的选择。除了这个理论设计过程之外,还分析了其在2022-2023学年所有课程中的实际实施情况。提案的对比结果是,这是一个可行的过程,这要归功于一些已经存在的促进因素和利益团体的参与,特别是教师。然而,尽管有这种参与,它仍然需要额外的动力来巩固其执行,并且在所有关键方面,包括一些与能力评价同样重要的方面,并非没有矛盾和尚未成熟。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
