Curriculum Analysis Project for the Social Sciences: Integrating Scholarship about Sex and Gender into College Coursework.
Malovich, Natalie J.
Described is a Utah State University project that developed materials to help college faculty teaching introductory courses in psychology, sociology, and microeconomics to incorporate knowledge concerning both the biological and social aspects of sex into their courses. For the purposes of this paper, discussion is limited to the field of psychology. One of the primary goals of the project was to develop a set of content guidelines for each of the target disciplines. For psychology these guidelines took the form of a handbook for instructors containing summaries of current knowledge about sex and gender and key references. A second project goal was to address student-faculty communication patterns, and provide suggestions for eliminating sex bias in actual classroom behavior. A student-faculty interaction handbook discussing potential forms that sex bias in the classroom might take and suggesting tactics for change was developed. The methodology used to develop the content guidelines and the student-faculty interaction handbook included literature reviews, scholarly feedback, classroom observation, and product testing and revision.
