“…The present study investigated the efficacy of an interdisciplinary curriculum about sexualized violence in educational and clinical institutions (see Retkowski et al, 2019) on the students' self-assessed knowledge (SAK) and declarative knowledge (DK). Changes were investigated in the total outcome measures as well as in three topic-specific subscales: sexualized violence in institutions (Topic A), sexual socialization and sex education (Topic B), and professionalism and ethics (Topic C).…”

“…Due to the special multi-method structure of the curriculum (Retkowski et al, 2019), knowledge is imparted through the use of different teaching methods. The effectiveness of such multi-method teaching is supported at least for other fields of education, e.g., for behavioral changes in health care (for a comprehensive meta-analysis see Hauer, Carney, Chang, & Satterfield, 2012), for business studies (Ongeri, 2017), for political science studies (Lambach, 2017), and for higher education teaching in general (Metz-Göckel, Kamphans, & Scholkmann, 2012;Schneider & Mustafic, 2015).…”

“…The results of the current study support advocates of higher education on sexualized violence. Universities that are looking for effective ways to provide knowledge about sexualized violence can benefit from the introduction of the curriculum "Sexualized Violence in Institutions" (Retkowski et al, 2019), which was evaluated here for the first time.…”

Introduction Sexualized violence is still a rather avoided topic in teaching at German universities, even though a remarkable proportion of the German population experienced child sexual abuse, including many in institutional settings (e.g., schools, clubs of leisure activities). This study examines the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary university curriculum about sexualized violence in educational and clinical institutions. Methods Students participated in seminars about sexualized violence, sexual socialization and education, and professionalism and ethics. In 2017/2018, n = 156 students assessed the curriculum before, immediately after and/or 6 months after participating. The assessment covers knowledge about and confidence in handling issues of sexualized violence and attitudes toward sexrelated myths. The same questionnaires were used in a control group (n = 54). Results In the curriculum group, self-assessed and declarative knowledge improved, the students were more confident in their abilities to handle issues of sexualized violence in a professional way, and sex-related myths were rejected even more strongly after the curriculum. Conclusion The findings suggest that awareness and knowledge about sexualized violence in institutions can be increased and sustained through the use of the curriculum "Sexualized Violence in Institutions." These encouraging results suggest that the curriculum should be taught in pedagogical and clinical disciplines at more universities. Policy Implications In view of the decentralized education system in Germany and the freedom of research and teaching at German universities, the curriculum can only be implemented on a voluntary basis. However, in terms of education policy, such an implementation could be supported by state-funded programs that provide lecturers both with necessary qualifications and necessary resources.
