Focus of work

In addition to teacher training and further education, Etschenberg deals in numerous publications with content-related and methodological issues in biology teaching, particularly in the area of ​​health and sex education. The teaching aids and models she developed are geared towards the goal of making biological specialist knowledge usable in a practical way.

She is co-editor of the journal Studium Biologie and editor of several themed issues on health and sex education. For the Federal Center for Health Education she has u. a. designed the teaching materials for AIDS awareness and information material for parents and teachers on the topic of "chronically ill children in school". In sex education , she is a representative of ideology-free, scientifically based sex education from elementary school onwards, based on socio-ethical values ​​such as self-determination, partnership, tolerance and consideration.

She was chairwoman of the German Society for Gender Education for many years and is Vice-President of the German Society for Social Science Sex Research . She is involved in child and youth protection on a voluntary basis; for example, she has been on the board of the North Rhine-Westphalia child and youth protection working group since 1979 . She is currently also concerned with issues relating to the protection of minors on the Internet. She is also known for her call for pornographic films to be included in school lessons in order to be able to advise young people on how to deal with them. She justifies this with the apparent inability of society to keep pornography away from minors.
