Download or read book The Impacts of a National Curriculum on Relationship and Sexuality Education written by Paulina Ezer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2015 release of the national policy Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (AC:HPE) incorporates relationship and sexuality education (RSE). As a learning area that was subject to deep-seated values for or against it, school based RSE was often avoided despite its standing as an internationally recognised human right. Previous research has demonstrated effective RSE to be a catalyst for delaying the onset of sexual activity, increasing condom and contraceptive use, and improving sexual health outcomes. The aim of this research was to determine whether a national curriculum could positively impact the delivery and receipt of RSE by examining the aims of the AC:HPE in relation to RSE and its impacts on teachers' delivery and students' experiences. This research was divided into three components: (1) a text-based critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the AC:HPE; (2) the 2018 National Survey of Australian Teachers of Sexuality Education (n equals 239); and (3) the 5th and 6th National Surveys of Secondary Students and Sexual Health (2013 n equals 2,193; 2018 n equals 6,180). Findings reveal that: (1) the AC:HPE emphasises a teacher-facilitated approach to RSE, which is in line with recent shifts in education towards strengths-based learning that encourages students' development of critical thinking skills; (2) teachers have not received sufficient preparation to deliver RSE material in line with the aims of the AC:HPE, and earlier training would increase their comfort delivering this material; and (3) students' school-based RSE experiences remain unchanged since before the release of the AC:HPE, with their diverse needs continuing to not be fully met. Understanding the impacts of the AC:HPE on RSE delivery and receipt will help inform better teacher training, educational practices, and student experiences, and will help advance RSE policy developments that support both teacher and student needs.
Download or read book Euphorias in Gender Sex and Sexuality Variations written by Tiffany Jones and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book uses the concept of ‘euphoria’ to investigate when, why and how marginal gender, sex and sexuality groups have positive experiences of their diverse variations even within repressive and disordering contexts. Drawing on data from multiple online surveys including a study of 2,407 LGBTQ+ people and a study of 272 people with intersex variations, it names and offers a new ecological framework for understanding participants’ influences on and barriers to euphorias, asserting the subversive possibilities of being euphorically queer, as opposed to euphoric and queer. The author argues that it is the particularities of negative internal, socio-cultural and institutional contexts for a marginal group or groups that contributes towards the possibilities that shape their potential euphoric feelings and experiences. Ultimately, she calls for a more expansive focus in gender and sexuality studies to show the complex effects of dysphoria and repression on the possibilities of pleasure and joy. This book will be of interest to scholars across Gender, Sexuality and Queer Studies.

Download or read book LGBTIQ Teachers written by Jen Gilbert and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together some of the key researchers and thinkers in the field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and/or queer (LGBTIQ+) teacher research. The authors offer international perspectives on the state of play for LGBTIQ+ teachers and engage with some of the key issues that have and continue to shape research. Importantly, this book offers accounts from trans*/non-binary teachers and researchers as well as racialised LGBTIQ+ teachers and researchers—voices that have been absent from the field for too long. The book also offers reflections upon the history of research with LGBTIQ+ teachers and offers an examination of the impact of political and legal changes for LGBTIQ+ people upon teacher identity. The book does not understand the process of change as simple—from intolerance to tolerance—rather, it understands that change is complex, nuanced and experienced differently across and between contexts. As such, it provides readers with a challenge—to accept all that it means to be an LGBTIQ+ educator, including unhappy histories, complex relationships with schools, systemic homophobia and transphobia, and moments of pride and joy. This book was originally published as special issue of the journal Teaching Education.

Download or read book Understanding Sociological Theory for Educational Practices written by Tania Ferfolja and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In contemporary classrooms, it is crucial for teachers to have a thorough understanding of sociological issues in education. Understanding Sociological Theory for Educational Practices addresses sociological theory, highlighting its relevance to policy, curriculum and practice for the pre-service teacher education student. The book explores a range of sociological issues related to diversity, disadvantage, discrimination and marginalisation, contributing to the preparation of future teachers for work in a range of educational contexts. It seeks to dispel the traditional 'one-size-fits-all' notion of education, encouraging future teachers to think critically and reflexively in terms of creating a welcoming and equitable student environment through knowledge, inclusion and understanding. This book is an invaluable resource for primary, secondary and early childhood pre-service teacher education students as they prepare to navigate the diversity of the modern classroom. It is also an excellent resource for practitioners and researchers interested in issues of diversity and difference in education."--Publisher's website.
Download or read book Gender and Sexuality Diversity in a Culture of Limitation written by Tania Ferfolja and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender and Sexuality Diversity in a Culture of Limitation provides an outstanding and insightful critique of the ways that contemporary education is impacted by a range of political, social and cultural influences that inform the approaches that schools take in relation to gender and sexuality diversity. By applying feminist poststructural and Foucauldian frameworks, the book examines the ongoing impact of broader socio-cultural discourse on the lives of gender and sexuality diverse students and teachers. Beginning with an overview of the impact of how a culture of limitation is realised in Australia, the focus moves beyond this context to examine state and federal policies from comparable societies in countries including the USA and the UK and their effect on the production of knowledges and what’s permissible to include in educational curriculum. This research-driven book thus provides a comparative, international overview of the current state of gender and sexuality diversity in schools, and convincingly demonstrates that despite some empowerment of gender and sexuality diverse individuals, silencing and marginalization remain powerful forces. This book will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, professionals, and policy makers interested in the field of gender and sexuality in education. It is essential reading for those involved in pre-service and in-service teacher education, diversity education, the sociology of education, as well as education more generally.

Download or read book Innovating Christian Education Research written by Johannes M. Luetz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reformulates Christian education as an interdisciplinary and interdenominational vocation for professionals and practitioners. It speaks directly to a range of contemporary contexts with the aim of encouraging conceptual, empirical and practice-informed innovation to build the field of Christian education research. The book invites readers to probe questions concerning epistemologies, ethics, pedagogies and curricula, using multidisciplinary research approaches. By helping thinkers to believe and believers to think, the book seeks to stimulate constructive dialogue about what it means to innovate Christian education research today.Chapters are organised into three main sections. Following an introduction to the volume's guiding framework and intended contribution (Chapter 1), Part 1 features conceptual perspectives and comprises research that develops theological, philosophical and theoretical discussion of Christian education (Chapters 2-13). Part 2 encompasses empirical research that examines data to test theory, answer big questions and develop our understanding of Christian education (Chapters 14-18). Finally, Part 3 reflects on contemporary practice contexts and showcases examples of emerging research agendas in Christian education (Chapters 19-24).
Download or read book Understanding Whole School Approaches to LGBTQ Inclusion written by Jonathan Glazzard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a comprehensive theoretical exploration of LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools drawing on critical insights from across the disciplines of sociology, psychology, history, and queer theory to present a robust theoretical foundation for school-wide approaches to LGBTQ+ inclusion. Examining key concepts such as minority stress and ‘post-gay’ identities, it offers a nuanced understanding of the historical attitudes and systemic oppression faced by the LGBTQ+ community. The chapters construct an ecological framework that highlights the unique challenges encountered by LGBTQ+ students and teachers in educational settings. This framework serves as the basis for a model that advocates for proactive measures in fostering an inclusive environment in schools. This includes the development of inclusive policies, practices, culture, and curricula. The book concludes by contemplating the potential applications of this model in Higher Education, extending its relevance beyond K-12 schools to also include universities and colleges. This volume will be valuable resource for researchers, scholars, educators, and policymakers interested in promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion in educational institutions, and with interests in gender and education, whole-school approaches, LGBTQ+, and diversity and inclusion more broadly.

Download or read book The Consciously Unbiased Educator written by Huda Essa and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators must achieve cultural proficiency to overcome unconscious biases and tap the limitless potential of their school communities. In The Consciously Unbiased Educator, cultural proficiency expert and former teacher Huda Essa helps educators uncover and surmount the limitations of unconscious biases—stereotypes that form below the surface of our awareness, making them harder to detect. Although these biases aren't formed with the intent to do harm, if they are not interrupted, they contribute to negative outcomes for students. With warmth and wisdom, Essa urges educators to move past any reflexive defensiveness or shame that comes with facing these biases to take a journey that will ultimately empower and benefit the entire school community. Filled with rich, clarifying insights drawn from Essa's own experience as well as comprehensive research findings, this inspirational resource pushes readers' thinking to new levels. To aid in examining these biases, this thought-provoking yet highly approachable book offers • Practical ideas, strategies, and tools, such as a personal index enabling readers to gather and organize learning in the most resonant, meaningful way possible. • Thoughtful discussion of essential concepts and terms, including the cultural proficiency continuum, privilege, culturally responsive practices, exclusionary behaviors, and more. • Numerous exercises that encourage readers to activate their critical consciousness and use the author's 3Rs (review, reflect, resolve) method to respond to real-life scenarios. • Deep reflection prompts to foster mindful contemplation and gain confidence for engaging in productive discourse about sensitive topics. Editable PDF versions of the prompts and resources within the book are also available to enhance and extend opportunities for reflection and learning. Readers will build the knowledge and skills they need to ""become their own manual"" and apply their learning off the page. Educators can change the status quo. If we want our students to remember us as educators who touch hearts, open minds, and awaken souls, we must boldly address the topic of bias.
Download or read book Affectivity and Learning written by Pablo Fossa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of affectivity and human learning by bridging the gap between neuroscience, cultural and cognitive psychology. It brings together studies that go beyond the focus on cognitive-intellectual variables involved in learning processes and incorporate the study of the role played by affectivity and emotions in learning not only at educational settings but in all processes of transformation and human development, thus presenting affectivity as a catalyst and mediator of all daily learning processes. Chapters brought together in this contributed volume present both theoretical contributions and results of empirical research from different disciplines, such as neuroscience, cognitive psychology, cultural psychology, educational psychology, developmental psychology and philosophy, and are grouped into five thematic sections. The first part of the book brings together chapters discussing different aspects of the role played by affectivity in learning processes from the perspectives of cultural, educational and developmental psychology. The second part is dedicated to the role of affectivity for teachers during their training as educators and during their pedagogical practice in diverse contexts. The third part focuses on the relationship between affectivity and learning from a neuroscientific point of view. The fourth part discusses affectivity and learning in therapeutic and clinical contexts. Finally, the fifth part brings together chapters about affectivity and learning in everyday life. By bringing together this rich interdisciplinary collection of studies, Affectivity and Learning: Bridging the Gap Between Neurosciences, Cultural and Cognitive Psychology will be a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and education, as well as for educators and teachers interested in knowing more about the relationship between affectivity and human learning.
