Opening Doors: Teaching LGBTQ-themed Young Adult Literature for an Inclusive Curriculum     

Katherine E. Batchelor  Maria Ramos  Samantha Neiswander 《Clearing house (Menasha, Wis.)》2018,91(1):29-36

LGBTQ themes are often neglected in many schools' curriculum. Currently, an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum framework is not required in most school districts across the county. Therefore, it is important to understand how teachers regard LGBTQ issues; how they address the needs of students in the middle school and high school English classroom who identify on this spectrum or who come from LGBTQ families; and how they incorporate literature that may be considered “controversial” in their future school districts. In this study, English/Language Arts preservice teachers (PSTs) (certification 7–12) were invited to participate in a book club and self-select young adult (YA) literature centering on characters who identify on the LGBTQ spectrum. During two book club meetings, three themes emerged that embody how literature can become a mirror as well as a window for students and assist youth in identity formation and confirmation. Moreover, literature has the potential to empower readers to take action on controversial issues, especially when readers are in positions to make change (no matter how subtle). Although the data collected were from PSTs, our aim with this article is to expand these three themes as overarching messages for practicing educators today, urging the importance of a more inclusive curricula involving LGBTQ literature.  相似文献   

体育强国建设下幼儿家庭体育的现象学研究     

白翠瑾  李哲  杨光 《沈阳体育学院学报》2020,(2):34-40

2019年是中国体育划时代的一年,以《体育强国建设纲要》的颁布为起点开启了体育事业的全新征程。幼儿家庭体育是学前教育的薄弱环节,父母的体育引导是家庭体育的重中之重。采用现象学方法,以幼儿父母访谈为抓手诠释幼儿家庭体育现象。结果认为:父母观念下幼儿家庭体育的掣肘包括主观因素的理念束缚、安全焦虑、指导孱弱、精力局限,客观因素的经济无力、规划无序、保障无依。针对存在障碍提出化解路径:通过革新理念调解传统意识的偏颇,通过制定指南消解育教于体的困惑,通过家园共育缓解精力、经济的压力,通过社会支持纾解供需之间的失衡。  相似文献   

Communication through comedy: a drama and theatre project with young people for whom English is a second language     

Lisa Shepherd 《Support for Learning》2014,29(2):167-176

This article explores an eight‐month community theatre project with young people for whom English is a second language. Working as a creative practitioner facilitating young people to explore their personal stories of transition to the UK, the dramatherapist discovered comedy to be an important and poignant vehicle for expression of the emotional and psychological material associated with transition. In this article the author explores her experience of working with a group of young people who came together from all over the world to share their experiences of transition through the use of comedic theatre techniques.  相似文献   

MenCare+ in South Africa: findings from a gender transformative young men’s group education on sexual and reproductive health and rights     

Harald Kedde  Kerryn Rehse  Giovanni Nobre  Wessel van den Berg 《Sex education》2018,18(2):206-218

This paper details findings from an evaluation of a gender-transformative sexual and reproductive health and rights group education programme facilitated with young men aged 15–24 years in South Africa. A total of 475 young men participated in the group education programme. A self-administered pre- and post-questionnaire survey was conducted with a sample of the participants, and focus group discussions were facilitated. A total of 265 young men completed both the pre and post-questionnaires. Findings from the surveys as well as the focus group discussions showed positive changes in gender equitable attitudes, contraception and condom use. Results indicate that the young men who participated in the group education learned to identify harmful gender norms and actively questioned these constructs both within their personal lives and in the broader community. The intervention enabled some participants to envision alternative versions of masculinity and femininity, thus enabling them to adopt a new way of being, with transformed attitudes concerning household and gender roles.  相似文献   

Culture and sexuality in Finnish health education textbooks     

Veronika Honkasalo 《Sex education》2018,18(5):541-554

In Finland, Young people’s sexuality education has not been examined from a multicultural perspective, with the exception of a few policy-oriented papers. This paper examines how cultural diversity is addressed in chapters on sexuality and sexuality education in Finnish health education textbooks. The analysis is based on material contained in textbooks used in grades 7–9 and upper secondary schools. Findings suggest that cultural diversity is included in textbooks in one of two ways: either to demonstrate the uniqueness of liberal, emancipated and progressive ‘Finnish’ sexuality; or as a way of distancing Finland and Finnish values from the rest of the world. In these textbooks, culture is understood as belonging to non-Finnish ‘others’ and a culture that itself as not being Finnish. This somewhat tendentious treatment of cultural diversity leaves teachers with limited tools with which to promote anti-discriminatory education. The textbooks also overlook the diverse backgrounds of young people growing up in Finland today.  相似文献   

eHealth literacy and the motivators for HPV prevention among young adults in Kenya     

Nancy Muturi 《Communication Research Reports》2020,37(3):74-86

ABSTRACT

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common but preventable sexually transmitted infections that affect males and females but knowledge about it and vaccine uptake remain low. As organizations adopt eHealth communication strategies to communicate about HPV, this study examines the association between eHealth literacy (and related elements) and the motivators for HPV prevention that are based on the protection motivation theory. A survey was conducted among 472 young adults in Kenya and results show moderate eHealth literacy (M = 3.21, SD = 1.03) and online information seeking (M = 3.57, SD = 1.08) but low HPV knowledge and risk perception. eHealth literacy was correlated with HPV knowledge, perceived risk, self-efficacy, and response efficacy whereas online health information seeking were correlated with perceived seriousness of HPV infection. This study suggests examining the discrepancy between online information seeking and knowledge and the disparities in eHealth literacy among young adults in HPV communication.  相似文献

北京市中小学青年教师专业素养现状调查与分析——以“京教杯”参赛青年教师为研究对象     

刘胡权 《北京教育学院学报》2017,31(2):8-17

以网上问卷调查的方式,对849名参加"京教杯"比赛的青年教师进行专业素养现状调查。结果发现:"京教杯"参赛青年教师对学科知识的理解尚不够深入,反思能力低于其他能力,教育观念还需深化,情感素养亟待提升。制约参赛教师专业发展的主要因素是"工作繁忙、缺乏自主时间""缺乏专业指导""缺乏教育资源"等。基于此,我们需要整体、全面地认识中小学青年教师的专业素养,提升其情感素养,营造良好的成长氛围,提供专业支持与指导,激发其自我实现的内驱力,促进其自主成长。  相似文献
