Gendered harassment in secondary schools : understanding teachers' perceptions of and responses to the problemMeyer, Elizabeth J., 1971- January 2007 (has links)
This study explores the phenomenon of gendered harassment in secondary schools from the teachers' perspectives. The few studies that address the biased behaviors that are linked under the concept of gendered harassment (sexual harassment, homophobic harassment, and harassment for gender non-conformity) indicate that teachers are less likely to intervene in these incidents. This dissertation explores how teachers understand and respond to (hetero)sexist and homophobic behaviors when they occur. / Six teachers in one urban school board participated in a series of three open-ended in-depth interviews where they spoke about the many factors that influenced how they saw and intervened in various forms of bullying and harassment in their schools. Interview data were analyzed using contextual and thematic codes to locate similarities, differences, and stories in the data. This study is informed by critical, feminist and queer theories. The findings have been organized in a conceptual framework that emerged from the research. / Findings indicate that there are both external and internal influences that shape how teachers view and respond to gendered harassment in schools. The external factors, also described as school culture, include both structural-formal and structural-informal influences. Formal influences include policies, training, curriculum and contracts. Informal influences refer to leadership style, relationships with colleagues, policy implementation, and community values. Internal influences that shape teachers' perceptions and responses include: educational biography, teaching philosophy, and personal identities. / The implications of this study for research and practice can have impacts on the fields of school policy, teacher education, curriculum, and educational leadership. It provides a framework for understanding how school cultures interact with teachers' identities and shape how policies and curricula are implemented. It also offers suggestions for scholars, advocates, and educational leaders to proactively address the negative impacts of gendered harassment by transforming teacher education, educational leadership programs, and in turn, school cultures.

Teacher educators' practice of queer-care : a necessary expansion of Noddings' model careBenson, Fiona. January 2008 (has links)
This study explores the hitherto unexamined phenomenon of queer-care in higher education from the teacher educators' perspectives. While care in education has been the subject of scholarly interest for many years and demonstrating caring for the wellbeing of students is an important component of teaching, the lack of attention to queer-care is a significant oversight in the body of care research and teacher education. Pertinent to this study is the investigation of how well Noddings' enactments of care (modeling, dialogue, practice, and confirmation) address the care needs of queer students. / Four teacher educators shared stories of their efforts to care for the emotional wellbeing of their queer students. As the fifth teacher educator in this work, I investigate my journey to becoming a queer-care practitioner, and my own practice of queer-care. The theoretical frameworks of qualitative and phenomenological research and feminist theory undergird this study. Two processes of analysis were employed, the first being the key sensitizing concepts of Noddings' enactments of care as points of entry into an understanding of the teacher educators' narratives of queer-care. The second level of analysis used the insights so gleaned to guide the focus of the self-study undertaken in this work. / Analysis of the teacher educators' narratives indicates that the practice of queer-care, while sharing certain similarities, is idiosyncratic, complicated, lonely, and often exhausting work. Alongside these findings are indicators that queer-care as practiced by these teacher educators is welcomed by queer students as being all too rare in their university experience, and of benefit to their sense of wellbeing. Findings also reveal that Noddings' enactments of care neither include nor address the particular care needs of queer students. This led me to identify particular care needs of queer students as being those of unwavering discretion, absolute safety, full social membership, and unstinting succour. This necessary awareness expands Noddings' model of care allowing it to include and be responsive to queer students. / This research has implications for teacher educators and any educators concerned with the wellbeing of queer students. It provides suggestions to enrich caring practice in teacher education programs and field experience.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-19 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The purpose of this research is to understand the concepts constructed by teachers who are
gay about the multiple violence and prejudices experienced in relation to their sexual
orientation and their expression approach types. To enable to comply with this, we seek to
understand the historical constitution of heterosexism and homophobia in the Brazilian
society. We have focused on studies that recall the trajectory of LGBTT movement and the
various forms of expression of homophobia, focusing especially on their expressions in
school. We also have reflected on the school as a powerful space for confronting
homophobia and how this institution can eventually also become a space for violence
Finally, the study also focused on understanding struggling strategies and homophobia
conflict. Hence, four sessions of conversation were held with teachers who identified
themselves as gays and who work in the basic education. The selection of the teachers who
participated of the r4esearched was based on the "snowball" strategy, according to May's
proposition, in which the first participant selected, which met the profile defined for the study
(being a teacher who defined him/herself gay in public schools of basic education indicated a
new entrant and so on. The analysis was done by Núcleos of Significação (Meaning Concept
Cell). The research concluded that prejudice and discrimination against the LGBTT
population, in most cases, result in situations in which these people are humiliated and / or
beaten, initially because their expression of gender / sexuality is considered to be outside of
the patterns of heteronormativity. This fact suggests that it is fundamental to face
conservatism, which is expressed in practices that accentuate prejudice and violence
addressed to the LGBTT population in the school environment. In this sense, when the
school does not define itself politically against homophobic violence, it can become a space
for the production of violence and a reaffirmation of the exclusions experienced by the school
actors. We have realized that the daily school life has not been conducive for teachers who
wish to have a practice committed to the transformation of reality to achieve it, especially
when they are engaged in a work involving education related to gender relations and the fight
against homophobia. We have concluded that the participants of this research as they were
classified themselves as "good students" and having faced violence in the school during their
initial school time and then as teachers, had to create tools and strategies by themselves to
face the challenges presented by the their gender condition. It is important to emphasize
that to overcome the difficulties experienced by the participants was only possible in the adult
life and that they survived in school through the establishment of partnerships and supports
(personal and institutional). Considering this scenario, such partnerships and supports were
fundamental to the participants to remain in school as teachers, developing their work in a
positive way. Thus, the results of this study suggest that it is essential that schools develop
projects, together with social movements, to devote themselves to understand, discuss and
accept differences in sexual orientation, so that these actions imply that students dropping
out of school out by fear and / or discrimination, and building professional settings in which
gay teachers also remain in school without violence / O propósito desta pesquisa é compreender as significações que professores gays constroem sobre as múltiplas violências e sobre os preconceitos vividos em relação à própria orientação sexual e suas formas de expressão. Para isso, buscamos compreender a
constituição histórica do heterossexismo e da homofobia na sociedade brasileira.
Debruçamo-nos sobre os estudos que recontam a trajetória de lutas do movimento LGBTT e
às diversas formas de expressão da homofobia, dedicando-nos, especialmente, às suas
expressões na escola. Refletimos, também, sobre a escola como um espaço potente para o
enfrentamento da homofobia e como em alguns momentos essa instituição também pode se
tornar um espaço de produção de violências. Por fim, o estudo também se dedicou a
compreender estratégias de enfrentamento e combate à homofobia. Para isso, foram
realizadas quatro sessões de conversação com professores que se autodeclaram gays e
que atuavam na educação básica. A seleção dos professores participantes ocorreu pela
estratégia “bola de neve”, segundo proposição de May, na qual o primeiro participante
selecionado, e que atendia ao perfil definido para o estudo (ser professor que se autodeclara
gay, em exercício em escolas públicas de educação básica) indicou um novo participante e
assim sucessivamente. A análise foi feita por Núcleos de Significação. A pesquisa permitiu
concluir que o preconceito e a discriminação contra a população LGBTT, na maioria das
vezes, resultam em situações nas quais essas pessoas são humilhadas e/ou agredidas,
inicialmente, por sua expressão de gênero/sexualidade considerada fora dos padrões de
heteronormatividade. Esse fato sugere que é fundamental combater o conservadorismo, que
se expressa em práticas que acentuam o preconceito e as violências direcionadas à
população LGBTT no ambiente escolar. Dessa maneira, quando a escola não se posiciona
politicamente contrária às violências homofóbicas, ela pode se tornar um espaço de
produção de violências e de reafirmação das exclusões vividas pelos atores escolares.
Apreendemos que o cotidiano escolar não tem sido propício para que os professores que
pretendem ter uma prática comprometida com a transformação da realidade consigam
empreende-la, em especial quando se dedicam a um trabalho envolvendo a educação para
as relações de gênero e para o combate à homofobia. Verificamos que os participantes
desta pesquisa, ao terem se constituído como “bons alunos” e por terem enfrentado
violências no espaço escolar durante sua escolarização inicial e depois como professores,
tiveram que forjar sozinhos as ferramentas e as estratégias para enfrentar os desafios
colocados em função da sua orientação sexual. É importante ressaltar que a superação das
dificuldades vividas pelos participantes só se concretizou na vida adulta e que eles
sobreviveram na escola por meio do estabelecimento de parcerias e apoios (pessoais e
institucionais). Diante disso, tais parcerias e apoios mostraram-se fundamentais para que os
participantes conseguissem permanecer na escola, como professores, desenvolvendo seu
trabalho de forma positiva. Sendo assim, os resultados deste estudo sugerem que é
essencial que as escolas desenvolvam projetos, em parceria com os movimentos sociais,
que se dediquem a compreender, discutir e acolher as diferenças de orientação sexual, de
maneira que essas ações impliquem a prevenção da evasão de alunos e alunas LGBTT por
medo e/ou discriminação e a construção de ambientes profissionais nos quais os
professores gays também permaneçam nas escolas sem que sofram violências

Teacher perceptions, knowledge and intervention on homosexual learners in high schools around the Gert Sibande District of the Mpumalanga Province toward a responsive interventionNkosi, Charlotte Dumazile January 2022 (has links)
Thesis (Ph.D. (Education Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / This qualitative study explored teacher perceptions, knowledge and intervention of
homosexual learners in high schools in the Gert Sibande District of Mpumalanga.
Homophobic issues have proven to be rife in high schools in Mpumalanga. Therefore,
it was commendable to understand how teachers perceive the homosexuality of these
minority learners. That reason directed the purpose of this study, as teachers should
teach, guide and protect all learners in the school. Hence, it was crucial to ascertain
how they deal with homophobic attitudes or whether they are even aware of
homophobic attitudes within schools.
This study adopted Gibson’s Theory of Direct Perception, the top-down and
constructivist theory, to understand teacher perceptions and knowledge of the
homosexuality of high school learners. This study used a case study design and
empirical studies were extensively reviewed to corroborate data gathered through
individual interviews and document analysis.
Data generated from the semi-structured individual interviews were analysed through
Thematic Content Analysis. Numerous findings emerged from this research. Firstly, it
became evident that teacher perceptions of learners’ homosexuality were hampered
by their lack of knowledge about the phenomenon. It follows that there was no mention
of homosexuality as a concept during their teacher education. Even in practice, the
concept is not precisely included in the curriculum. Secondly, teachers appeared to
have negative perceptions and a misunderstanding of the homosexuality of learners
because they are obstructed by their own beliefs – namely, the Christian religion and
their culture – in recognising homosexual learners in high schools. They still believe in
stereotypes and myths which are encouraging homophobic behaviour. Thirdly, no
homophobic incident was documented and as a result, no one was able to refer to
previous or common incidents. The teachers confirmed that management resonated
the same sentiments as everybody else at the expense of homosexual learners, who
are rendered voiceless and vulnerable to discrimination, violence and isolation. This
study recommends a speedy intervention from the Department of Basic Education to
equip teachers with the necessary knowledge and accurate information on
homosexuality as a concept for school communities.
This study offered sufficient evidence for the claim that secondary school teachers’
perceptions, knowledge and intervention need to be challenged and homosexuality
should be explicitly included in the curriculum to benefit the minority youth in high
schools.
