Znanje, stališča in zaznave bodočih grških učiteljev glede spolne in seksualne raznolikosti ter spolne vzgoje
Povzetek
Ta študija raziskuje znanje, stališča in zaznave bodočih učiteljev glede spolne in seksualne raznolikosti ter spolne vzgoje. Bodoči učitelji z grških univerz so bili povabljeni k sodelovanju v spletni anketi v okviru projekta »All Inclusive! Gradimo do LGBT+ prijazne šole po Evropi«. Skupno je sodelovalo 123 bodočih učiteljev, tako da so izpolnili strukturiran vprašalnik, ki je preučeval njihovo znanje, stališča in zaznave glede spolne in seksualne raznolikosti ter spolne vzgoje v šolah. Ugotovitve kažejo, da večina udeležencev podpira idejo enakopravnosti med heteroseksualnimi, homoseksualnimi in transspolnimi osebami ter ima pozitivne zaznave o stopnji inkluzivnosti v svojem univerzitetnem okolju. Izsledki prav tako kažejo, da anketirani bodoči učitelji priznavajo pomen zagotavljanja spolne vzgoje v današnjih šolah, čeprav so med lastnim šolanjem sami prejeli omejeno izobraževanje o vprašanjih, povezanih s spolnostjo. Ugotovitve poudarjajo pomanjkanje pripravljenosti bodočih učiteljev za podporo učencem pri vprašanjih seksualne raznolikosti zaradi omejenega pedagoškega znanja, pridobljenega med njihovim začetnim izobraževanjem za učitelje. Študija ima več implikacij za začetno izobraževanje učiteljev v Grčiji, kar se tiče povezave s spolno vzgojo.
