How materialities and space–time travellings in class can breathe new life into Swedish secondary school Natural Science sexuality education
In this study, we investigate the phenomenon of Swedish Natural Science sexuality education. These classes tend to provide factual knowledge, focus on the negative outcomes of sexuality, be heteronormative and include little time for discussion—like much school sexuality education across the world—and this study aims to contribute ideas about new becomings of Natural Science sexuality education. Baradian theorising was used to explore how materialities and space and time travels within the classroom can challenge often-dominant perspectives. Data were produced in a secondary school and consist of teacher-researcher discussions and participatory observations in class. A futuristic case introduced students to spaces, times and materialities that not only helped the group move beyond a medical focus but also made the sexuality education more student centred. The participating teachers suggested imaginary lust-oriented scenarios for the 15–16-year-old students as an entrance to more preventive messages in teaching. A taken-for-granted heterosexual premise was also challenged with gender-neutral words and pronouns, an exercise on how to use both condoms and dental dams, and a time travel into future possibilities for reproduction and parenting. The acknowledgement of spacetimematter intra-activity in teaching thereby enabled new becomings of Swedish Natural Science sexuality education. However, although this study suggests how dominant medical and heterosexual perspectives can be challenged, it also made visible the absence of cultural, religious, asexuality and disability perspectives in Swedish sexuality education.
期刊介绍:
Cultural Studies of Science Education is a peer reviewed journal that provides an interactive platform for researchers working in the multidisciplinary fields of cultural studies and science education. By taking a cultural approach and paying attention to theories from cultural studies, this new journal reflects the current diversity in the study of science education in a variety of contexts, including schools, museums, zoos, laboratories, parks and gardens, aquariums and community development, maintenance and restoration.
This journal
focuses on science education as a cultural, cross-age, cross-class, and cross-disciplinary phenomenon;
publishes articles that have an explicit and appropriate connection with and immersion in cultural studies;
seeks articles that have theory development as an integral aspect of the data presentation;
establishes bridges between science education and social studies of science, public understanding of science, science/technology and human values, and science and literacy;
builds new communities at the interface of currently distinct discourses;
aims to be a catalyst that forges new genres of and for scholarly dissemination;
provides an interactive dialogue that includes the editors, members of the review board, and selected international scholars;
publishes manuscripts that encompass all forms of scholarly activity;
includes research articles, essays, OP-ED, critical, comments, criticisms and letters on emerging issues of significance.
