ABSTRACT

This article explores teaching practice concerning sexual harassment and abuse in Norwegian upper secondary schools based on phone interviews with 64 social studies teachers. This study portrays great variation in what extent teachers address these issues and discusses how this variation can be understood considering teachers’ personal characteristics, their interpretation of the curriculum, school culture-related factors and media coverage of sexual harassment and abuse. Young female teachers address such matters the most and younger teachers teach more about these issues than older teachers in general. The effect of age is stronger on women than men; the older the female teachers are, the less do they address sexual harassment and abuse. Male teachers have the same level of teaching regardless of age. Teachers’ characteristics appear to be equally influential as school culture-related factors.

摘要

本文基于对 64 名社会研究教师的电话采访，探讨了挪威高中关于性骚扰和性虐待的教学实践。本研究描绘了教师在多大程度上解决这些问题的巨大差异，并讨论了如何考虑教师的个人特征、他们对课程的解释、学校文化相关因素以及媒体对性骚扰和虐待的报道来理解这种差异。年轻女教师解决这些问题最多，年轻教师比一般年长教师教授更多关于这些问题的内容。年龄对女性的影响比男性强；女教师年龄越大，她们处理性骚扰和性虐待的问题就越少。男教师不分年龄，教学水平相同。
