STEM lives
Data on the experiences of sexual and gender minority (SGM) STEM teachers are sparse. We conducted a phenomenological qualitative research study and interviewed ten STEM teachers working in primary and secondary schools in the United States. They were interviewed about their interest in STEM, as well as about advocating for themselves and others in STEM. Findings offer insights into how sexual orientation and gender identity impact the lives of t…
The Potential Effectiveness of an Online Gender-Based Violence Prevention Program for European Students—The Role of Gender Essentialism, Ambivalent Sexism, and Perceived Responsiveness of the Universi…
This study evaluates the potential effectiveness of an online course concerning gender-based violence prevention, which combines the bystander intervention approach and the myths-based approach. The sample consists of 67 students who participated in three measurements-before the course, immediately after the course, and 3 months later. Gender-based violence myth acceptance decreased, and bystander efficacy increased after the course. The effects …
Teacher and parental views on inclusive education policy lending in the Czech Republic
In international education policy articulations by organisations such as the UNESCO, inclusive education is defined rather vaguely, usually in terms of human rights. Yet, national reception it is more or less taken for granted. Analyses of policy lending show that when national education traditions are not respected, the lack of clarity about the concrete form of inclusion is further augmented by resistance to a foreign import. Taking the example…
The first wave of the Covid‐19 pandemic in primary schools in the Czech Republic
The article presents results of a survey among parents of primary‐school pupils, in which they commented on education during school closures due to the COVID‐19 disease pandemic in the spring of 2020. The questionnaire mapped family arrangements, parents' competencies, parenting practices concerning learning, and communication with the school. It was administered to more than 2,500 respondents at the end of the period of school closures (May–June…
Community Schools in Selected Eastern European and Eurasian Countries
In this article, we present the results of an international comparative study on the concept of Community School across nine eastern European and Eurasian countries. The study sample consists of two schools considered to be Community Schools from each country (N = 451 teachers); a teacher survey was conducted and the implementation of the International Quality Standards for Community Schools was measured. Quantitative data related to scales were …
Feminine and Masculine Labels
The labour market is segregated both vertically and horizontally by gender. Some research has concluded that gender segregation results in a lower prestige being attributed to occupations labelled as feminine (Merkel et al. 2012, Formanowicz et al. 2012). On the other hand, gender-sensitive language that uses feminine labels for better contingency with social reality is considered a basic tool for gender equality. This article explores whether in…
Sexual Harassment at Universities
In this article the authors present the main results from one of two existing Czech studies on sexual harassment at Czech universities. The research was carried out in 2008-2009 on a sample of 832 students at 11 public universities and colleges. The results indicate that 78% of students have personally experienced teacher behaviours that can be characterised as sexual harassment. However, only 3% of them said explicitly that they had been sexuall…
