Herausforderung Sexuelle Bildung im Sachunterricht. Theoretische, empirische und praktische Perspektiven

Soll, darf oder muss das Thema Sexualität Gegenstand von Unterricht in der Grundschule sein? Die Autor*innen zeigen nicht nur die Herausforderungen auf, die sich im Zusammenhang mit dem Themenfeld ergeben. Anhand eines speziell entwickelten Tandemseminars beschreiben sie auch erste Ideen zur Professionalisierung angehender Sachunterrichtslehrkräfte im Kontext Sexueller Bildung/Prävention sexualisierter Gewalt. (DIPF/Orig.) This article summarizes the presentations and discussions of the symposium “Sexual Education [Sexuelle Bildung] in and for the Future”, which took place during the 31st annual conference of the GDSU and focuses on sexual education as an educational concept/topic that is relatively neglected and challenging in primary education and subject didactics. The article first summarizes the status quo of the didactic discourse on sexual education in primary schools and General Studies [Sachunterricht] and identifies desiderata and perspectives for empirical research on the topic. Based on a recent qualitative interview study (Coers 2019), requirements for teacher education regarding sexual education are then empirically substantiated. Finally, possibilities and challenges in the professionalization of teachers are presented using the example of a seminar on sexual education and prevention of sexualized violence. (DIPF/Orig.)
