Religião e Sexualidade: Estudo de caso sobre a presença ou ausência de práticas educacionais voltadas para a sexualidade infantil nas Igrejas Metodistas do ABC

Esta pesquisa pretende caracterizar a importância da educação sexual dentro dos projetos de educação cristã nas igrejas protestantes. Porém, especificando um pouco mais a questão, esse trabalho circunscreve essas discussões ao âmbito da sexualidade infantil, explicitados em alguns materiais tornados públicos em nível nacional pela Igreja Metodista e, posteriormente, no contexto da prática de suas Escolas Dominicais (ED), localizadas na região do ABC paulista (Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo e São Caetano do Sul), estado de São Paulo. Metodologicamente, o primeiro momento dessa pesquisa pretende compreender os termos e conceitos ligados a religião, a sexualidade e a infância. Neste sentido, realizou-se um trajeto histórico em relação ao tema. Em seguida, são verificados alguns documentos oficiais da Igreja Metodista em relação à educação, a criança e a sexualidade, a fim de se estabelecer um diálogo com a prática observada na pesquisa de campo e concretizada por meio de um questionário respondido pelo pastor(a) da igreja local, um professor(a) de ED e o(a) líder do ministério infantil. Por fim, no quarto capítulo, faz-se uma reflexão acerca do material coletado na pesquisa de campo e também sobre possíveis práticas pastorais que valorizem as questões sobre a educação sexual para a infância.

Working at the interface : the descriptive relevance of Grunig and Hunt’s theories to public relations practices in south east Queensland schools

This article examines the relevance of James Grunig and Todd Hunt’s (1984) theories to public relations practitioners’ roles in south east Queensland schools. It focuses in particular on the two-way symmetric model in this context. The geographical boundaries of the research mean that this article is intended primarily as an exploratory, descriptive analysis of a specific area rather than an exhaustive treatise on the general topic of public relations in Australian schools. However, it is hoped that it will prove useful in identifying bases for further study and discussion.

Education for all : providing curriculum for students with disabilities in a standards-based environment : implications for Queensland schools

This report investigates lessons learned by educators in the United States when providing a standards-based curriculum for all students including Students with Disabilities (SWD). Assumptions about implementation of these lessons are then made to the Queensland school system. Queensland mainstream schools currently provide a standards-based curriculum for over sixteen thousand-four hundred students with mild-moderate disabilities and appear to be challenged by this new educational reform and its implications to school and teacher practices, beliefs and attitudes. The analysis of US research, literature and educational policy for this report, has provided some implications for Queensland schools in the areas of student participation, achievement and curriculum planning to provide an “education for all”. The analysis and comparison of legislation and policy, which demonstrates some significant similarities, provides greater validity for the application of lessons learned in the United States to the Queensland context. The key findings about lessons learned provides Queensland schools with some assumptions as to why and how they need to refocus school leader and teachers’ practices, beliefs and attitudes to provide an “education for all”. These lessons infer that school leaders and teachers to explicitly focus on equity, expectation, accountability, performance, alignment and collaboration so that effective curriculum is provided for SWD, indeed all students, in the Queensland standards-based curriculum environment.
