Résumé

Cette étude examine le degré d’aisance que les enseignants déclarent ressentir lorsqu’ils enseignent et préviennent la violence sexuelle. Un sondage a été employé pour recueillir des données auprès de 105 enseignants du secondaire provenant d’une commission scolaire publique en Ontario. Les résultats suggèrent que les participants se sentent généralement plus à l’aise d’enseigner le consentement et les relations respectueuses que la violence fondée sur le genre et la violence sexuelle, et qu’ils sont plus à l’aise d’intervenir dans des incidents de violence sexuelle manifestes et culturellement reconnaissables que dans ceux qui sont subtils. Le niveau d’aisance, l’insécurité d’emploi et le niveau de connaissances ont tous été fréquemment évalués comme des obstacles modérés à extrêmes à l’enseignement sur la violence sexuelle.

Biographie de l'auteur-e

Salsabel Almanssori, University of Windsor

est professeure adjointe auxiliaire à l’Université de Windsor. Ses recherches examinent comment l’innovation technologique contribue à la violence et aux inégalités tout en permettant la résistance aux préjudices systémiques, et comment les écoles peuvent y répondre grâce à un leadership courageux. En plus des méthodes traditionnelles d’entrevue et de sondage, elle dirige des programmes de recherche utilisant des méthodologies participatives, artistiques et numériques. Ses travaux et actions de sensibilisation éclairent le leadership éducatif et les politiques visant des réponses responsables et équitables à la violence en milieu scolaire. almans@uwindsor.ca
