- Description
- The study sought to explore how a deeper understanding of the influence of Xhosa cultural perspectives on learning about sexuality could inform how Xhosa Life Orientation (L0), Life Sciences (LFSC) and Natural Sciences (NS) secondary school teachers could teach sexuality education to Xhosa adolescents. Teachers who teach sexuality education do not seem to succeed in equipping their adolescent learners with the necessary knowledge, values and skills for navigating safely through the development and expression of their sexuality. This is deemed important in South Africa where the HIV and AIDS epidemic is not yet fully under control and where gender-based violence remains a problem. The study took on a qualitative, participatory visual methodology within the interpretive and critical paradigms. It drew on Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as a lens to frame the study and through which data was interpreted and analysed. Thus, the research study involved nine female Xhosa LO, LFSC and NS township secondary school teachers who were purposively selected. Data were generated through four methods, namely document analysis, drawing, photo voice and curriculum posters. The generated data were analysed using thematic analysis and yielded rich findings for the five sub-questions, thereby answering the main research question.
