Retrieved from https://research.avondale.edu.au/theses_bachelor_honours/17</p>https://research.avondale.edu.au/handle/123456789/06435657<p>This qualitative inquiry aimed to investigate how three upper primary teachers are responding to the proposed implementation of the puberty-focused content from the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (F-10), in one faith-based school in Queensland. This research used semi-structured interviews with three participants and a reflective journal kept by the researcher. The semi-structured interviews were conducted with three upper primary teachers from one faith-based school in Queensland, and these formed the base of the data collection processes. The teachers’ underlying responses towards the puberty education from the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (F-10) appeared to reflect reluctance towards using a curriculum document, resistance to change and reliance on tacit knowledge. In turn the factors behind the responses indicated three teachers who will self-censor parts of the puberty-focused content from the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (F-10) to suit their own philosophical and pedagogical assumptions.</p>en-us<p>Used by permission: the author.</p> <p>A print copy of this thesis is held in the Avondale College Library (SC Theses 371.393 H65).</p>Puberty Education; Sexuality Education; Australian Curriculum: HPE (F-10); Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical EducationThesis
