- W1581931916 abstract "Amartya Sen has sought to refocus development theory towards the ultimate goal of freedom, and has in this context emphasised the importance of education in building human capabilities to lead the lives they have reason to value. However, research suggesting that genderbased violence is prevalent in the South African school system represents a paradox as it reveals that years of schooling can contribute to deprivation and capability failure rather than enhanced human capabilities and development. Literature reviewed for this dissertation suggests that over and above the lost educational opportunities due to gender-based violence in schools, it can cause long-term and even terminal health damages and contribute to increased society-wide levels of violence with substantial socio-economic costs. Anti-violence interventions among learners have been found to have minimal effect unless they are supported by the overall school culture. However, educators who are expected to ensure a safe school environment are not only responding inadequately to cases of gender-based violence between learners, but some are personally engaging in acts of gender violence towards learners. Recognising the significant role of educators, both as part of the problem and as key to any solution, this dissertation seeks to improve understanding of the context within which interventions at the level of educators may be possible. This study explores what previous research have identified as common attitudes, beliefs and knowledge gaps among educators in schools with high levels of gender-based violence. Findings include confusion about the legal and policy framework as it applies to such cases, a lack of will to acknowledge the problem and inadequate understanding of gender-based violence. The construction of men and women as essential opposites has been identified as an underlying reason for inadequate acknowledgement and understanding. Research on these dimensions forms the basis for a study using survey and focus group methodologies to assess the prevalence of such attitudes and knowledge gaps of issues around gender-based violence among student teachers about to finalise their studies and start their professional lives as educators. The data collected suggests that the student teachers will vary considerably in their ability to respond to cases of gender-based violence. A more concerted effort is required in order to prepare student teachers for the problem of genderbased violence and enable them to create more gender-friendly school environments. Possible routes for improvement are suggested." @default.
