Ungagging the child : students perceptions of gender-related issues in a primary school using a participatory learning approach
This essay seeks to address three questions: (1) what gender related issues do primary school students identify as problems for themselves in the school context, (2) why do we need to ask the child for their viewpoint, (3) and how can we effectively hear the voice of the child? By describing the student as subject, object, and participant, the author seeks to listen to year 6 primary school students' views on gender as an issue that affects them in the school context.
