  ABSTRACT This study explored Norwegian student teachers’ experiences of a three-day interdisciplinary Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) programme, grounded in a pedagogy of discomfort. The programme, delivered as part of a pedagogical education practical, comprised realistic case scenario discussions, interdisciplinary teaching plan development, and collaborative reflections. Using a mixed-method survey, we analysed responses from 18 student teachers specialising in Physical Education, Social Studies, and Science who participated in the programme. The findings highlight how interdisciplinarity and the use of a pedagogy of discomfort facilitated critical reflection and deeper understanding of CSE topics. Student teachers reported enhanced confidence and teaching strategies, emphasising the importance of realistic case scenarios and collaborative discussions. However, they also identified key barriers to CSE provision in schools, including structural limitations, cultural sensitivities, and resistance from colleagues, parents, and pupils. Integrating a pedagogy of discomfort into an interdisciplinary framework for CSE provision could be valuable in helping future educators develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to address sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in diverse educational contexts.

  Background: Previous research has shown that people with intellectual disabilities have limited sexual knowledge, which can be essential for developing positive sexuality. This study aimed to check the validity and reliability of an assessment tool (SexKunn) for measuring the sexual knowledge of people with intellectual disabilities in Norway. Further, we aimed to identify potential knowledge gaps among the participants and highlight their potential impact Methods: 37 people with intellectual disabilities completed one assessment. 20 participants then completed a retest. Clinicians’ (n=23) views on the assessment tool were measured to obtain face validity. Positive and negative agreement analysis was used to identify potential dimensions in the data. Results: A weighted Cohen’s kappa for the test and retest of the overall scores was considered to be substantial. The clinicians described an acceptable face validity regarding high positive value scores and low negative burden scores. They also suggested improvements. The study identified that the participants lacked knowledge about female genitals, hygiene, appropriate touching/sexual acts with friends/intimate partners, and contraception. Conclusions: The SexKunn is a feasible assessment tool to measure sexual knowledge in people with intellectual disabilities. A lack of sexual knowledge of people with intellectual disabilities may violate their sexual rights.

  Forslagene om å skrote lærernormen og fjerne øremerkede midler til toppbemanning i barnehage er på kollisjonskurs med profesjonsutøvernes fortellinger om knappe ressurser, og med forskningsbidrag i feltet.

  I kapitlet undersøker vi hvordan lærere kan ivareta skolens danningsmandat i arbeidet med det tverrfaglige temaet folkehelse og livsmestring. Ved bruk av fiktive case gir vi eksempler på hvordan dette kan skje i praksis, og casene drøftes med utgangspunkt i Klafkis teori om kategorial danning. Casene bygger på områder omtalt i det tverrfaglige temaet, og viser hvordan skoler kan bygge bro mellom innholdet i overordnet del og fagplanene. De viser også hvordan skolens ansatte kan arbeide med folkehelse og livsmestring i tråd med skolens danningsmandat.
