| Beschreibung: | This paper contributes to research on in-service teachers’ professional development by exploring how pedagogical objects may facilitate an orienting of practice within sexuality education. The material analysed came from interviews and observations with teacher advisors working in four different municipalities in Sweden. These were thematically analysed and discussed using Sara Ahmed’s concepts of orientation and orientation device. Findings reveal how the professional development of in-service teachers is undertaken by teacher advisors through a process of recycling pedagogical objects. Because these pedagogical objects direct the practice of how to deliver sexuality education in school, the process of recycling contributes to maintenance of a pedagogical ideal of ‘talking’ within Swedish sexuality education, while at the same time, slowly adjusting the ‘how to talk’ so as to meet current needs. For teachers, this means that delivering a state-of-the-art or an up-to-date sexuality education, requires ongoing professional development. |
