The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors which shape the Grade 5 learners' sexual identities within the context of HIV/AIDS. Data responses were obtained from Grade 5 learners within 5 primary schools in the Western Cape and the data collection strategies included questionnaires, focus group discussions, individual interviews and unobtrusive observations. The findings suggest that Grade 5 learners construct their sexual identities through different and differing influences within complex discursive spaces. These influences, embedded in predominantly heterosexual discourses, seem to perpetuate a distinct behavioural trend which masculinise and feminise students' sexual identities in particular ways that work to reinscribe the dominant discourse and its concomitant social practices. 2015-01-06T19:01:47Z 2015-01-06T19:01:47Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MEd http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11653 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
