The rapid rise of online pornography has become a real challenge for educators dealing with the daily use of online pornography amongst schoolboys. Many researchers stress that online pornography has become a significant factor in gender socialization, reinforcing traditional constructions of men's power over women in terms of hierarchy, objectification, submission and violence. There is a lack of educational discourse on how schools react or otherwise respond to the use of online pornography. In this paper, the case of participatory action research, implemented in one Lithuanian school, is presented as an educational approach for critical consciousness education of schoolboys with regards to online pornography. The outset of critical consciousness education is the students' own experiences and lifeworlds wherein students and educators can jointly recognize and challenge the oppressed subjectivities and oppressive circumstances.

Résumé Cette recherche a utilisé une enquête exploratoire à fin ouverte, une immersion et une recherche autodirigée dans l'expérience active selon le guide de recherche heuristique de Moustakas (1990) et l'analyse de contenu de Patton (2002), Mayring (2000) et Flick (1989) pour enquêter sur et découvrir des expériences personnelles vécues de femmes dans la prostitution. Pour que la pratique du soutien psycho-social et de l'assistance aux clients soit efficace, il faut les comprendre. Comme Rogers (1961) le note, une compréhension sensible emphatique des sentiments et communications tels qu'ils apparaissent à l'autre personne à ce moment, ou carde de référence interne, est une condition essentielle à un changement de personnalité constructif. En se concentrant sur les expériences personnelles subjectives des femmes dans la prostitution depuis leur enfance jusqu'à l'âge adulte, cette étude examine les obstacles qu'elles ont rencontrés, les relations et les ressources avant qu'elles ne soient concernées par la prostitution. Cette étude s'est principalement concentrée sur les obstacles qu'elles ont rencontrés en grandissant , examinant comment ces femmes géraient l'expérience vécue d'être-au-monde. Le but de cette étude était de fournir une « voix » aux femmes dans la prostitution en révélant ce que cela signifie que d'être une prostituée . Les expériences personnelles de femmes dans la prostitution étaient comprises à travers leur interprétation subjective transmise. Elles ont verbalement « revécu » leur expérience à nouveau. Dans cette étude a été impliquée aussi la réintégration de connaissance dérivée de découverte et de synthèse de l'intuition des chercheurs et de compréhension tacite en dépeignant les participants à la recherche en tant que personnes entières.
