The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of knowledge and attitude after sex education program in elementary school children and to provide basic information for desirable sex education direction. The questionnaires were consisted of 36 items classified into 4 categories (general characteristics, sex related characteristics, sex knowledge and sex attitude). The same questionnaires were provided twice before and after sex education program. The sex education program were provided 7 times with 7different topics which were physical changes of women, physical changes of men, psychological change during puberty, birth of new life, the role of both sex, equality of both sex and prevention and protection of sexual violence. The collected data was statistically analysed with χ^(2)-test for categorical data and with t-test for continuous variables. Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of various variables on sex knowledge. The obtained results were as follows: 1. There was differences in response between male and female students, when experienced the ganacratia or menstruation. Male student showed more positive response than female student. 62.4% of students did not have any kind of sex education at home from their parent or other relatives. The source of knowledge of sex were from school teachers(36.6%), home(29.8%) and mass media(12.2%) in order. The most frequent counselor for the physical changes during their growth of study students was their mother. 2. The knowledge of student about sex was generally increased after 7th serial sex education program. Statistical significance between before and after education were observed in 3 area of concepts such as ganacratia(p<0.01), menstruation(p<0.05) and reproduction physiology and sexual assault(p<0.001). In multiple regression analysis of knowledge about sex with various related variables, the experience of sex education at home and education level of father were positively effected, but only the former was statistically significant. 3. The attitude of student about sex after sex education were statistically significant and changed positively compared with before education. After the education, students needed the necessity of sex education more than before education(p<0.001) and they wanted the period of sex education earlier than before education(p<0.05). The attitude of student about sex violence after education was positively changed with significant higher scores of prevention and protection(p<0.001). There was no difference between before and after education in psychological sex identity related to their physical growth. The attitude of students without any ganacratia and menstruation were changed positively after education, but statistically not significant. The most wanted topic for sex education before education was pregnancy, birth and physiology, but after education, it was sexual psychology. With above results, it was confirmed that sex education program would bring increase of knowledge and positive change of attitude about sex.

김경신 ( Kyung Shin Kim ),김미경 ( Mi Kyong Kim ) 한국지적장애교육학회(구 한국정신지체아교육학회) 2014 지적장애연구 Vol.16 No.1

본 연구는 경도지적장애 학생들의 성지식 및 성태도의 인식을 분석하여 성교육 개선방안을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 광주·전남지역의 특수학교에 다니고 있는 고등학생(전공과 미설치학교)과 전공과에 다니고 있는 학생 104명이다. 그들은 기본적인 읽기와 쓰기, 의사소통이 가능하다. 성지식과 성태도에 대한 수준과 변인(성별, 학교 급별, 교육정도)에 따른 차이를 알아보았으며, 수집된 자료는 독립표본 t검증을 하였다. 그 결과, 성지식영역에서는 성건강, 성폭력, 성역할에 대한 인지수준이 낮았다. 여학생이 남학생보다 성지식을 높게 인식하였고, 고등학생이 전공과 학생들보다 성지식의 수준이 높았으며, 성교육 횟수가 많을수록 성지식의 인식수준이 높았다. 그러나 모든 영역에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 둘째, 성태도 영역에서는 대부분의 영역이 비슷한 수준으로 형성 되었다. 성별에 따라 유의미한 차이가 없었으며, 통계적으로 유의미한 차이는 아니지만 고등학생들이 전공과 학생들보다 성태도가 긍정적으로 잘 형성되어 있으며, 성교육을 많이 받은 학생일수록 성역할에 대한 태도가 바람직하게 형성되었다. 경도지적장애학생들의 성지식 및 성태도가 고등학생일수록 높고 긍정적인 것은 성교육 횟수에 직접적인 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이와같은 결론을 통해 다음과 같은 제언을 하고자 한다. 첫째, 전공과 학생들의 경우 대부분이 1년 안에 어떤 형태로든 사회로 나가게 되므로 교육과정에서 성교육의 비중을 강화해야 한다. 둘째, 성교육에서는 성건강, 성폭력, 성역할에 대한 내용들이 더 중점적으로 지도되어야 한다. 셋째, 긍정적 성태도 형성을 위해 지속적이고 주기적인 성교육의 필요성이 제기되었다. The purpose of the study was to provide improvement of sex education program by analyzing the knowledge of and attitudes towards sex among students with mild intellectual disabilities. The subjects of this study were 104 high school students and post-high school students who could read, write, and communicate on a basic level in the Specialized Vocational Program within a school for students with mild intellectual disabilities in the city of Gwangu, Jeollanamdo. We investigated the differences of variables: gender, school year, and frequency of sex education. To find out the differences, the data collected was verified by independent sample t-tests. The results of the study are as follows. First, in the area of sex knowledge, female students presented a higher awareness of knowledge than male students and high school students presented a higher awareness of knowledge than post-high school students in the Specialized Vocational Program. Additionally, the more frequently the students received sex education, the greater their general sex knowledge was. These results, however, did not indicate that frequency of sex education raised levels of awareness in all areas of sex knowledge. Second, in the area of attitudes toward sex, there were not conclusive results that expressed a significant difference across genders. High school students presented more positive attitudes towards sex than did post-high school students in the Specialized Vocational Program. Students who had received sex education more frequently viewed sex more positively relative to the students who had received sex education less frequently. It can be concluded that having greater knowledge of and a more positive attitude toward sex is directly influenced by the frequency of sex education. Sex education, therefore, should be strengthened for post-high school students in the Specialized Vocational Program, as most of them will complete the program within a year. Furthermore, instruction regarding sexual health, violence, and gender roles should be prioritize in sex education programs.

박경순 ( Park Kyoung Soon ),김민화 ( Kim Min Hwa ) 한국어린이문학교육학회 2016 어린이문학교육연구 Vol.17 No.4

성교육은 1차적으로 가정에서 이루어져야 하며 부모에 의한 영향력 또한 크다. 그러나 부모는 자녀와 성에 대한 대화를 나누거나 성교육을 실시하는데 어려움을 느끼고 있었다. 본 연구는 부모가 자녀에게 성교육을 하는 것을 돕기 위한 부모교육 프로그램을 개발하고 실시하여 그 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에는 경기 북부 소재 Y군의 H초등학교 3-6학년 학부모 28명이 참여하였고 실험집단과 비교집단에 동수로 배치되었다. 총 6회기의 부모교육 프로그램은 부모의 자신의 성에 대한 태도변화와 자녀와의 성에 대한 담화를 나누는 것에 대한 어려움을 줄이기 위한 내용으로 구성되었다. 연구결과 프로그램에 참여한 부모들의 성지식과 성태도에 유의미한 변화가 있었으며 자녀의 성교육에 대한 태도에서 성교육이 불필요하다거나 성기나 순결교육 위주의 성교육을 해야 한다는 입장이 감소하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 부모가 자녀를 위한 성교육을 하는 것을 돕기 위한 다양하고 새로운 접근들이 시도된 프로그램의 효과를 주장할 수 있었으며 향후 활성화의 필요를 제안할 수 있었다. Domestic sex education is a primary teaching method to develop knowledge on sex and positive attitudes in children. Additionally, the effectiveness of domestic sex education is better than other sex education programs. However, many parents have specific difficulties in a sex-focused conversation with their children. Based on these difficulties of parents, we developed a parent education program for educating children about sex. Twenty eight school parents of H elementary school in Y-gun, placed in the northern part of the Gyeonggi-do province were subjects in this study. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participated in the parents education program conducted from October to November, 2015. While the control group received information on sex education by a school newsletter during the same period. Both groups had a pre-test and post-test to determine the effect of the program. The test consisted of questions on sex knowledge, sex attitudes, and attitudes toward sex education. Analyzes were done by paired and independent t-tests on the variations. The following is the results of this study. First, there was a significant difference in the variation of the grade for the knowledge test between the two groups. Second, the change in the parents` attitude was significant in the experimental group; however, the attitude on sexual manner and sexual violence did not change significantly. Third, it was significant that the experimental group had positively changed providing sex education to children for two sub factors, `Unnecessary for Sex Education` and `Education in Sexual Morality`. With these results, we can conclude that the effect of the program, improving parents` sex knowledge and positive change on attitude for sex education, due to the unconventional program with included various experiences, games, discussions, role-plays, and pictures books.

생식과 발생 단원과 연계한 성교육 프로그램이 중학교 남학생들의 성지식 및 성태도에 미치는 영향

김선영 ( Sun Young Kim ),박수빈 ( Su Bin Park ) 경북대학교 과학교육연구소 2018 科學敎育硏究誌 Vol.42 No.2

본 연구는 중학교 3학년 남학생들을 대상으로 성교육 프로그램을 개발 ·적용하여 그 효과성을 살펴보았다. 성교육 프로그램은 중학교 3학년과학 ‘생식과 발생’ 단원과 연계하여 생식기관의 구조와 기능, 수정과 생명의 소중함, 낙태, 사람의 발생 과정, 성병과 에이즈, 성적 행동에 있어 자기결정의 중요성과 그 책임을 주제로 총 7차시로 개발되었다. 총 90명의 학생들이 참여하였으며, 실험집단에게는 성교육 프로그램을 적용하였고 통제집단에게는 교과서의 탐구와 읽기자료를 활용하여 강의를 통한 전통적 수업을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 사후검사에서 실험집단 학생들은 통제집단에 비해 성지식에 대한 점수가 통계적으로 유의미하게 높았다. 특히 실험집단 학생들은 성지식 검사도구의 하위 영역 중 임신 및 출산, 성건강 영역에서 통제집단에 비해 높은 점수를 나타냈다. 반면, 수업처치 후 사후검사에서 실험집단과 통제집단의 성태도에는 차이가 없었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 실험집단 학생들은 성태도 하위 영역 중 ‘자기결정과 선택’, ‘이성과 사랑’에서 통제집단에 비해 높은 점수를 나타냈다. 또한, 피어슨 상관관계 조사 결과, 성태도는 성지식과 정적 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 성태도와 가장 강한 상관관계를 나타낸 것은 ‘자기결정과 선택’이었다. 중학교 과학의 생식과 발생 단원과 연계한 성교육 프로그램을 통해 중학생들이 올바른 성지식과 성태도를 함양할 수 있을 것이다. This study developed the sex education program based on the ‘reproduction and development’ unit of the middle school science, and examined its effectiveness on middle school boys’ sex-related knowledge and attitude towards sex. The sex education program consisted of six topics of the structures and functions of generative organs, the importance of life, abortion, the human generation process, venereal diseases and AIDS, and responsibility of self-determination on sexual behavior. The results indicated that the experimental group demonstrated the statistically higher scores of the knowledge on sex than the control groups’ scores, especially in the subcategories of ‘pregnancy and delivery’ and ‘sex-related health’. However, both groups did not display any statistical difference on the attitude toward sex. In the subcategory of the attitude towards sex, the experimental group showed the statistically higher scores on ‘self-determination and selection’ and ‘a health relationship’. In addition, the Pearson correlation results indicated the strongest relationship between the attitude toward sex and ‘the self-determination and selection’. These results implicated that the sex education program related to the unit of reproduction and development in the middle school science helps the middle school boys develop the better knowledge and attitude towards sex.

이규은(Lee, Kyoo Eun) 학습자중심교과교육학회 2022 학습자중심교과교육연구 Vol.22 No.6

목적 본 연구는 대학생이 지니고 있는 성지식과 성의식을 알아봄으로써 올바른 성문화를 정립해 나가는 방안을 모색하고, 대학생이 요구하는 성교육 내용이 무엇인지를 파악하여 성교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 활용할 목적으로 추진하였다. 방법 자작 설문지를 사용하여 2021년 6월 2일부터 6월 18일까지 경기도 소재 D대학교 학생 494명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 자료를 수집⋅분석하였고, 자료처리는 PASW STATISTICS 18 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계를 산출하였다. 연구에 참여하는 일부 학생을 대상으로 인터뷰 조사를 실시하여 연구결과를 보완하는 과정을 거쳤다. 결과 조사결과 대학생의 성지식은 성생활에 필요한 구체적인 정보보다는 생리학적 측면의 내용이 주류를 이루고 있으며, 성적 욕망이나 욕구 중심의 정보에 치중되어 있었다. 또한 성지식에 대한 오개념, 신체이미지에 대한 부정적 성인식, 성문제 해결중심의 성교육 요구 등이 문제점으로 드러났다. 결론 대학생의 성의식은 개방적인 성향을 지니고 있고, 성에 대한 명확한 기준과 정확한 지식으로 성적 자기결정권의 행사를 중요하게 여기고 있었다. 대학생의 성교육에 대한 요구는 성폭력이나 성추행과 같은 성문제 사태에 따른 대처법과 결혼이나 사랑, 우정 등과 같은 관계적 성, 성 관련 다양한 사회문제에 대한 학습을 요구하였으며 지식 전달중심보다는 토론중심의 성교육을 희망하였다.
