Abstract

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.

본 연구는 중학교 3학년 남학생들을 대상으로 성교육 프로그램을 개발 적용하여 그 효과성을 살펴보았다. 성교육 프로그램은 중학교 3학년 과학 '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.
