Sua problemática se organiza na busca da concepção de professores da Rede Municipal de Educação de Presidente Prudente sobre sexualidade, bem como sobre a responsabilidade na Educação Sexual dos alunos. Busca ainda verificar o significado que as professoras atribuíram a um curso de extensão universitária on-line sobre Sexualidade e Adolescência em que participaram e verificar se houve ações de educação sexual na sua prática educativa, após 18 meses da participação no curso. O referencial teórico se baseia no conceito de professor crítico-reflexivo, discutido por vários autores, e na idéia de aplicar este conceito à educação sexual. A pesquisa foi realizada com treze professoras de 3ªs séries da Rede Municipal de Educação de Presidente Prudente-SP, de onze unidades escolares diferentes. As professoras participantes da pesquisa foram incluídas em um curso via on-line, na plataforma Moodle, realizado e coordenado por profissionais do Grupo EDUSEX – Educação Sexual do CEAD – Centro de Educação à Distancia da UDESC - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, denominado “Conversando sobre Sexualidade Adolescente”, numa parceria interinstitucional entre FCT-UNESP / NUDISE – Núcleo de Diversidade Sexual na Educação e UDESC... / This Master Thesis is an investigation linked to the master's program in Education at FCT / UNESP, and is in search line: Public Policy, School Organization and Teacher Education. Its problem is organized in the pursuit of conceptions of teachers from public schools in Presidente Prudente about sexuality education, as well as their responsibility in the sexual education of students. It also seeks to check the meaning that the teachers attributed to a university extension course on-line on Sexuality and Adolescents that they attended and see if there are actions of sex education in their educational practice, after 18 months of the course. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of critical-reflective teachers, discussed by several authors, and the idea of applying this concept to sex education. The research was conducted with thirteen teachers of 3d graders of the Municipal Education in Presidente Prudente-SP, from eleven different school units. The teachers participating in the survey were included in a course via online, in Moodle, conducted and coordinated by professionals of the EDUSEX - CEAD Sexual Education - Center for Distance Education at UDESC - State University of Santa Catarina, called Talking about Adolescent Sexuality, an institutional partnership between FCT-UNESP / NUDIS - Center for Sexual Diversity in Education and UDESC...

Contudo, ela não ocorre de forma efetiva. A relutância do poder legislativo e a omissão do executivo, subalternizados pelo conservadorismo, têm responsabilidade central para a manutenção desse cenário. Desse modo, haja vista que a educação formal é um espaço estratégico para o trabalho com temas voltados para a sexualidade, as ações nesse ambiente devem ser incentivadas e garantidas pelo poder público. Esses pressupostos são assumidos pela presente pesquisa como os pilares da intervenção que se pleiteia. Nesse contexto, a investigação pautou-se no objetivo de analisar os materiais didáticos sobre sexualidade e as concepções de professores/as da rede estadual de ensino de São Paulo sobre a educação sexual. A investigação contemplou duas fases de coleta de dados, que se aproximam da pesquisa bibliográfica e do levantamento de campo. Para a análise dos dados, fez-se uso de ferramentas metodológicas próprias na fenomenologia, como as unidades de significado. A investigação revelou que muitas iniciativas docentes estão preocupadas com a implementação da educação sexual nas escolas e que os/as docentes estão comprometidos/as com as suas demandas, porém, as práticas de sala de aula ainda são incipientes e superficiais. O trabalho explicita as variáveis envolvidas nessa contradição e propõe soluções. / Sex education at school comprises a variable key for the critical development and political and social emancipation for the students. However, in fact, it is not effective. The reluctance of the legislative and the omission of the executive, subordinated by conservatism, have primary responsibility for the maintenance of that condition. Considering the formal education has a strategic role of working with themes related to sexuality, some actions in that area should be encouraged and guaranteed by the Government. These assumptions are made by this research as pillars of intervention that are pleaded. In that context, the research was based on the objective of analyzing the educational material about sexuality and studies made by teachers that work with sex education in Public School System in Sao Paulo State. This study was inspired by post-critical theoretical work and its analysis was based on own methodological tools of phenomenology. Data were collected through a literature search and a field survey and structured by scattered questionnaires virtually. Research has showed that many enterprises are concerned with the implementation of sex education and that the teachers are committed to its demands, although the practice is still poor. This work explains the variables that are involved and it proposes some solutions.

In this work I have been focusing on the educational use of textbooks, especially natural history textbooks, for sex education by the teachers of selected schools. First, I conducted a theoretical introduction to the issue of textbooks and teaching sex education. Then my interviews with teachers examined how sex education is taught and whether the teachers use their textbooks as teaching aid. I have thoroughly analysed these interviews, from which I then draw my conclusions: how textbooks are used as a teaching aid and the impact of the quality of textbooks on their use. Furthermore, I conducted my subjective evaluation of the textbooks that teachers said they use. I compared this review to the evaluation of teachers, so I could carry out a discussion of these views. As the result of my work I find that some of the teachers participating in my research use the textbook as teaching aid, some not. Their decision is not affected by the quality of the topic in the textbooks. Of much greater importance is the form of sex education the teacher chooses and how the topic is being explained.

Tax compliance varies across sociodemographic categories. However, research on the relationships between compliance and age, sex, education as well as income level shows inconsistent results, both regarding the direction of the relationship and its size. The current meta-analyses target to merge findings in survey studies on age, sex, education, and income and estimate the strength of the impact on compliance by taking into account geographical regions. In four meta-analyses, comprising 459 samples (N = 614,286) from 111 countries published between 1958 and 2012, average estimated effect sizes were small, ranging from r = 0.12 for the relationship between compliance and age, r = 0.06 for sex, r = -0.02 for education to r = -0.04 for income. These effects are more pronounced in Western countries. It thus appears sociodemographic characteristics have little impact on compliance, but nevertheless should be controlled for in tax research.

Adolescents with Intellectual disabilities (ID) have the same sexual and physiological developments as typically developing adolescents, including the same sexual feeling and sexual needs. However, because of cognitive limitations and lack of self-care abilities, they have a higher risk of sexual assault than others. As all other youth they need sex education to prevent sexual exploitation and to learn how to protect themselves. Since parents often are the primary caregivers of adolescents with ID, and they are also the primary educators of adolescents’ sexual education, parents play a crucial role in the development of adolescents’ sexual behavior. It is vital to understand what parents’ perceptions on sex education are. In the past, there have been few studies on the perceptions of parents on sexual education for adolescents with ID. Therefore, this paper aims to explore their perceptions through a systematic literature review. A series of electronic databases were searched, and three studies were identified for the review based on inclusion criteria. Content analysis was used to synthesize the results of the included studies. Findings show that mothers want to provide appropriate sex education for their children, including how to protect themselves and education on inappropriate sexual behavior, and family planning is not included in sex education, and believed that school could be the best choice regarding on providing sex education. The study also found that mothers have barriers to providing sexual education, such as lack resources and supports, poor knowledge about the sexuality, lack of confidence and sexuality is a very private matter. But there are also facilitators, the important role and responsibility of the mothers in providing sex education in the family, and the open and honest way in which the mother communicates with her children about sexual issues. These findings will help teachers or practitioners to consider the situation of parents when developing sex education programmes for adolescents with ID.

Introduction In 2015, compared to the national rates, Tennessee had the 9th highest teen birth rate, 15th highest rate of reported cases of chlamydia, and 14th highest rate of reported cases of gonorrhea. Sex education that includes instruction on contraception along with abstinence has been found to delay sexual initiation, decrease number of sexual partners, and increase condom or contraceptive use. These behavioral choices by young people can help reduce teen pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Introduction of contraception topics in earlier grades can equip young people with necessary tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies and STIs before they become sexually active. We explored the grades in which sex education providers taught topics such as birth control, condoms, and abstinence and the lowest grade at which they prefer to teach these topics. We then compared providers’ responses with responses from ETSU college students who had their sex education in TN. Methods To obtain information from sex education providers in TN public schools, we sent a recruitment email or letter with a weblink to a web-based survey from April to June 2017, to 3,249 potential providers. Of all potential providers, 509 completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 15.7%. Of those who completed the survey, final analysis included 137 providers who taught sex education in the 2015-2016 school year to any of grades 5 through 12 students. To get information from recipients of sex education in TN schools, a convenience sample of ETSU college students were asked to complete a survey using the ETSU SONA system in Fall 2017 semester. Of 385 students who completed the survey, final analysis included 216 (56.1%) students who were between ages 18-24 and attended the grade in which they had most of their sex education in TN. Provider and student surveys had similar items on grades in which sex education topics were taught and the lowest grade in which they would want these topics to be covered. Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive tests. Results Most providers (83.9%) taught abstinence by grade 12, and 37.2% had taught it by middle school (i.e. at or before 8th grade). Similarly, many students mentioned that abstinence was taught by 12th grade (92.1%) and by 8th grade (62.5%). Whereas, fewer providers taught topics, such as, birth control (65.0%), how to use condoms (22.6%), how to use and where to get birth control (31.4%), and much fewer providers taught these topics by middle school (17.5%, 8.0%, 8.8%, respectively). Most students expressed that these topics be taught by 12th grade (97.7%, 97.2%, 96.3%, respectively), and over two-thirds preferred that these topics be taught by middle school (71.8%, 67.6%, 63.9%, respectively). Also, about half of providers expressed that these topics be taught by middle school (68.6%, 46.7%, 51.8%, respectively). Conclusion This study finds that students want contraception topics to be taught in earlier grades, and that providers also prefer to teach these topics earlier. Future research should focus on factors that can enable providers to teach these topics in earlier grades.
