Abstract

Three articles are presented that record changes in American public schools sexuality education during the last decade of the 20th century. These articles include "Adolescent Views," which reports major shifts in the prevalence and content of school-based reproductive health education over 1988-95. Instruction is focused on HIV/AIDS prevention, contraceptive education, how to say no to sex, and condoms. In "Changing Emphases," teachers of grades 7-12 testify to a marked shift from a more balanced treatment of abstinence and protection in 1988 to a heavier reliance on abstinence in 1999. The last article, "Grades 5-6," shows that sexuality education is much less common at these grade levels than in grades 7-12. Where programs exist, they mainly cover such topics as puberty, HIV/AIDS, sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual abuse, and abstinence, while the discussion of contraceptive methods is relatively rare. Views presented in these articles will help formulate research and advocacy agendas for 2010.
性教育:我们的现状和2010年的议程。
本文介绍了三篇文章,记录了20世纪最后十年美国公立学校性教育的变化。这些文章包括"青少年观点",其中报告了1988- 1995年期间以学校为基础的生殖健康教育的流行程度和内容的重大变化。教学的重点是艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防、避孕教育、如何拒绝性行为和避孕套。在“变化的重点”中,7-12年级的教师证明了一个明显的转变,从1988年更加平衡地对待禁欲和保护到1999年更加依赖禁欲。最后一篇文章“5-6年级”表明,性教育在这些年级的普及程度远低于7-12年级。在现有的项目中,它们主要涵盖青春期、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、性行为、性传播疾病、性虐待和禁欲等主题,而关于避孕方法的讨论相对较少。这些文章中提出的观点将有助于制定2010年的研究和宣传议程。
