The relevance of the research The aim of the program Preparation for Family Life and Sexuality Education is to enforce the independent and vital change of generations grounded on mutual care and responsibility between members, to ensure existence of family, to decrease the number of early sexual intercourses and to increase the responsibility for one’s own sexual behaviour. It is possible to expect qualitative implementation of the program, if pedagogues will ascertain possibilities and abilities of a child, involve him into the activity corresponding to his interests, and seek for the link between the child and his contemporaries. Hereby we can prevent the spread of sex “culture” and open new facilities for development of family values: inner maturity of a personality, preparation for marriage, paternity and maternity. The subject of the research: Qualitative implementation of the program Preparation for Family Life and Sexuality Education in a comprehensive secondary school. The aim of the research: to analyse what factors determine the quality of implementation of the program “Preparation for Family Life and Education of Sexuality”. The objectives of the research: 1. To analyse theoretical (sociological, pedagogical, psychological, philosophical) literature and to validate the conception of quality of the program Preparation for Family Life and Sexuality Education implementation and its importance for the quality of education by applying the principles of prevailing quality management. 2. To perform the empirical research and establish the factors determining possibilities of the qualitative sexuality education and preparation for family life in the activity of a class tutor, in formal and non-formal education. The scope of the research: 234 persons participated in the research: 185 pupils (of 11th - 12th classes) from Siauliai City Didzdvaris Gymnasium, S.Daukantas Gymnasium and Aukstabalis Secondary School, and 49 pedagogues from the comprehensive secondary schools of Siauliai, Pakruojis , Kedainiai towns. We presented 8 questions in the questionnaire for the pupils of 11 – 12 classes, and 7 questions in the questionnaire for the pedagogues. In total, 275 questionnaires were distributed and 234 were returned. Conclusions: Our hypothesis that the program Preparation for Family Life and Sexuality Education, if implemented qualitatively by invoking formal and non-formal education, educates a moral, mature, and independent personality, capable to think critically and resist influence of mass culture was proved only partially. Although, the pedagogues seek to integrate the program to the utmost number of sessions, though the lack of methodical literature and competencies, the incapability to communicate determine that not all provisions of the program are observed and the integration of the topics of the program into the pedagogical activity is insufficient. The program PFLSE gives no the expected result just yet. |
