Abstract [eng] |
Sexual awareness is an integral part of people's lives, including people with intellectual disabilities, manifesting itself through gender identity. Its formation is significantly influenced by pupils' social and educational environment and the links between them. The article aims to discern the relevance of sex education for adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities in the educational and social environment. The research identified different attitudes of parents and teachers to sex education for adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities in the educational and social environment. Teachers emphasise that sex education is a relevant problem due to pupils' sexual unawarness, learners' active sex lives, emotional and behavioural problems and the negative impact of the family and environment. Parents evaluate sex education passively: they are more inclined to pass on this function to teachers and the media. |
