“…The higher adolescents' knowledge about reproductive health, the better their attitude toward premarital sex (Safitri and Mufdilah, 2018). Comprehensive sexual education is curriculum-based education that aims to equip teenagers with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that can prepare thems for physical and social maturity (Venketsamy and Kinnear, 2020). This goal follows the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program is to improve the quality of youth by preventing free sex, the spread of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (Hanemann, 2019).…”

Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of comprehensive sexual education on improving knowledge, attitudes, and skills in preventing premarital sexual behavior. Design: Quasi-experimental pre-post-test design with a control group. Methods: The participants in this study were SMKN 1 Cibadak students. 60 respondents were divided into two groups (intervention group = 30 and control group = 30). The purposive sampling technique selected participants with the following inclusion criteria: grade 9 students who are already dating. In the intervention group, comprehensive sexual education was conducted for six sessions, consisting of six main topics. The research instrument was a knowledge, attitudes, and skills questionnaire which had previously been tested for validity and reliability using the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene test. The collected data were processed using SPSS version 25.0 and analyzed by univariate (frequency and percentage), bivariate (paired t-test and independent t-test), and multivariate (linear regression test). Results: Comprehensive sexual education significantly improved knowledge, attitudes, and skills in preventing premarital sexual behavior with a p-value = 0.000. The difference in each variable's mean and standard deviation significantly occurred between the intervention and control group with the results of knowledge ( 17

“…Two of the recurring challenges that have been identified in effecting a meaningful and inclusive sex education is inadequate teacher training and the absence of sufficient ageappropriate resources (Bouic 2019;DePalma & Francis 2014a;Johnson 2014;Venketsamy & Kinnear 2020). This problem is compounded by the fact that teachers in the intermediate phase are increasingly being expected to become generalists outside of specialised training (Woest 2018), often resulting in under-qualified teachers teaching Life Orientation (Francis 2017a).…”

“…This problem is compounded by the fact that teachers in the intermediate phase are increasingly being expected to become generalists outside of specialised training (Woest 2018), often resulting in under-qualified teachers teaching Life Orientation (Francis 2017a). Venketsamy and Kinnear (2020) and Francis (2017a) also emphasise the need for more training and resources that are suitable for foundation phase sexuality education especially. 'In a Heartbeat', the short animated film that I am focusing on in this article, is an example of such a resource.…”

Background: Given the high levels of homophobia that exist in South Africa, including in its schools and universities, it is imperative that university lecturers develop integrated and transdisciplinary curriculums to educate pre-service teachers about sexuality and to empower them to incorporate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI)-inclusive resources into their own classrooms.Aim: This study aimed to contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning by reflecting on how English literary studies can contribute to sexuality education.Setting: The context for this study is a specific undergraduate English module that forms part of the foundation phase and intermediate phase teacher education curriculums at the University of Johannesburg.Methods: This study is a self-reflective analysis of how the methodology of close reading, which is central to English literary studies, can be used to support sexuality education.Results: Despite the prevalence of homophobia in South African society, when undergraduate students in this English module (n = 356) were asked to write an essay about the representation of same-sex sexuality in a short animated film, none of them made homophobic comments.Conclusion: Paying particular attention to the analytical methodology of close reading, the author argues that a narrow focus on the storytelling techniques used within a narrative text – in a way that deliberately excludes students’ personal opinions about same-sex sexualities – offers a powerful way of facilitating a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of homophobia and heteronormativity.
