Gender and race in the sexuality education classroom: learning from the experiences of students and teachers

Article Abstract:

The dynamics of gender and race affect the outcome of sexuality education programs in terms such as the traditional gender roles of boys and girls. A qualitative and quantitative study of 20 students shows the outcomes of a high school human sexuality program. The data reveal that adolescent pregnancy can be curbed by teaching the psychological behavior components of gender relations rather than just emphasizing the traditional roles of the sexes.
