Abstract

In the past decade, several states have introduced comprehensive sexuality education standards for public schools, but the impact is unknown because mechanisms to monitor adherence and improve quality have been lacking. In this study, we pilot-tested an approach for high school students to assess sexuality education standards mandated by the California Healthy Youth Act. We introduced a 15-minute online survey administered at the conclusion of sexuality education instruction. Results from thirteen Los Angeles high schools indicated that the approach was acceptable, feasible, and valid. It provided actionable data about which standards were being followed and whether the classroom environment was conducive to learning.

摘要

在过去十年中，几个州为公立学校引入了全面的性教育标准，但由于缺乏监督遵守情况和提高质量的机制，其影响尚不清楚。在这项研究中，我们对高中生进行了试点测试，以评估《加州健康青年法案》规定的性教育标准。我们介绍了在性教育教学结束时进行的 15 分钟在线调查。来自洛杉矶 13 所高中的结果表明该方法是可以接受的、可行的和有效的。它提供了有关遵循哪些标准以及课堂环境是否有利于学习的可操作数据。
