Practices of Sexuality Education for Children in China’s Rural Schools: Types, Challenges and Strategies ()
ABSTRACT
When research focuses were mostly on urban schools, it is a great necessity of turning attention to sorting out the types and challenges of child sexuality education practices in China’s rural schools and putting forward corresponding strategies. It is found that there are generally three practice types which are type of attaching to physiological courses, type of task-driven sexuality education part-time provided by basic subjects teachers, and type of class delivery by exterior social organizations. They are all facing practical challenges of lack of teaching resources, one-sided teaching contents, and poor educational sustainability. To cope with these challenges, highlighting the subject position of children, strengthening the construction of child sexuality education resources, promoting the concept and practice mode of comprehensive sexuality education and ensuring the sustainability of sexuality education courses or activities are crucial practical strategies.
