(Universidad de Cuenca, 2015-06) Manzano Pauta, Diana Elisabeth; Jerves Hermida, Elena Monserrath; Universidad de Cuenca; Dirección de Investigación de la Universidad de Cuenca; DIUC
Despite advances in knowledge of sex education, lack of studies on the perspective of teachers and the importance of their role in teaching this subject to their teenage students, triggered the research presented in this paper. The study focuses on the knowledge, practices and attitudes of teachers from high schools in the city of Cuenca about sexual education of their adolescent students. We adopted a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire-based survey for data collection. The study population consisted of a sample of 180 teachers from public and private schools. Results reveal that a percentage of teachers never received training on sexual education. This lack of training is reflected in the limited engagement of teachers in addressing sex education in their classrooms, the abstinence of which leads to sexual health misconceptions.

(2018) Manzano Pauta, Diana Elisabeth; Jerves Hermida, Elena Monserrath
The recognition given to the role teachers play in sex education, and, at the same time, the apparent lack of knowledge in the area of sexuality, reflected in current literature, has led to the development of this research study. The objective of this study was to know the teachers’ perceptions about sex education in Cuenca. Specifically, we aimed to understand the assessment they have about their own knowledge, teacher satisfaction, modality, conceptions and teachers’ prejudices in classrooms. The mixed method used a sequential, explanatory strategy according to which, during the first stage, we explored the teachers’ perceptions about sex education, using a quantitative study with a survey applied to 180 teachers. Based on the results of the quantitative phase, in the second stage, the teachers’ opinions were collected through a qualitative inquiry by implementing focus group discussions. The results are shown in four categories: 1) assessment of knowledge; 2) teaching satisfaction; 3) modality; and 4) conceptions and prejudices about sex education. The categories of the study showed that sex education presents shortcomings especially related to the lack of training and knowledge in teachers, resulting in providing an education with the same prejudices that those teachers have about sexuality.
