Theory And Practice Of Teacher Professional Development Based On Collaboration

Teenagers in their adolescence are generally lack of sex knowledge but are very curious about it. The contradictions between the facts that they are physically reaching sexual maturity but physiologically remain immature are expressed in many aspects of their daily lives. It leads to a number of psychological problems and improper sexual behaviors, which have negative impact on their growth and development. This issue has drawn much attention from the school and the society and the study of teenager sex-psychology has become one of the most important subjects in adolescence education.This study is focused on the general characteristics and existing problems in the sex-psychology of secondary vocational school students. It is based upon a questionnaire on sex-psychology of 529 secondary vocational school students. This questionnaire asks questions in five different areas: sexual knowledge, sexual behavior (in broad sense), sex psychology, sexual interest, and sex openness. The questionnaires are anonymous.The research result shows that the overall score for sex knowledge is 63.86%, among which sexual ethics has the highest score and the score for sexual knowledge and psychology is relatively low. 34.13% of the students have had certain sexual experience (in broad sense), among which the percentage for implicit sex behaviors is higher than aggressive sex behaviors. In general, 16.45% of the students have psychological problems about sex. Sexual interests from high to low are self-attractiveness to the opposite sex, physical changes in puberty, discussion of problems related to sex, and sex-related books, magazines, programs and web sites. The study shows that students have certain sexual openness. The difference in sexual openness is related to student's ages, grades, majors, hometowns, and the educational background of their parents.
