Abstract
SynopsisA revised manual (1977) for teachers of sex education by the National Swedish Board o f Education was made available in English in 1982. The aims, methods and contents suggested for each age group in Sweden are critically evaluated by the authors in the light of research, developmental trends and societal changes experienced by Swedish children and adolescents. The article is in 2 parts, Part I covering Goals and Developmental trends, and Part II covering Contents and Methods, and related matters. It was found that the topics chosen were generally consistent with the criteria set out by the Swedish authorities, and also consistent with trends and changes evident world wide among Western democracies. As such it is assessed as a relevant model for Australia, especially in those states considering the provision o f sex education in primary schools.
