Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the stakeholders’ perspective on the adolescent reproductive health (ARH), sex, and sexuality education with the purpose of developing a program using a science-based approach to provide age and developmentally appropriate information for junior high school learners. A descriptive-developmental research design was used to determine any significant difference on the perception of the three groups of respondents on the adolescent reproductive health, sex, and sexuality education. Moreover, it determined the significant relationship between the students’ evaluation of the designed program as to their profile and awareness on ARH, sex, and sexuality education. The results revealed a significant difference on the perception of the respondents on the adolescent reproductive health, sex, and sexuality education. Findings also revealed significant relationship between the students’ profile, except religion and family orientation, and the effectiveness of the designed program. Therefore, the null hypothesis is partially upheld. Likewise, students’ awareness is significantly related to the perceived effectiveness of the program on adolescence reproductive health, sex, and sexuality education. The research suggests that the designed program must be aligned to the holistic development of adolescents ensuring that the information is comprehensible and relevant to their stage of life.
