Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative study was to seek to understand and describe the experiences of 18 preservice physical and health education teachers taking part in the published Vision of You (VOY) sexual health program. Data from reflective writing responses were collected and analyzed inductively, revealing three themes: (1)“I feel better prepared to teach sexual health in my classroom:” Preservice teachers’ views on VOY as a training and instruction tool, (2) “It does not have to be some huge, awkward thing:” Preservice teachers’ getting comfortable with the uncomfortable, and (3)“VOY changed a bias in my head I didn’t know I had:” Preservice teachers’ new knowledge and understanding of inclusive sexual health education. Based on these findings, the meaning of the VOY program was evident in the data, supporting its value as a mechanism for learning and engagement, with clear implications for practice in training preservice teachers who will be responsible for teaching sexual health content.
