CONTENT, FORMS AND TECHNOLOGIES OF STUDENTS’ SEXUAL EDUCATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

A comparative analysis of sexual education formation in the leading countries of the world is conducted in the article. Four main periods of sexual education genesis have been distinguished, their features and characteristic emphases in the formation of students’ competences during each of these periods have been analyzed. In particular, one-sided approach to solving the problems of sexual education is shown, namely the emphasis on sexual aspects of it, ignoring the connection of sexuality with marriage and childbirth. The importance of sexual revolution in changing the approaches to solving the problems of sexual education in educational institutions is emphasized. The transformation of moral and family values, the loosening of social control over the pre-marital behavior of young people, the legalization of same-sex love, the separation of sexuality and reproduction, the normalization of unproductive sexuality – these and other realities of life have pushed the governments of many foreign countries to revise the attitude towards the sexual education of schoolchildren. Different approaches to the content, forms and technologies of sexual education, from abstinence from sexual relations before marriage to radical sexual education with the domination of sexual socialization, have been singled out. The key problem in the content of sexual education development, namely the identification of the relationship between the study of the issues of sexuality and the idea of teaching the abstinence from premarital sexual contacts, have been determined. At the beginning of the XXI century a tendency for the replacement of a special subject on sexual education by means of integration of the problems of sexual education into other school subjects based on the principle of multidisciplinarity is observed. The content of sexual education in contemporary pedagogical systems of the West is analyzed, the focus is on issues such as attitudes towards sexuality, the formation of a contraceptive culture of the youth, gender aspects of sexual education, homosexuality, and others. The content should be implemented via the use of a variety of training strategies and technologies, namely, media, interactive technologies, video, project work. The necessity of using certain elements of foreign experience in educational institutions of Ukraine has been substantiated.

Is HIV Screening in the Labor and Delivery Unit Feasible and Acceptable in Low-Income Settings?

Despite the downward revision of the estimated national prevalence of HIV infection in India from 5.7 million to 2.5 million in UNAIDS' December 2007 report, the burden faced in providing national HIV prevention and care remains massive [1]. The National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) of India estimated that some 60% of cases of HIV infection are found in rural areas, where about half of India's citizens live [2]. In rural and urban areas, women of reproductive age are principally at risk for HIV acquisition through marriage—this risk reflects their husband's premarital behavior and sexual concurrency during marriage [3,4]. Therefore, NACO has focused on the expansion of voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services to increase early case-finding, in large part through antenatal care in conjunction with the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV during labor and delivery [2]. What is the impact of these national policies on HIV testing during pregnancy in India? Sinha and colleagues found that out of a random sample of 400 recently pregnant women in rural Maharashtra State, where sentinel surveillance suggested an antenatal HIV rate of at least 1%, only 3.3% of women reported receiving VCT during pregnancy [5]. This exceptionally low rate of antenatal testing for HIV was attributed to two identified barriers: (1) lack of discussion of HIV testing by antenatal care providers; and (2) women's lack of awareness of HIV testing, including VCT. Interestingly, of the 13 participants reporting VCT during antenatal care, 12 received it through the private sector—thus, only one woman (in 400) reported receiving the Indian standard of care for HIV testing during pregnancy through a government clinic. In this issue of PLoS Medicine, Nitika Pant Pai and colleagues evaluated the uptake of 24-hour rapid HIV testing of women in a labor and delivery center in a rural, tertiary teaching hospital in Sevagram, Maharashtra State, India [6]. The research team wanted to determine if offering round-the-clock rapid HIV testing would be feasible, lead to increased uptake of testing, and identify women in labor who could be provided optimal PMTCT. Linked Research Article This Perspective discusses the following new study published in PLoS Medicine: Pai NPP, Barick R, Tulsky JP, Shivkumar PV, Cohan D, et al. (2008) Impact of round-the-clock, rapid oral fluid HIV testing of women in labor in rural India. PLoS Med 5(5): e92. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0050092 Nitika Pant Pai and colleagues report the results of offering a round-the-clock rapid HIV testing program in a rural labor ward setting in India.

Neighborhood, Family, and Work: Influences on the Premarital Behaviors of Adolescent Males

The investigation also systematically compares the effects of related personal and neighborhood traits in multilevel analysis including employment income education welfare receipt family composition and race/ethnicity. Micro-level data on respondents personal and family characteristics come from the 1988 National Survey of Adolescent Males a nationally-representative survey of 1880 never-married noninstitutionalized males aged 15-19 years. Blacks and Hispanics were oversampled. Each participant was interviewed for one hour on sexual and contraceptive behaviors family and personal background knowledge and attitudes about pregnancy AIDS and other risks. Neighborhood data derive from the 1980 census. Analysis found young men who worked more hours to be more sexually active and more likely to have caused a pregnancy. Higher neighborhood unemployment rates were also independently associated with a greater risk of impregnation. Greater financial resources at the personal level may therefore enable teen males to attract more partners thereby increasing their risk of impregnating a female sex partner. Comparatively limited economic opportunities at the community level also seem to increase the risks of paternity.

Change in Sexual Attitudes and Behavior of College Students from 1965 to 1980: A Research Note

This study is a third quintennial replication of Robinson et al.'s 1965 survey of premarital behavior and attitudes among college students. This study shows that: (1) there is a continued but asymptotic increase in reported premarital behavior among both men and women; (2) there are fewer differences in attitudes and behavior between men and women; and (3) some students have replaced the traditional double standard with a double standard. The new double standard is characterized by greater restrictions imposed on the behavior of others than on self The differences between the old and the double standard is that each sex imposes it on the other. Thus, an increase is observed in the view among students that premarital behavior is immoral and sinful, while at the same time reported behavior is at higher levels for both males and females than at any other time studied. This is characterized as sexual contradiction.

Love as a Factor in Marital Decision in Contemporary Poland

Premarital behavior and attitudes in contemporary Poland are presented, with emphasis on the social sphere in which future spouses become acquainted and on motivations in marital decisions. The diminishing parental role in marital choices of young people and abatement of the economic factor in marital selections for traditional families are discussed. Analysis is based on 1972 press survey results from a sample of 1,648 respondents to the Warsaw Youth Daily and from additional data. Familial, economic and emotional motivational concepts as well as traditional, universal and modern values in mate selection are examined. The most important variable is the respondent’s sex. When men and women give reasons for marriage, their opinions differ significantly. When speaking of themselves, both sexes claim similar motives for marriage. Each sex indicates a sexstereotypic reason for marital choice but the respondents’ marital decisions seem to be far from being based on a sex stereotype. The respondants themselves do not consider their own decisions as being based on sex stereotypes, possibly indicating that sex stereotypes, may no longer be taken for granted as a basis for marital decision. The main factor in modern marital decision is “love”, while the primary goal seems to be satisfying emotional desires.
