Abstract

This study was designed to provide information about sex education teachers by measuring their depth in teaching and their attitudes toward sex education. More specifically, this research was concerned with:

  1. The relationships between teachers’ marital status, number of years married, gender, parenthood, course hours earned beyond the bachelor’s degree, current involvement in personal sex education study, source of personal sex knowledge, size of school, undergraduate college major, and depth in teaching sex education.

  2. The relationship between teachers’ marital status, number of years married, gender, parenthood, course hours earned beyond the bachelor’s degree, current involvement in personal sex education study, source of personal sex knowledge, size of school, undergraduate college major, and sex education liberalism score.

  3. The differences between teachers’ and administrators’ attitudes toward sex education.

The subjects in this study were the principals and sex education teachers (80) of 24 schools selected by a stratified random sample. These schools within a fifty-mile radius of Lincoln, Nebraska, were stratified to represent the number of schools in the four athletic classes. This stratification resulted in six schools in each athletic class.
