II. SET AN EXAMPLE

Direction: Write an example of Foreign Studies and Local Studies.

Foreign Studies:
 According to the study conducted by Goldfarb and Lieberman (2020), sex education taught in
schools has provided a vital role in the sexual health and the well-being of young people however, at the
time, there is little information about the effectiveness of it besides the prevention of pregnancy and
sexually transmitted disease. They have conducted 30 years of systematic literature review of research
on school-based programs in order to see the effectiveness of sex education. The researchers used ERIC,
PsycINFO and MEDLINE in order to find information that would help with the research. They were able to
find 218 relevant articles out of the 8,058 ones that have met their specific review criteria for the
systematic literature review. They have 39 relevant articles that supports their research as more than
80% that focused on pregnancy and disease prevention were excluded. To identify evidence that reflects
the full range topic area, the researchers expanded the criteria to studies outside the United States. The
results that have been gathered from the study showed that sex education was able to provide
appreciation of sexual diversity, prevention of abuse from an intimate partner, development of healthy
relationships, the prevention of child sex abuse, improvement in social and emotional learning, and
development in media literacy. The evidence gathered supports that well-constructed sex education
must start at elementary school and should also include information for the LGBTQ community in the
school curriculum. The researchers concluded that sex education has more benefits to it and provides a
positive, supporting and inclusive approaches to human sexuality.

Local Studies:

According to the study conducted by Gallao et al. (2019), sex education is a sensitive topic in the
Philippines since it is a Christian County. They had a hard time implementing sex education to the
curriculum as the people found it too sensitive a topic to be talked about. But as the cases of teenage
pregnancies and other sexually related issues keep increasing, the government of the Philippines decided
to make a move to implement sex education to the school curriculums after they realized the importance
of sexual education on the said current problems. A Deped order was passed to be able to implement
age-appropriate proper sex education for adolescents. The main objective is to figure out the student’s
current knowledge, behavior and opinions about sexual education. The study used quantitative, non-
experimental research design. The researchers used questionnaires as the instruments. As a result,
19.15% out of 846 respondents said they have already tried sexual activities, most of them have 1-2
partners (10.99%) and mostly the age of 16 (6.74%). The respondents said that they prefer masturbation
more than any of other sexual activities and those who had experience on sex feel embarrassed buying
contraceptives. It shows that the sex education of the students is generally low and their knowledge and
opinions about sex are at average level. Those who don't have experience of sex have low extent of
Sexual Behaviors but those who have experience have average. However different genders show
different results in their sexual behavior.
