Abstract

Purpose: This study was aimed to examine the effects of sexual education programs focusing on media literacy on teachers as a pilot study. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study and a total of 81 teachers (intervention n=42, control n=39) participated. Results: A sexual education program focusing on media literacy was conducted in the form of an 18-hour structured education module. The results were mainly assessed by measuring the teachers' pre- and post-study awareness and self-efficacy related to sexual media literacy. Awareness related to sexual media literacy of the intervention group (86.3) showed greater improvement than that of the control group (76.8). Also, self-efficacy related to sexual media literacy among the intervention group (20.1) showed greater improvement than that of the control group (17.4). Conclusion: The results highlight the effects of sexual education programs focusing on media literacy, which can improve teachers' competence in sexual education.
