(Ani Yayincilik, 2021-03-31) Ozgun, Songul Yasemin; Capri, Burhan
Purpose: In the pre-school period, an active sense of curiosity, the most important developmental feature of children, is directed toward sexuality. In this context, it was aimed to develop a questionnaire to measure the sexual knowledge of children and to develop a sexuality education program based on the information level on sexual issues, and cognitive and emotional readiness of children aged 60-72 months. Research Methods: In the first stage, a questionnaire aimed at identifying sexuality knowledge level of 45 items was designed, and in the second stage, contents of 11 sessions on sexuality education program were created. For the content validity study of the questionnaire and the sexuality education program, 10 specialists were involved in data analysis. To determine the feasibility and the scoring criteria for the sexual knowledge questionnaire, a pilot scheme was carried out with 18 children aged 60-72 months attending the preschool institution. Findings: After consultation with a specialist opinion, a questionnaire for sexuality knowledge composed of 45 items was reduced to 24 items and the sexuality education program composed of 11 sessions was reduced to 8 sessions. According to the research findings, the content validity results of both the sexuality education program (KG(I) over dot >= KGO (0.62)), and the questionnaire on sexuality knowledge level (KG(I) over dot (0.63)>= KGO) were statistically significant. Implications for Research and Practice: It is thought that the sexuality education program prepared for pre-school children is suitable for pre-school programs. It will also contribute to the understanding of how the use of the questionnaire for sexuality knowledge can assess the effectiveness of sexuality education programs. (C) 2021 Ani Publishing Ltd.

The aim of this research was to examine the effect of sexuality education program based on the information level on sexual issues, and cognitive and emotional readiness on sexual development of preschool children aged 60-72 months. In this study a quasi-experimental design-with pretest-posttest control group-was used. The research sample consisted of 58 children, 29 in the experimental group and 29 in the control group attending preschool institutions in Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. Questionnaire of Sexuality Knowledge Level and Personal Information Form developed by the researcher to determine knowledge about sexuality were used for data collection instruments in the present research. An 8-session sexuality education program was implemented in the experimental group to increase their level of sexuality knowledge, and control group was not subjected to any programs; independent sample t-test and 2 x 4 mixed ANOVA were used to analyze the data. According to the findings the posttest scores mean obtained from the Questionnaire of Sexuality Knowledge Level of the children included in the experimental group were significantly higher than the mean of the pretest total scores. There was no statistically significant difference between posttest scores mean and pretest scores mean of children included in the control group. It has also determined that long-lasting effect of sexuality education program continues after the end of experiment.
