Abstract:
Objective:To establish the Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China, so as to provide a basis for strengthening the construction of the sexuality education teacher team in kindergartens and promoting the smooth implementation of sexuality education in kindergartens.
Methods:According to the Professional Standards for Kindergarten Teachers (Trial), combined with the existing research and practice results in the field of sexuality education at home and abroad and the development status of kindergarten sexuality education in China, the indicators and specific contents of Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China were selected. In September 2021, two rounds of Delphi expert consultation method were adopted to collect suggestions on professional standards from 34 experts in the field of sexuality education in China, and modifications were made according to the importance scores assessed by experts and specific suggestions until expert opinions converged. Then, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to assign weights to each indicator at each level, based on the relative importance between each two indicators at the same level as assessed by experts.
Results:The Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China were initially established, including 3 primary indexes (professional concept, professional ability and professional knowledge), 7 secondary indexes and 27 tertiary indexes. The recovery rate of the two rounds of consultation documents was 100%, indicating that the experts were highly motivated. The authority coefficient of 2 rounds of expert consultation were both greater than 0.70, proving that the consultation results were reliable. The index weights of the three dimensions of professional concept, professional knowledge and professional ability were 0.44, 0.32 and 0.25, respectively.
Conclusion:The content of the Professional Standards for Sexuality Education Teachers in Kindergarten in China is complete, and the minimum qualified standard for kindergarten teachers engaged in sexuality education is determined.
