Abstract

Sex education is important to educate young individuals that make them equipped with the right knowledge and attitude concerning healthy sex life. This research article aimed to analyze how parents perceive the integration of sex education in the elementary curriculum of selected public elementary schools in Southern Leyte, Philippines. As for data collection, primary information from parents was considered that include demographic profiles such as age, civil status, educational attainment, religion, and socio-economic status because these factors were believed to affect parents' perceptions. In addition, parents' perceptions of sex education were gathered regarding intellectual, emotional, moral, psychological, and social aspects. The descriptive-correlational research design was employed to elucidate the significant relationship between parents' profile and their perception of the integration of sex education in the elementary curriculum using some standard statistical measures and the Chi-square test. Results showed that parents had strongly unfavorable perceptions of sex education in terms of intellectual, emotional, moral, psychological, and social aspects. Using the Chi-square test, the profile of parents was directly related to their perception of sex education. In conclusion, parents' negative perceptions of sex education at the elementary level are believed to be detrimental to their children because they may lack knowledge of sex education, and in fact, discussing sex education is still considered taboo in the Philippine culture, particularly at the elementary level.

Abstract

Integrating sex education into the elementary school curriculum remains a challenge for educators. Cultural, religious, and social backgrounds influence how educators integrate it into instruction. This study aims to describe teacher characteristics and analyse their perceptions of sex education across intellectual, emotional, moral, psychological, and social dimensions. The study used a quantitative descriptive-correlational design. The study involved 28 teachers selected via a census method from selected public schools. Teacher characteristics were examined in terms of gender, alma mater, religion, marital status, and experience attending sex education seminars. Data were collected using an expert-validated questionnaire and analysed using frequency, mean, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. The results indicate that most respondents were female, married, and graduates of Leyte Normal University. Teacher participation in sex education seminars was also limited. Overall, teachers demonstrated a generally positive perception of sex education. The study found significant relationships between gender, seminar participation, and perceptions of the intellectual, moral, and psychological dimensions. The study concludes that teachers' personal and professional characteristics are associated with their perceptions of sex education. Consequently, schools need to provide professional development through gender- and content-sensitive seminars and create an environment that supports the effective integration of sex education.

Abstract

Mathematics education faces challenges in understanding the evolving directions of research and the dynamics of scholarly collaboration. This study aims to analyze research indicators and trends in mathematics education through a bibliometric review of 2,245 documents published between 2014 and 2024 in the Scopus database. The analysis employed VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, SPSS, and R to explore research productivity, citation patterns, collaboration networks, and keyword co-occurrence. Data were drawn from peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings selected through strict inclusion criteria. The findings indicate a significant increase in research output in recent years, the dominance of specific journals, and concentrated contributions from certain authors and institutions. Peer-reviewed articles emerged as the most prevalent publication type, while Social Sciences, Mathematics, and Computer Science highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Thematic keyword mapping identified clusters related to pedagogy, digital transformation, cognitive tools, and teacher education. This study concludes that large-scale methodological development, global interdisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of digital and cognitive innovations into pedagogical practices are essential to enhance the relevance and equity of research in mathematics education.
