Abstract

This study investigated secondary school teachers’ and students’ attitude towards teaching and learning of sex education in Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State. It adopted a descriptive survey design. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire which was developed by the researchers and validated by experts in the field of measurement and evaluation. The data collected were trial tested and analysed using the Cronbach Alpha. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was found to be 0.89 which indicated that the instrument was reliable for the study. A sample size of 120 (48males and 72 females) SSS students was randomly sampled from four schools out of ten schools that was used for the study. The research questions were answered using mean score and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested with t-test statistic at P-value of 0.05% level of significance. The findings among others revealed that there is significant difference in the attitude of male and female teachers towards the teaching of sex education. The findings equally revealed that there is significant difference between male and female students’ attitude towards learning of sex education. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that a curriculum of sex education should be developed for all secondary schools in Nigeria and the subject family life replaced with sex education.
