At present, only two universities in China take sex education as a minor course. One is Capital Normal University and the other is Chengdu University. Li Bian interviewed the principals of sex education minor in these two universities respectively, hoping to know the general situation of sex education in China universities.
Professor hu zheng from Chengdu University said that it is not common for universities to offer sex education courses. There are seventy or eighty colleges and universities in Sichuan Province, including vocational and technical colleges, but only three or four of them offer sex education courses at present. They are Sichuan Normal University, Chengdu University and Chengdu University of Technology (formerly Chengdu Institute of Electronics). These schools are long-term, with more than a dozen opened intermittently. Leshan Teachers College, for example, opened for a while and then stopped.
Why are there ups and downs? This is related to the open mechanism of universities. Chengdu University stipulates that each subordinate college should offer 2 to 10 public elective courses to the whole school. Whether it can be opened or not depends on two factors. One is that teachers in various colleges should declare themselves: what courses should I open? In addition, there are 30 students to register. If the teacher doesn't report, of course, this course can't be opened. For example, the teacher who had a sex education class before Leshan Normal University later said that she was busy and couldn't open it, so she wouldn't open it. Some teachers are willing to open classes, but fewer than 30 students have signed up. Hu zheng said that some courses, in her opinion, are very good courses, but less than 30 students signed up, so it is not easy to start. Chengdu University has fifty or sixty courses each semester.
How about the elective course of sexual health education in Chengdu University? According to Professor hu zheng, there should be a shortage of porridge, which is in short supply. Chengdu University chooses courses through the Internet. Hu zheng teaches sexual health education for 32 class hours, quota 100. Generally, it will be full within half an hour after it is published online. Later, it was changed into a 300-person classroom. As a result, all the students were selected within one hour. Anonymous students have great opinions. Therefore, Professor hu zheng arrested Mr. Wu Yintao and offered an elective course in sex education. Whether it is the number of applicants 150 or 200, it is very fast. Later, Mr. Xu was added, and 200 students signed up, which was soon full. Counting three teachers, a total of 700 elective places are provided, but in fact, it still can't cover all students.
According to the enrollment plan of Chengdu University in 20 1 1 year, the university will recruit 42 undergraduate freshmen in 2 1 provinces (cities and autonomous regions) in 20 1 year, and plans to recruit 2,060 junior college freshmen in the province, with a total enrollment plan of 6,270.
The above is the situation of Sichuan Province introduced by Professor hu zheng. So, what is the situation in this country? Professor Zhang Meimei from Capital Normal University said that there are still many universities in China offering courses related to sex education, but only the First Normal University and Chengdu University call sex education directly. There are actually quite a few courses involving sex education. Many medical colleges, such as Rushan University of Western Medicine, Shanghai Second Medical University, Sun Yat-sen Medical University, Peking University School of Medicine, etc. , there are related courses. However, there are no fewer than a dozen normal universities offering sex education courses. Of course, normal university, every province has it. There are also normal universities and normal colleges in various prefecture-level cities. It's hard to say whether it can be opened.
As far as the overall situation is concerned, we lack a survey. To get accurate data, special investigation is needed, and manpower and material resources are needed. It is best to invite a special investigation company to conduct an investigation. I'm afraid ordinary academic institutions don't have this manpower. Generally speaking, according to experience, the development of sex education in universities should be said to be better than imagined and a little worse than the actual needs. There are similar courses in this field, but they are not in place. Whether it is just right to satisfy students and quench their thirst may not be much. Of course, we can solve some problems, and we can't be so demanding.
Professor Zhang Meimei said that it is actually limited to how many students choose this course, or the coverage of this course. There are only a few hundred students in a class, but the proportion of students in a class is actually quite small. Take the First Normal University as an example, there should be only 200 to 300 people attending sex education classes, but how many students are there in one session? In 20 12, Capital Normal University plans to enroll 2640 students. I found the school's enrollment brochure in 2009 on the Internet, which introduced that the school has 28 183 students. Among them, there are full-time undergraduates 10475, graduate students1488, doctoral students/394, adult students1139, and foreign students 1294. Roughly speaking, if all the students in sex education classes are freshmen, the proportion is about one tenth.
Of course, elective courses or public elective courses are not the same as minor courses. The minor major is a double-degree student, and taking sex education as a degree course requires 46 credits. You must complete 16 class hours or 32 class hours to get one or two credits. 46 credits, almost 700 hours. So many class hours, two and a half years, taught by more than a dozen teachers. These teachers come from different departments, such as the College of Political Science and Law, the College of Life Sciences, the College of Education, the College of Psychology and the College of Literature.
What are the typical questions that sex education teachers are asked in elective courses or among college students? Professor Zhang Meimei said that typical problems include homosexuality, emotional problems and physiological problems. Did you ask about the abortion? There are also. Because I am a female teacher, some male students want to ask, and some entrust lesbians to learn.
