Comparison of puberty knowledge in primary school pupils in the Czech republic, China, Spain and Sweden

Original language description

Puberty can be described as a fundamental hormonal process of physical changes in connection with a significantly changing psyche, with the awareness of one´s own personality. Puberty is an important element of sexual education in both the European and the global dimension.Timely preparedness for puberty means that children should acquire the necessary knowledge of puberty before it starts. That is, during the prepubescent period, when they are primary school pupils. Knowledge is a summary of the acquired information gained in the learning process. It expresses pupils´awareness. The level of puberty knowledge is represented by the level of instruction and it is expressed by the quantity and quality of information. Our educational research realized what level of knowledge about puberty is shown by primary school pupils in selected countries where we conducted our research (the Czech republic, China, Spain, Sweden). Didactic test of knowledge was used as a research method for the knowledge finding about puberty in pupils of primary school. The level of puberty knowledge was verified by 9 free-response test tasks. The content of the test tasks was focused on the concept of puberty; on the puberty definition; on the age range of puberty period; on the knowledge of bodily characters changes in boys and girls; on the knowledge of other changes emerging in puberty and on the importance of puberty in human life. We used the statistics and methods of descriptive statistics to describe the data sets and their characteristics. The text summarizes the results of educational research.
