teaching teenager about sex is immoral

Related Literature

This paper argues for an integration of moral education and sex education curricula. In such an
integration, the primary values that would be taught would not be those relating to specific sexual
behaviour but those relating to the general treatment of human beings, suggesting that sex that
involves coercion or exploitation as well as sex that causes harm is wrong.

Sex educators must take as their goal the prevention of abuse, not by placing responsibility on girls to
avoid victimisation but by teaching boys how to express themselves sexually in moral‐that is,
considerate and respectful‐‐ways. The paper discusses differential gender role socialisation and why
integration of such material must be a part of every sex education curriculum. The paper also discusses
how physical pleasure is not only a biological phenomenon but one that is culturally constructed, the
discussion of which would be important to sex education. Finally, teaching about fantasy as well as
sexual “deviance” (in terms of the moral behaviours discussed above) may be the most important aspect
of sex education to prepare or retrain boys to be “good” sex partners rather than perpetrators of abuse.

Parents want sex education to be taught in its “moral context”, according to yesterday’s front-page story, with an
emphasis on marriage. The virtues of abstinence before marriage should be taught alongside facts about
contraception, according to the report published by the Department for Education. Since when does anyone – on
the Left or on the Right – think it is a good idea to outsource the moral education of our children to the
Government? This survey reads as if it comes from the 1950s… in the American Midwest. Many parts of America –
notably Texas, but many others – are the heartland of abstinence-centred sex education. These places also have
the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the developed world.

Teens who receive factual sex education are significantly less likely to get pregnant than those who received no
formal sex education and those who received abstinence-only education, according to a 2008 survey.

Advantages of social education in groups
Related Literature

Forming study groups is a very effective strategy for enhancing learning. This is because groups
share unique insights and learn from each other. Group members can also teach confusing
concepts they understand to other group members. Study groups are particularly effective for
completing projects, developing presentations and preparing for exams. The following are
advantages of study groups and the strategies for making study groups effective.

Faculty often recommend study groups to students, especially in large courses or in courses
where students typically struggle with the material. “You’ll do better on exams in this course if
you work together with some other students.” Beyond these verbal recommendations or some
description of the benefits of study groups in the syllabus, most faculty leave the formation and
activities of study groups entirely up to students.

The Effects of Homework on Student Achievement
Related Literature

To review the research on the effect that homework has on student achievement, Education
Research Complete was used as the primary database. The initial search included the terms
"homework" and "achievement" and I did not narrow the search to include specific years. I
wanted to find not only the most recent research on homework, but the oldest research I could
find as well. This initial search resulted in 207 peer-reviewed articles from 1 951 to 2009.

We study the factors affecting the academic performance of economics students at a small
Canadian university using the Ordered Probit method, with Ordinary Least Squares and the
Propensity Score Matching method used in robustness checks. Graded homework, shown to
have ambiguous effects in previous work, here had a positive effect. A major contribution of
the study is its analysis for various subgroups: Graded assignments had their strongest effects
among male students and those with foreign (non-Canadian) backgrounds. GPA and higher
levels of teacher experience also positively affected performance.

In this paper, we examine the impact of graded homework on the test performance of students
taking economics courses. Recently, researchers have done extensive amounts of work on how
to improve performance of economics students (Anderson, Benjamin & Fuss, 1994; Arias &
Walker, 2004; Borg & Shapiro, 1996; Greene, 1997; Jensen & Owen, 2001). These studies
focused on factors such as class size, personality type, verbal abilities, gender, and interest in
economics. One of the least researched issues is the impact of graded assignments on student
performance, even though assigning problem sets is now an important part of teaching
strategies employed in economics courses (Geide-Stevenson, 2009). Assignments that are
graded, with the score used as part of the final course grade, are expected to improve test
performance. The logic is that students will be motivated to work on the graded assignment
and will learn from it; consequently, test scores will improve. Graded assignments, however, do
impose costs on both instructors and students. Instructors spend time grading the assignments
and providing adequate feedback
