Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to evaluate the level of sex education training of Spanish teachers. A total of 3760 preschool, primary and high school teachers throughout the country completed an on-line questionnaire that inquires about sex education training both during university studies and continuous learning. Results showed differences at the level of university studies. Younger and female preschool and school teachers reported a higher level of training in sex education compared to older and male high school teachers. Moreover, regional differences were found both in university and continuous training. Teachers from Castilla y León showed the greatest levels of university training in sex education, whereas teachers from Asturias showed the greatest levels of continuous training. Asturian and Balearic teachers were on the opposite side, respectively. Finally, suggestions for improvement both in the field of university education and continuous training are offered.
