THE ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT OF COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES OF CHASTITY AND MORAL SEXUAL EDUCATION
Bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos ugdymo turinio vertinimas lytinio ir lytiškumo ugdymo principų aspektu

Summary/Abstract: There are two different types of preventions of risky sexual behavior of adolescents, which are formulated from the perspective of aims and achievable results: pedagogical prevention and sex or sexual education. Pedagogical prevention of risky sexual behavior is the harmonization of processes of chastity and moral sexual education (chastity education seeks to help an adolescent to control sexual desire; moral sexual education develops sexual identity and harmonious relationships (based on respect and parity) between persons of different genders). This pedagogical prevention is aimed at internal factors causing early sexual relations and therefore it helps to prevent causes of early sexual relations, concurrently creates prerequisites for physical and psychological health care as well as reduction of problems of social welfare and ensures development of a mature personality. Sex or sexual education is the secondary prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS/HIV and teenage pregnancies, based on sex education and is aimed at preventing or minimizing of the consequences of early sexual relations. Sex education is based on reproductive health which contradicts to the holistic concept of health, idealization of contraceptives, a theory of social gender identity which denies the importance of the nature, separation of the two dimensions of sexuality: expression of love and procreation. Pedagogical prevention is an interdisciplinary subject inseparable from education of morality, religion, science, citizenship, healthy lifestyle, etc. Therefore pedagogical prevention is efficient only if all the subjects are in accordance with the principles of chastity and sexual education. But nowadays pedagogical prevention is insufficient and sex education is more clearly developed. The scientific problem of the article is: to establish the purity or pedagogical prevention of risky sexual behavior of adolescents from the aspect of principles of chastity and moral sexual education and highlighting the elements of sex education in educational process. Documental analysis attempts to answer the question raised as a scientific problem. The documents chosen for the evaluation relate to the process of pedagogical prevention of risky sexual behavior of adolescents. The analysis revealed that in the main documents regulating the work of educational system and in the "Programme of Family Preparation and Sexual Education" (2007) there is no contradiction between the principles stated in them and principles of chastity and sexual education; but there is a contradiction between these principles in the examined school textbooks
