碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 教育研究所 === 94 === The Action Research of the Immersing Curriculum of Ethics of Sexuality and Marriage in Senior High School Abstract The aim of the research is mainly on discussing the possibility to immerse the ethics of sexuality and marriage into the senior high school curriculum, including the process of developing the curriculum and the measurement to carry it out, course planning, project design, activities and assessment. The target students of the research are 17-year-old boys from the southern urban of Tainan. Optional Course of Ethics of Sexuality and Marriage was merged into the subjects of Home Economics with 10 units of curriculum activities in action research during one semester, including observation, interview, film- watching, group discussion, role play, debate, Q/A and self assessment. From the target students’ expression and learning feedback during the ten units, the researcher discovers that it is very positive and effective to perform Ethics of Sexuality and Marriage in the senior high school education. First, the target students were highly interested in the curriculum activities and participated in them heartily. Secondly, the curriculum related to the target students’ life and inspired many responses. Finally, after evaluating themselves, almost all the target students confirmed their promotion in knowledge, affection and skills. They were so much satisfied with their own performance in the learning process. Meanwhile, from the viewpoints of the researcher, before the curriculum of Ethics of Sexuality and Marriage is carried out in the senior high school, some relative courses need to be done in advance in the junior high school, such as: health education, family ethics, common sense in law and a series of curriculum need to be executed at the same time both in junior and senior high schools, such as: sexual physiology, sexual psychology, interpersonal relationship, life education, and sexual equality education. These courses are so important that they shouldn’t be ignored and replaced with others in order to get students focus on studying merely to get into university. It is rather sad to know that a student with high achievement in study and career committed a crime or did much harm on himself or others because of his personal lack of respect to human, care for the society and belief in family ethics. In the end of the research, there are the discussions carried out on the spirit of immersing the curriculum of Ethics of Sexuality and Marriage into the high school education, the adjustment made to help teaching plan and curriculum activities more suitable , the assessment used to evaluate if students have the needed core abilities for the course, and some suggestions brought out for the teachers, executors on educational administration, social education, and family education.
