Abstract

The study presented is part of a research on the efficacy and impact of a specific proposal of Sexual Education developed with students from 3rd grade of Complusory Secondary Education. For that , the evolution of two groups of individuals is examined and compared, the first experimental group, consisting of 71 adolescents, and the second, control group, consisting of 52 students of the same school, all aged between 13 and 17 years. This paper focuses on the analysis of the sources that both groups use to learn about sexuality, the acquired knowledge and the sexual experience stated before and after the educational intervention (pretest-posttest). The results show how the program favors communication of students with educational and health professionals. Greater alignment between perceived knowledge and proven knowledge is shown in different scales. Also, in both groups a similar increase of sexual experience is observed.
