Good Grades Aren't Everything in Sex Ed

摘要

Just because students ace their tests in health class does not mean they will remember and use lessons about preventing pregnancy and HIV infection when it counts, suggests a study at Ohio State University, Columbus. The researchers explored the effects of teaching sex education with a focus on making sure students master the material rather than just pass tests and score well on assignments. They found big differences that could have life-altering repercussions, indicates study author Eric Anderman, professor of educational psychology.
