Cinsel Gelişim: Çocuk Kitaplarında Üreme

Cinsel eğitim yaşamın başlangıcından itibaren sağlıklı gelişim sürecinde etkili olan bir kavramdır. İnsan bedeni ve gelişimi, şiddetten korunma ve güvende olma gibi üreme konusu da cinsel eğitimin bir parçasıdır. Bu araştırmada çocukların üreme konusuna yönelik sorularına yanıt verebilecek nitelikte, amaçlı örnekleme yoluyla belirlenen 11 resimli çocuk kitabı oluşturulan temalar çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Kitaplarda geçen iletilerin içeriklerini ayrıntılarıyla ortaya koymak amacıyla bu araştırma doküman incelemesi yoluyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre kitaplarda üremeyle ilgili bilgilerin verilmesi, biyolojik cinsiyet, cinsel organlar ve özellikleri, cinsel birliktelik, döllenme, hamilelik ve doğum süreçleri, üreme ve cinsellikle ilgili resimler, çocuk sahibi olma durumu ve ebeveynlere yönelik öneriler gibi temalara çeşitli şekillerde yer verildiği görülmüştür. Kitaplarda yer alan içerikler ile ayrıntıları farklılaşmaktadır. Cinsel eğitimin yaşa ve gelişim düzeyine uygunluğu, cinsel eğitimin ölçünleri ve içeriği göz önünde bulundurularak bulgular tartışılmıştır. Cinsel eğitimde kullanılabilecek bir araç olan resimli çocuk kitaplarının içeriğinin ve hitap ettiği yaş grubunun belirtilmesi, ebeveynlere cinsel eğitimde rehberlik edilmesi, cinsel eğitimde yaş ve gelişim düzeyine uygun ölçünlerin belirlenmesi ve uygulanması çocukların sağlıklı cinsel eğitim almalarına katkı sağlayacaktır.

Sexual Development: Reproduction in Children's Books

Sex education is a concept that is effective in the process of healthy development from the beginning of life. The human body and its development, protection from violence and safety, as well as reproduction, are all part of sex education. In this research, 11 illustrated children's books that can answer children's questions about reproduction and determined through purposeful sampling were examined within the framework of the themes created. To reveal the content of the messages in the books in detail, this research was conducted through document analysis. According to the results, the books included themes such as giving information about reproduction, biological sex, genitals and their characteristics, sexual intercourse, fertilization, pregnancy and birth processes, pictures related to reproduction and sexuality, having children and suggestions for parents in various ways. The contents and details of the books differ. The findings were discussed by considering the appropriateness of sex education for age and developmental level, the standards and content of sex education. Suggestions were given on the focus of books on reproduction in sex education.
