In many countries, sex education is taken as a specialized course with expert answering the concerned questions. Also, it can be conducted by the strength of the society. All these measures promote the healthy growth of teenagers. In our country, the sex education course in the school is not important. And the lack of teachers of this aspect is also an urgent problem.Puberty is a period when one's physiology and mentality develop rapidly. The maturity of physiology is faster than that of mentality, so some problems of puberty appear: sexual precocity, sexual confusion, sexual crimes and sexual ignorance. Therefore, the course arrangement, teaching methods and contents of sex education can't fall behind students' knowledge level of sex. In the background of exam-oriented education, the theme of combining sex education and subjects teaching theory and its practice is put forward naturally.The teaching method that puts sexual physical education, sexual psychological education, sexual moral education and sexual legal education into the relevant subjects such as biology, politics and P.E and so on can make classes function fully and form joint forces in sex education. It can make students developed all-round and provides a way of researching for sex education.Judging from the 870 effective questionnaires did by the graduates of Grade 9 from 20 classes of 6 middle schools, there are some outstanding problems: the disharmony of students' earlier sexual physiological development and postponed sexual psychological development; the contradictory between the lack of sex knowledge and the demand of sex knowledge. Also, the open idea and morality about sex need a further development and the sex education in schools has a long way to go.To solve these problems, the system of the education that combines sex education and other subjects is put up. Teachers of relevant subjects (biology, politics and P.E) gathered together, organized an integrated research group and established teaching plans. Through analyzing the standard of new course of the relevant subjects, they fixed sex education into relevant subjects and divided it into 23 periods. According to the contents of sex education, knowledge needs 6 courses, psychology needs 6 courses, morality needs 7 courses and law needs 4 courses. A sample which combines the teaching of sexual physiology, sexual psychology, sexual morality and sexual law with relevant subjects is presented in this essay.Before the experiment, they made a pre-experiment. They inspected the average points with t in statistics, p>0.05. There is no distinct difference. After the experiment, they made a post-experiment between the experiment classesand the counter classes. We can see that the difference of average points between theexperimenting classes and the counter classes is great.Conclusion: 1.The integrated education improved the efficiency of sex educationapparently; 2. It formed combined strength. 3. It is one of the effective ways thatconforms to the reality.It is a brand new topic to combine sex education with other subjects.
