The effect of sexuality education based on the information, motivation, and behavioral skills model on improving the teachers' professional competence.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Professional competence is the basic need of teachers in effective sexuality education. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of school-based sexuality education (SBSE) on teachers' professional competence (TPC), using the information, motivation, and behavioral skills (IMB) model, in boys' schools.

Methods

A randomized controlled field trial was conducted on 60 teachers who taught adolescents aged 11-19 years and were selected from 12 public boys' schools in Sari, northern Iran. Two groups (intervention and control) were assigned using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Researchers utilized a self-reported socio-demographic questionnaire and an IMB model-based questionnaire to assess the effects of the educational program. Fo
