New Perspectives in Science Education

A large number of researchers in different countries of the world may have extrapolatedthe relations between the religious belief, education and the sexual behaviour of the teenagers but this is a pioneer study in Albania. Sexual education at Albanian schools is a matter of concern persisting after 25 years of democracy. Inappropriate programs, unqualified teachers, texts with flaws often underestimating the need for comprehensive sexual education, continue to be part of sexual education in Albania. This is more common at religious-based schools, where religious morality often prohibits a comprehensive sexual education of the students of these schools. Through this study I would like to stress the immediate need for new sexual education based on the development and opening up of the society and Albanian teenagers, notwithstanding the religious belief of teachers, students or their families. The study is based on three pillars: need for comprehensive sexual education, need fordetachment from religious education as part of sexual education at religious schools and promotion of the new perspective of sexual ethics. This study will be attended by students of local religious schools, wherefrom the data to be derived will analyse the relations between key variables of the present study, highlighting the impact of religious belief on sexual education at these high schools. The research methodology to be applied will be quantitative and the measuring instrument will refer to 500 adolescent students of religious different schools within the country. The hypothesis of this study will be tested through Chi-square test, regression etc through the program SPSS.20. The study will be closed with a number of recommendations and conclusions drawn from the empirical and theoretical working results.
