本研究は，高等養護学校における性教育の実態と課題を明らかにする目的で，性教育を担当する教諭に半構成的面接を行い意味内容を分析した質的記述的研究である．その結果【性被害を危惧】【反復・継続の教育】【性教育への熱い信念】【実態と時間数との狭間のジレンマ】の4 つのカテゴリーが抽出された．教諭は生徒の身に起こる性被害を危惧し，性教育への熱い信念を持ち，生徒に反復・継続の教育を行っていた．しかし，生徒の実態と性教育の時間の狭間でジレンマが生じていた．限られた時間の中で，生徒一人ひとりの実態に合わせ，生徒の行動変容につながるような教育方法，教諭間の共通理解と寄宿舎との連携が課題とされた．The objective of this study is to understand the situation and problems related to sex education in high schools for disabled students by conducting semi structured interviews with teachers in charge of sex education at such a school. The data obtained in the interviews were analyzed into the following four categories: "apprehensions about sexual violence", "repeated and continuing education", "strong beliefs in the value of sex education", and "dilemmas arising from perceived student needs and the number of class hours". Teachers conducted sex education repeatedly and continuously to the students with a strong belief in the necessity for sex education and with apprehension about the danger of sexual violence inflicted on students by others, or other students. However, teachers felt a dilemma between the situation surrounding the students and the time available for sex education. The findings suggest the necessity of establishing a method of sex education that helps respond to the behavioral changes experienced by students based on the specific condition of each student in the limited time available, sharing understanding and insights among teachers, and ensuring cooperation with the staff of dormitories
