Taxonomy of teaching approaches used to deliver school-based RSE

Research Method · All research methods
Evidence · no claims cited

Description

The review classifies the pedagogical approaches reported in RSE studies into categories including multiple strategies, health promotion, delivery personnel, a suite of active learning pedagogies, cross-curriculum approaches, UNESCO guidance, philosophy/ethics, and sex/gender-based approaches. It reports a "striking lack of standardised use of pedagogical terms" and that detail explaining the approaches used was starkly missing, hindering replication and further testing.
