Abstract

Research conducted by many specialists confirmed the necessity of working out of good sexual education model in polish school. Ourresearch had two main aims. First was analysis of changes in sexual education tendencies in the years 1960-2010 in Poland, based on content and quantity of synopsis of the school lectures published in periodical "Biology at School". We made an attempt to identify used ways of teaching of issues concerning human sexuality in selected years. The second aim was an attempt to systematize of teachers and biology students interpretations of commercials having sexual innuendos, and recognize how do they notice medial announcements having opinion-forming character with reference to human sexuality. We carried out a diagnostic survey among students of biology and biology teachers. The results of the poll allowed to answer the question, how views of human body shaped by media affect students and teachers attitudes toward human sexuality in comparison with attitudes shaped by school and other sources. We also focused of attention on symbols used in advertisements as factors which have potential implications for sexual education of society. The connection of these two planes allow to determine the relationships between formal and non formal education in biology and human sexuality.
