TY - JOUR AU - Loughrin, Sandra PY - 2018/07/03 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Sex-Ed Story-Time: Understanding and Applying the Social Construction of Sexuality JF - TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology JA - TRAILS VL - IS - SE - DO - UR - https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/sex-ed-story-time-understanding-and-applying-the SP - AB - One of the most difficult tasks for most undergraduates is to apply the knowledge they have gained throughout the course in a way that is meaningful. This project attempts to solve the discontent between theory, content, and application. This project asks students to create a children’s book that succinctly explains some element of sexuality to a specific age group. They are then expected to justify their work in a short paper that is designed to not only have the student reflect on their work but also understand how theory/concepts have been applied to their books. The ability for students to reflect on their application of complex material allows them to truly understand crucial elements that are so often tied to Student Learning Objectives for a course. As the project culminates in an oral presentation—a reading of their book—they also develop presentation skills necessary for undergraduate symposiums. ER -
