| Objective: Sexual education for children is crucial as it aids in their understanding and appreciation of their bodies. This research aims to develop a Body Safety Module as a teaching tool for primary school students. The modules were analyzed to determineperception of usability as well as their effectiveness.
Methods:This study focuses on design and development research, adopting the five phases in the ADDIE model for the module development process. To evaluate the module’s effectiveness, 205 respondents were randomly chosen to complete a questionnaire. Furthermore, an additional 71 pupils participated in pre-and post-effectiveness tests. This study examined three specific aspects of validity: content validity, questionnaire validity, and the effectiveness of pre and post-test.
Results and conclusion:The module received extensive professional review and agreement, showing a 93.73% agreement on the validity of the content. Meanwhile, the test of the effectiveness of the module using questionnaires reflected a validity rate of 93.3%. The questionnaire also demonstrated a high level of reliability (α = 0.766). Data analysis was performed using inferential statistics (T-test) and descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation). When assessing student perceptions of the module, a moderate level of agreement was found across various aspects: design (M 2.67, SD 0.51), satisfaction (M 2.36, SD 0.67), and usability (M 2.69, SP 0.52). There was a significant difference in mean scores between the control and treatment groups in post-test results. In this aspect, the Body Safety Module proved more effective than traditional textbooks for students. As a result, this module is an appropriate teaching tool for elementary school students.
Research Implications:This module serves a broader purpose than merely a teaching tool; it is suitable for children aged from 7 to 12 years old. This early sexual education module delivers crucial knowledge and awareness, empowering children to protect their precious bodies and recognize sexual harassment instances. Gender equality is closely linked to the prevention of sexual harassment and abuse. The Body Safety Module addresses these issues by fostering awareness among children, regardless of gender, about their rights and boundaries |
