[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hyung-joo] The Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education conducted a 'Collaborative Sexual Education Competency Enhancement Training' for elementary, middle, and high school sexual education teachers on the 8th and 9th.

According to the Office of Education on the 13th, this training was planned to strengthen the student-participatory teaching capabilities of sexual education teachers.

During the training, teachers directly experienced lessons using teaching materials and shared their experiences in sexual education classes. They actively participated in activities to find effective teaching methods to apply in the new semester's classrooms.

Additionally, they practiced and applied various teaching and learning methods such as Google-based lessons, sexual education using picture books, World Caf? discussion classes, and education using dilemma questions, followed by mutual feedback sessions.

One teacher who participated in the training said, "It was good to learn various teaching methods that can be used in both online and face-to-face classes," adding, "Especially, since the training involved participation and practice rather than simple knowledge delivery, I gained confidence that I can immediately apply it in the new semester."

Kim Hyung-tae, Director of Democratic Citizenship Education at the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, "Although the situation is difficult due to COVID-19, we will continue to conduct various trainings not only for sexual education teachers but also for all teachers to enhance their professionalism through various small-scale trainings."
