神學生性知識、性態度探討

有鑒於台灣同性婚姻合法化及多元性別關係之發展，神學生畢業後將進入地方教會牧養將面臨更多挑戰。對於性的認知與態度，將直接或間接地影響未來教會牧養關顧之工作。近幾年透過媒體不斷報導性平事件、同性戀、未婚青少年女懷孕或性騷擾、性侵害例子，已引起社會各界極度地關心與憂慮，教會對各種健康的「性教育」是不容忽視的。神學生未來進入教會將如何面對信徒所面臨的各種性議題等，成為本研究的焦點。因此，本研究之研究目的為：（1）瞭解神學生的性知識；（2）探討神學生性態度之想法相關因素；（3）神學生認為教會在「性教育課程」（sexual educattion）之需求及相關課程。本研究透過半結構開放式問卷來收集資料，結果顯示：（1）神學生普遍在性知識層面較為不足，答對率為66.7%，有待加強改善；（2）影響性知識與性態度之因素包含：對「性」價值的迷失、「神聖」的枷鎖與面對「情慾」的窄化態度；（3）神學生皆認為教會應有「性教育課程」，其中以「青少年性課程」和「情感教育」的需求最多。性是上帝所賞賜的禮物，教會應該用正向的態度來看待，根據研究結果提出以下建議：（1）教會不能漠視「性」相關的議題；（2）應有合宜的態度面對性議題及罪惡感；（3）性教育在教會中積極推動刻不容緩；（4）培養神學生之教育課程中的全人教育應有性教育相關課程。

In view of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan, theological seminary students will shepherd local churches after graduating from seminary. Their cognition and attitude toward sex will directly or indirectly affect the future pastoral care. The examples of homosexuality, unmarried teenage female pregnancy, sexual harassment, and sexual assault in recent years have caused extreme concern and anxiety from all walks of life. The church's healthy "sex education" cannot be ignored. How theological students face the various sexual issues when they enter local churches will be the center of this research. The purpose of this study: (1) Understand the sexual knowledge and attitude of the theological students. (2) Explore the influencing factors behind sexual knowledge and attitudes of the theological students. (3) The church's needs in "sexual education" and related courses. The research methods conducted in this research are: literature, questionnaire, semi-structured open questionnaire with quantitative and qualitative analysis and axial coding. There are three main findings of this study: (1) Theological seminary students are generally lacking in terms of sexual knowledge, with an average correct answer rate of 66.7%, which needs to be improved. (2) There are two factors that affect sexual knowledge and attitudes: a. Loss of the value of "sex"; b. The shackles of "sacred" and the narrowed attitude towards "lust". (3) 100.0% of the theological students believe that the church should have "sex education". Finally, there are four recommendations in this study: (1) The church cannot ignore issues related to "sex". (2) There should be a proper attitude towards sexual issues and guilt. (3) Sex education should be actively promoted in the church and cannot be delayed. (4) Sex courses should be included in theological education. The reflections of this research are: (1) Sex is a gift from God, and the church should treat it with a positive attitude. (2) Sex education is often stigmatized and narrowed in the church, and this should be changed. (3) Don't over-taboo and ignore the discussion of sex education or lust in religious and spiritual education.
