Formation of sexual identification among students of different age groups: development of a psychological and pedagogical program

The problem of developing a program for the formation of sexual identification among students as a structural link of self-awareness at all levels of education is relevant, however, this methodological program is not yet available in modern Russian pedagogy and psychology. This circumstance determined the purpose of the study: the development and description of the above-mentioned psychological and pedagogical program. The work carried out allowed us to determine the main goal of the program – the formation of sexual identification among students of preschool, primary school and adolescence by teaching them adequate sexual characteristics of behavior, acceptance of their "physical Self", the development of sexual self-awareness and the resolution of intrapersonal problems. The article presents the practice of implementing the program, expected results, and conditions of implementation. The stages of the project working group's activity are reflected. When developing the program for the formation of sexual identification, theoretical and empirical research methods were used: a comprehensive analysis of literature, a method of modeling, abstracting, concretizing, studying and generalizing pedagogical experience. In addition, the organizational structure of the concept of the formation of sexual identification among students is revealed, reflecting the directions of psychological and pedagogical support for the process of forming sexual identification for all subjects of educational relations and levels of general education. The study identifies the emerging features of sexual identification in the relationship between men and women, in family life, in professional activities, as well as self-reflection as a gender carrier. In the course of the research, the organizational and methodological expected results of the program were determined, which undoubtedly determines its practical significance and the long-term prospects of the work being carried out.
