Abstract

This study proposes a conceptual model of Islamic Sex Education (ISE) and an ISE courseware based on the model; named Al-Adab, in conveying rightful sex education information to the parents, particularly Muslims. By the end of the study two evaluations were conducted namely; learning evaluation and reaction evaluation to investigate the effectiveness of the prototype as well as the constructed model with 41 respondents, which are parents. Employing the pre and post test, learning evaluation that includes 15 similar questions about ISE was given before and after the respondents used the courseware prototype. Meanwhile, the reaction evaluation was given after the respondents used the courseware prototype in assessing the overall effectiveness of the prototype. After analyzing the data, we found that the correct answers of the learning evaluation were increased after the respondents used the prototype; and overall they agreed the effectiveness of the prototype in increasing their knowledge.
