[en] The aim of this study is to analyse the attitudes, training and practice of a group of teachers1 regarding sex education for students with intellectual disabilities2. To achieve this, a quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out, for which an online questionnaire was designed and distributed among teachers. This has 34 questions whose aim is to collect information from the sample on the following variables: socio-demographic characteristics, training experience, formal teaching and attitudes in the school context towards sexuality education; and observations during the school day. In order to obtain and analyse the results of this standardised instrument, it is essential that there is a sample, in this case 72 teachers1, active or retired, of Pre-school and/or Primary Education. Analysis of the results reveals that the sample's attitudes towards sexuality education are positive. However, 73.2% of the participants have not received any training in sex education in general, and 91.3% have no experience in sex education for students with ID. Furthermore, only 18.2% acknowledged that this subject is taught in the classroom on a scheduled basis. In turn, no statistically significant differences were detected in the attitudes shown towards sex education for students with ID among teachers of therapeutic pedagogy and those who have not taken this specialisation; nor between teachers who do have training in sex education and those who do not. Likewise, 38.1% of the participants stated that they had observed sexual behaviour in students with ID during the school day. The results obtained underline the urgent need to improve teacher training in sexuality education, as well as to implement the teaching of this subject in schools.

[es] Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las actitudes, formaci?n y pr?ctica de un conjunto de maestros y maestras1; respecto a la educaci?n sexual en el alumnado con discapacidad intelectual2. Para conseguirlo, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de enfoque cuantitativo y de corte transversal, para el cual se ha dise?ado y distribuido entre el profesorado un cuestionario online. Este cuenta con 34 preguntas cuyo objetivo es recopilar informaci?n de la muestra sobre las siguientes variables: caracter?sticas sociodemogr?ficas, experiencia formativa, impartici?n formal y actitudes en el contexto escolar hacia la educaci?n sexual; y observaciones durante la jornada escolar. Para poder obtener y analizar los resultados de este instrumento estandarizado es imprescindible que exista una muestra, en este caso han sido 72 profesores y profesoras1, en activo o jubilados, de Educaci?n Infantil y/o Primaria. El an?lisis de los resultados revela que las actitudes de la muestra hacia la educaci?n sexual son positivas. Sin embargo, el 73.2% de los participantes no ha recibido formaci?n en educaci?n sexual a nivel general, y el 91.3% no tiene experiencia formativa en esta materia en alumnos/as con DI. Adem?s, ?nicamente el 18.2% reconoce impartir, de manera programada, esta materia en el aula. A su vez, no se han detectado diferencias estad?sticamente significativas en las actitudes mostradas hacia la educaci?n sexual en el alumnado con DI entre los maestros de Pedagog?a Terap?utica y los que no han realizado esta especializaci?n; ni tampoco entre los profesores que s? tienen formaci?n en educaci?n sexual y los que no. Asimismo, el 38.1% de los participantes afirma haber observado conductas sexuales en el alumnado con DI durante la jornada escolar. Los resultados obtenidos subrayan la urgente necesidad de mejorar la formaci?n docente en educaci?n sexual, as? como, la de implementar la impartici?n de esta materia en los centros educativos.
