Introduction

The Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II (FLSE-GQ II) is a psychometric instrument designed to assess the educational goals, priorities, and expectations of parents and educators regarding family life and sexuality education. Recognizing that families and schools play complementary roles in promoting healthy sexual development, the questionnaire explores participants’ beliefs about the objectives, content, and teaching approaches of sexuality education. It provides valuable insight into how parents and educators prioritize topics such as personal hygiene, interpersonal relationships, consent, sexual health, respect, and values-based education. The FLSE-GQ II is widely applicable in educational research, curriculum development, and program evaluation, supporting the design of sexuality education initiatives that are responsive to the needs, values, and expectations of families and educational communities.

Description

The Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II consists of self-report items that examine participants’ perspectives on the goals and implementation of sexuality education within family and school settings. The questionnaire evaluates beliefs regarding the fundamental objectives of sexuality education, commitment to its guiding principles, preferred teaching methods, and the relative importance assigned to different educational topics.

Key areas explored include personal hygiene, interpersonal relationships, consent, sexual values, responsible decision-making, and broader aspects of family life education. Participants typically respond using a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (“Strongly Disagree”) to 5 (“Strongly Agree”).

The available documentation does not specify the total number of questionnaire items or identify any subscales. Therefore, these characteristics cannot be described or inferred.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

The Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II generates standardized quantitative data that enable researchers and educators to evaluate participants’ educational priorities and preferences concerning sexuality education. Individual responses can be analyzed to determine the relative emphasis placed on various educational objectives, instructional approaches, and thematic areas within sexuality education.

The instrument is commonly used to investigate relationships between educational priorities and variables such as parental attitudes, teacher beliefs, educational philosophy, cultural values, health literacy, communication about sexuality, family functioning, student outcomes, and school-based health promotion initiatives. Because the FLSE-GQ II produces standardized psychometric data, it is suitable for descriptive statistical analyses, reliability assessment using Cronbach’s alpha, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA), correlation analysis, multiple regression, mediation and moderation analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM), multilevel analysis, and longitudinal studies evaluating changes in educational attitudes following policy initiatives or professional development programs.

The available documentation describes the purpose, content, and scoring procedure of the questionnaire but does not provide information regarding its psychometric evaluation. Accordingly, the available documentation does not report specific numerical reliability or validity coefficients; therefore, no psychometric values should be inferred.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II is to assess the educational goals and expectations of parents and educators regarding sexuality education. Specifically, the instrument evaluates how participants prioritize topics related to sexual health, interpersonal relationships, consent, personal hygiene, and values-based education, as well as their preferences concerning educational methods and instructional content. The findings support the development, implementation, and evaluation of sexuality education programs that reflect the needs, priorities, and cultural values of families, schools, and local communities. In addition, the questionnaire provides valuable evidence for educational planning, curriculum development, and policy formulation in family life and health education.

Scoring

The Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II is typically completed using a five-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from 1 (“Strongly Disagree”) to 5 (“Strongly Agree”).

Individual responses are analyzed to evaluate participants’ priorities, educational goals, and preferences regarding sexuality education. Higher scores generally indicate stronger agreement with the educational goals or principles represented by the questionnaire items, thereby reflecting participants’ relative emphasis on specific aspects of family life and sexuality education.

The available documentation does not specify the procedure for calculating an overall score, identify reverse-scored items, provide cut-off scores, or define score interpretation categories. Consequently, these scoring characteristics cannot be presented and should not be inferred without additional source documentation.

Applications

The Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II is widely applicable in educational research, health education, family studies, school psychology, public health, curriculum evaluation, and teacher education. It is particularly valuable for assessing parental and educator perspectives on sexuality education, evaluating educational needs, comparing attitudes across demographic or cultural groups, and informing the design of evidence-based family life education programs. The questionnaire is also employed in program evaluation studies, policy development, and community health initiatives aimed at improving communication about sexuality, promoting healthy relationships, strengthening informed decision-making, and enhancing the effectiveness of comprehensive sexuality education across family and school environments.
