DEVELOPING SEDGA: AN INNOVATIVE BOARD GAME FOR ADOLESCENT SEXUALITY EDUCATION
Keywords:
Board Game, Reproductive Health, Adolescents, SexualityAbstract
Adolescence is a critical developmental phase characterized by significant biological, psychological, and social changes. In Indonesia, adolescents face numerous challenges, including risky sexual behaviors, unintended pregnancies, and exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. A primary contributing factor to their limited understanding of reproductive health is the lack of effective sexuality education. To address this issue, this study developed "SEDGA (Sex Education Game)," a board game designed as an interactive method to improve sexual health literacy among students at State Junior High School 19 in Bengkulu City. Utilizing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, the game was engineered to make sexuality education engaging and accessible. A pilot test was conducted with 20 students selected via purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results demonstrated a significant increase in respondents' knowledge following the intervention (p = 0.000 < 0.05$), proving that the SEDGA board game is an effective and innovative medium for enhancing adolescent sexual health awareness. Consequently, this study is expected to contribute to the advancement of school-based sexuality education policies in Indonesia.
