The purpose The purpose of this study was to compare and observe research trends of sex education for young children・elementary school students・middle school students, provide base material for research on sex education, and present research prospects and tasks for the future. For this, 30 theses from Korean journals related to sex education for young children・elementary school student s・middle school students from years 2000 to 2019 were extracted and analysis was conducted on the general trends (by research period and by academic field) of sex education and they were categorized by research topic, by research subject, and by research method. Research results showed that, with research period, research increased in the mid-2000s and with journal trends by research subject, and was published in 24 journals. Second, with regard to research topic aspects, most studies looked into ‘sex education perceptions and conditions’ and research dealing with ‘gender concept development’ and ‘program development and teaching method strategies’ also increased. Third, in terms of the research subjects, there were 9 papers for children, 6 papers for elementary students, 14 papers for middle school students, 2 for high school students, and 9 papers for teachers and parents. Fourth, with trends according to research methods, the quantitative research method of ‘questionnaires’ was used most and following were ‘literary studies’ and ‘interviews’, in that order. Reflecting these research results, discussions were presented and proposals for future studies were made.
