【摘要】全面性教育因其在促进年轻人性与生殖健康及权利方面的作用而得到全球认可。然而，对于“全面性”的定义和解读存在显著差异，暴露出国际与本土价值观和议程之间的矛盾。本研究聚焦于日本的情况，日本在性教育项目方面普遍被认为“落后于”国际标准。我们旨在以联合国教科文组织的《国际性教育技术指导纲要》为基准，探讨日本国家和地区性教育课程的全面性和差异性程度。我们使用Excel工具进行了定量和定性课程分析。研究结果显示，课程的全面性和地区多样性比之前报告的更高，尽管在更露骨的性主题和批判性性别视角方面仍然存在显著差距。这些结果表明，即使在日本保守的教育环境下，在全面性方面也取得了令人鼓舞的进展。然而，在权利等方面，日本的教育话语与国际社会普遍存在巨大差异，这导致人们认为该国的性教育项目缺乏全面性。这要求在全面性教育议程中增强文化责任感，同时又不损害其核心价值观以及对年轻人性健康和权利的保障。

[Abstract] Comprehensive Sexuality Education has been acknowledged globally for its role in advancing young people’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. Yet, notable variation exists in definitions and interpretations of what comprehensive means, exposing tensions between international and local values and agendas. This research focused on the situation in Japan, which is largely perceived as ‘lagging behind’ international standards in terms of its sexuality education programming. We aimed to explore the degree of comprehensiveness and variation within Japan’s national and regional sexuality education curricula, using UNESCO’s International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education as a benchmark. Quantitative and qualitative curriculum analysis was conducted using an Excel tool. Findings revealed greater comprehensiveness and regional diversity than previously reported, although significant gaps persist regarding more explicit sexual subject matter and critical gender perspectives. These results illustrated promising progress towards comprehensiveness, even in the conservative educational environment of Japan. Nonetheless, in aspects such as rights, Japanese educational discourse differs substantially from that of the wider international community, contributing to the perception that the country’s sexuality education programme lacks comprehensiveness. This calls for greater cultural responsivity within the Comprehensive Sexuality Education agenda, albeit without compromising its core values and safeguarding of young people’s sexual health and rights.
