Love in the time of Media; exploring young peoples' experiences of learning about sexuality in digital spaces.

该研究项目旨在探索年轻人在数字空间中学习性知识并继续进行亲密行为的方式——作为一个空间，这为性和关系教育提供了一个非正式的背景，这对于理解更全面、更明智的正式提供是必要的。它提出了一种混合方法，采用定量调查-基于互联网的范围调查问卷-结合实验性定性研究，借鉴参与性艺术研讨会，以敏感的方式探索数字空间中的性生活经验。该研究将重点关注7年级和11年级的学生，并解决性和关系教育方面的研究差距，为这一领域的政策以及数字能力和福祉的政策领域提供信息。

The research project aims to explore the ways in which young people learn about sexuality and go on to engage in intimate practices in digital spaces - as a space this provides an informal context for sex and relationship education, which is necessary to understand for more holistic and better informed formal provision. It proposes a mixed methods approach employing quantitative surveys - an internet based questionnaire for scoping - combined with experimental qualitative research drawing on participatory arts-based workshops to explore in sensitive ways the lived experience of sexuality in digital spaces. The research will focus on year 7 and year 11 pupils and address research gaps in sex and relationships education to inform policy in this area, as well as the policy areas of digital competency and well-being.
