Resumen

Esta tesis explora la correlación entre los factores escolares y los resultados diferenciados sobre el comportamiento sexual entre niños y niñas en Bogotá. Se realizó un emparejamiento de la puntuación de propensión estratificada de la escuela para emparejar a cada uno de los niños de la muestra con las niñas más similares de cada hogar.
y las características de la escuela. Se realizó un análisis de regresión para estimar la correlación entre los cinco factores escolares evaluados con cuatro resultados principales: han tenido relaciones sexuales, uso del condón en la última relación sexual, incidencia de embarazos adolescentes y edad en la primera relación sexual. Los niños -en relación con las niñas- comienzan antes su vida sexual, más de ellos han usado preservativo en su última relación sexual y tienen una menor incidencia de embarazos en la adolescencia. Estas diferencias son
correlacionados con han reportado que la escuela es la principal fuente de conocimiento sobre salud reproductiva y métodos anticonceptivos, una mayor proporción de maestros con un título de posgrado o posgrado, una mayor proporción de maestros con un título de pedagogía relacionado y la edad promedio de los maestros en la escuela. Los resultados sugieren que el contenido del mensaje sobre el sexo que se transmite
a las niñas en la escuela no es completa ni exacta y que las competencias de los maestros de escuela encargados de esta tarea deberían mejorarse para llegar por igual a niños y niñas.

abstract = "This thesis explores the correlation between school factors and the differentiated results on sexual behaviour between boys and girls in Bogota. A school stratified propensity score matching was performed to match each boy of the sample with the most similar girls in individual, household and school characteristics. A regression analysis was performed to estimate the correlation between the five school factors evaluated with four main outcomes: have had sexual intercourse, condom use in the last sexual intercourse, incidence of teenage childbearing and age at first intercourse. Boys - in relation to girls - begin earlier their sexual life, more of them reported have used condom in their last sexual intercourse and have a lower incidence of teenage childbearing. These differences are correlated with have reported the school as main source of knowledge about reproductive health and contraceptive methods, a larger proportion of teachers with a graduate or postgraduate degree, a larger proportion of teachers with a related pedagogy degree and to the average age of teachers in the school. The results suggest that the content of the message about sex that is delivered to girls at school is not complete or accurate and that the competences of the school teachers in charge of this task should be improved to reach equally boys and girls.",
