While the Covid-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of lives and
forced some business operations to close due to social distancing,
education must stay available in many countries. The migration of
education to remote learning requires that teacher competency
standards should be revised to accommodate the new normal world.
This research aims to revise sex competency framework for teachers
in primary and secondary schools in the context of digital
transformation age and social distancing. The Delphi technique was
used to obtain consensus from 12 panelists and 264 teachers. A
confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the adequacy
of the standards. The change in ratings was marginal after two
rounds, so the results were deemed consistent. Six standards were
proposed including: be aware of gender issues, design a sex
education plan, organise sex education activities, deliver sex content
via remote learning, examine and evaluate sex education, and
consult and support for gender issues. An Augmented Reality tool
was provided to support teachers to meet the requirements of the
new standards. The unified theory of acceptance and use of
technology model was used to evaluate the developed tool. Results
from the generalised structure component analysis largely confirmed
the hypothesised model.
