MODEL OF FORMATION OF GENDER EDUCATION IN THE PROCESS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY

Abstract

The relevance of the topic lies in raising the question of the importance of implementing gender education, because it is with its help that students will be able to understand more deeply the entire structure of human relations, and accordingly build their personality more harmoniously, and adults will understand and get rid of outdated stereotypes and improve relationships with others. The purpose of this article is to consider and justify the model of gender education in the process of human activity. The research methods consisted in a meaningful analysis of the work of scientists in the field of gender studies, namely how they described the main concepts and their relationship. As a result, we modeled and described the stages of the formation of gender education (I – explanation of the difference between sex and gender; II – sex and gender socialization; III – gender homogenization; IV – accumulation of knowledge about gender culture and stereotypes; V – accumulation of knowledge about gender roles; VI – the formation of a person's gender identity; VII – the formation of a person's gender consciousness), as well as factors that affect all this development (social, cultural, pedagogical, psychological). In conclusion, we conclude that gender is a dynamic and contextual construct, and its formation depends on the interaction of various factors, such as culture, social context, upbringing and individual experience. And also that the quality of knowledge about understanding all the features of gender can be positively influenced, for example, by conducting educational activities on the relevant topic (getting rid of stereotypes, getting to know different cultures, playing different gender roles, helping in the formation of identity, etc.). Accordingly, without these measures, a person, when studying these questions on his own, may delay at certain stages and take a long time to understand, and even find incorrect answers that will not help him improve his life. Therefore, the implementation of gender education will contribute to positive changes in attitudes towards gender, help build a personality based on one's own values and beliefs, and also contribute to the improvement of relationships between people in all spheres of life.
