CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING GENDER CHARACTERISTICS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

This scientific article comprehensively analyzes the theoretical and methodological foundations of identifying gender characteristics in the educational process, their pedagogical significance, and possibilities for practical application. In the modern education system, a learner-centered approach is considered a priority, in which the individual characteristics of students, including gender differences, occupy an important place. During the research, the essence of the concept of gender, its social and psychological aspects, and its influence on the educational process were studied. The article substantiates psychological, cognitive, social, behavioral, and motivational factors as criteria for identifying gender characteristics. In addition, the negative impact of gender stereotypes on students’ development is revealed. Based on the research findings, practical recommendations were developed for implementing a gender-sensitive pedagogical approach. The results demonstrate that an educational process organized on the basis of a gender approach increases students’ activity, strengthens their self-confidence, and improves their social adaptation. This article has significant scientific and practical importance for teachers, researchers, and specialists in the field of education.
