The course is an opportunity to systematically present scientific knowledge concerning the psychological mechanisms of masculinity and femininity formation against the background of biological laws and cultural characteristics. The aim of the course is for future teachers to understand the socio-cultural construct of gender identity and to reflect the risks of gender stereotypes, especially for school education in co-educated classes. Equality, which is a fundamental principle of democratic education, must also include equality of access and treatment of girls and boys. The course will discuss different approaches to promoting gender equality in education. The course consists of six meetings where students read the recommended reading (chapters from books, professional empirical articles, analytical reports from national or international surveys, school-political documents, etc.) and work out individual or group tasks of a practical nature. The meeting serves for theoretical framing of the discussed topic, for presentation of application tasks and for discussion. The course is divided into the following six thematic blocks, each of which is devoted to a separate meeting and related reading and ongoing tasks: 1. Gender and gender socialization - Biological gender and gender. Gender roles and gender identity. Psychological theories of gender identity development. Basic mechanisms of gender socialization.
