Abstract

This study investigates the application and effects of gender-sensitive pedagogy within educational contexts, emphasising how teaching methods that recognise and uphold gender equality can shape students' attitudes, engagement levels, and academic performance. Gender-sensitive pedagogy is an approach to teaching that recognises and values gender diversity and gender equality, actively seeking to reduce gender biases and stereotypes within the educational environment. The primary objective of gender-sensitive pedagogy is to cultivate an environment that empowers students to adopt an equitable perspective, nurtures empathy, and fosters respect among different genders. Through an extensive review of existing literature and the collection of empirical data, this study investigates methods for enhancing gender sensitivity in curriculum development, teacher-student relationships, role modelling and representation, teacher training and awareness, and classroom management. The study utilises a mixed-methods approach, integrating classroom observations, surveys, and interviews with teachers and students to examine the impact of gender-sensitive teaching practices. The findings indicate that when teachers can identify and confront explicit and implicit gender biases, students demonstrate increased self-confidence, enhanced interpersonal skills, and greater empathy towards their peers. The research also depicts that gender-sensitive pedagogy plays a significant role in diminishing gender-based stereotypes and aids students in cultivating a more sophisticated understanding of gender equality.
