PROVIDING GENDER EQUALITY OF TEACHERS TO LESSONS OF LABOR EDUCATION: METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

Abstract

The article considers the technologies of ensuring gender equality in the lessons of labor education. It is established that the content of gender education of students is oriented on the development of value orientations, the acquisition of the content of gender education, as well as the practical application of the acquired knowledge and values in everyday life. Overcoming stereotyped thinking from a gender issue in the lessons of labor training in Ukrainian schools is clearly in line with the strategy for introducing gender equality and non-discrimination in the field of education. Due to insufficient coverage of the problem under study in scientific literature, there is no single clear concept of gender education and the upbringing of students at the lessons of labor education and technology in the Ukrainian high school. Educational institutions have a major role in the gender education of children. Positive steps of Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and The Institute for the Modernization of Education, carried out in relation to the updating of the curriculum, the examination of textbooks, aimed at overcoming the problem of gender inequality in the lessons of labor education. Teachers-practitioners, by overcoming the gender problem in the learning process, offer interesting technologies for the implementation of creative student’s workshops. Overcoming gender inequality in lessons will open up a wide range of types of work to children. Often, teachers have a problem with the lack of workshops for girls and boys, so they have to choose projects that are suitable for both sexes. During the survey, the following modules were proposed: matchmaking, gannut, kinussayga, string art, marquetry, applique, origami, paper modeling of clothing and architecture, paper plastics, weaving from newspaper tubes. Artistic modeling of small sculptural plastics of animate, floral, gastronomic, technological or anthropological character from polymer clay, plasticine, cold porcelain, salty dough may interest children of all ages and sexes. Making of relief gifts, body parts for creation of dolls, bouquets of flowers, volumetric abstract and thematic panels, magnets, which can then be painted with acrylic and varnish, will allow to show designer creativity of boys and girls not only in the classroom, but also in extra time. These techniques can be diversified, ranging from plane images to voluminous and vice versa, changing the texture and materials, combining technology.
