Análisis de los Estereotipos de Género en alumnado de Formación Profesional: Diferencias según sexo, edad y grado

Abstract

Gender stereotypes, defined as beliefs on the different characteristics of women and men in our society, play a key role in the ways of thinking, interpreting and acting subjects, and how to relate to other people. In this paper we are interested in knowing the presence of gender stereotypes in vocational education students and see if there are differences according to sex, age and training course enrollment. To meet these objectives a descriptive study was made with a sample of 452 students attending first year of Intermediate and Higher training cycles in Galicia. The results, after application of the t-Test and analysis of variance show a rejection of young people and adolescents to gender stereotypes, finding differences by sex and training cycle. From these results it follows that even though something is changing in society, it is necessary to further sensitize the students equal to move towards a more just and egalitarian society.
