DIDACTIC ASPECTS OF THE STUDY OF GENDER STEREOTYPES (BY THE MATERIAL OF EXPERIMENTS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF KAZAKHSTAN)

Abstract

The article deals with the didactic aspects of the method of teaching the Russian language, taking into account gender stereotypes of linguistic consciousness in educational institutions of Kazakhstan. The results of an experimental study conducted with the aim of identifying gender stereotypes of ideas about male (masculine) and female (feminine) qualities among representatives of the Russian and Kazakh ethnic groups are analyzed. The material of the study presented in this article was a mass experiment in the format of a questionnaire on the topic "Your ideas about masculine (masculine) and feminine (feminine) qualities." Using a heuristic, partly search method, students themselves, through purposeful observations during the experiment, are included in the research process, the results of which demonstrate various characteristic ideas about masculinity and femininity in groups of experiment participants, ranked by gender and ethnic factors. The relevance of experimental studies of gender stereotypes was due to the need for scientific substantiation of certain stable ideas that are intuitively present in our minds about the social role, status and behavior of members of the opposite sex in different ethno-cultural societies. The issue of the manifestation of masculinity and femininity among modern male and female representatives, carriers of various linguistic cultures, is becoming increasingly relevant at the present time. At the same time, one of the important areas of gender research is the study of gender stereotypes. The subject of this study was the gender stereotypes of linguistic consciousness in the perception of the image of the ideal man of the "stronger sex" and the woman of the "weaker sex", as well as a description of the features of the manifestation of femininity and masculinity - male and female models of speech behavior. An analysis of the results of our experimental study shows that the male picture of the world differs significantly from the female one in certain parameters, especially in the differences between the preferences of men and women and in the choice of dominant characteristics. Apparently, this happens under the influence of ethnic, cultural, social and psychological factors, which ensures gender representation in the language. Using research methods, students learn through the accumulated material, its comprehension and generalization, independently receive new knowledge in the Russian language. Thus, our study demonstrates a trend towards a gradual increase in the cognitive activity and independence of students.
