Socialization training : gender roles in education - selected issues

How does the process of socialization to gender roles look like? Does the school respond to changes in society? An analysis of research on this subject rather indicates that the implementation of adaptive function of school seems to be adopting such schemes of gender roles and as a consequence it imposes an existing set of social and professional roles. The result of such socialization process, in which social reality is decomposed into a binary axis of masculinity and femininity, is quite comfortable. However, it is a limited world. The crucial point of socialization is not to provide ready answers and prescriptions, but to construct the starting points beyond the dominant interpretations of the world, to point out the locality and historicity of the seemingly universal judgements and to move away from the “safe knowledge” assumption
