| Description | The paper presents preliminary results of a study exploring the students' experience with debunking gender stereotypes. The participants of the research are eight students of a Czech faculty of education who attended a course on gender-sensitive education. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and were analysed using the Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis. The preliminary results show that debunking gender stereotypes may be empowering but also challenging. The article claims that enhancing gender awareness of future educators is crucial for promoting the value of equal opportunities. |
