PRESCHOOLERS’ GENDER SOCIALIZATION LEVEL

The paper deals with the issue of gender socialization of children, which is considered as a process and a result of general and psychosexual development of a personality, the girl’s / boy’s individuality according to the age peculiarities of maturation, carried out in the system of relations with adults and peers of both genders. The paper aims to substantiate and identify the levels of gender socialization of children of senior preschool age. The evaluation was carried out according to the following criteria: cognitive, emotional, and value-behavioral. Each criterion included a group of qualitative indicators that identified the content and level of gender socialization of children. A diagnostic technique was developed for identifying the levels of children’s gender socialization, which made it possible to differentiate the levels of gender socialization of children quantitatively: sufficient, medium, and low. The experiment involved 80 children of both genders. According to the results of the implementation of a number of diagnostic methods and tasks by children, it has been established that most of the respondents have average and low levels of gender socialization. Thus, the results of the experiment on the examination of the levels of gender socialization of senior preschoolers have shown the need for the development and testing of an experimental program, which is going to be covered in the further studies.
