Under the conditions of the liberalization of sexual morality, social and cultural stereotypes of female and male behavior are
changing, and gender roles are becoming mixed, which in turn leads to changes in children's behavior. These trends contribute
to various personality deformations, emotional instability, and a lack of behavioral guidelines for children. This makes the
research on gender education for primary school students relevant. The development and testing of an original variant of the
content of gender education in primary school were conducted based on mixed methods: surveys, observations, conversations,
S. Bem's Sex and Gender Questionnaire, the Methodology of Gender and Age Identification (L.N. Belopolskaya), and the
methodology ‘Draw Yourself’ (A.M. Prikhozhan and Z. Vasiliauskaite). Research Results: Based on the conducted analysis,
an original variant of the content of gender education was developed. The criteria, indicators, and levels of gender maturity
of primary school students were determined. A differentiated approach to the upbringing of boys and girls is necessary, taking
into account gender characteristics. The proposed innovative approach, including forms and methods of education such as
training sessions, case analysis, and role-playing games, enhances the effectiveness of the gender education program for
students.
