Abstract

"The fourth technological revolution introduces new changes in the direction and structure of world science. The content of the socio-humanitarian direction has expanded, and new concepts of education have appeared. Gender education is one of the fastest-developing areas of the social sphere of education. In Western countries, gender education began in the second half of the twentieth century and was carried out in Kazakhstan from the first years of sovereignty. The functioning of research centers focused on gender studies has had a beneficial effect on the formation of education in this area. Now half of the universities conduct gender-based disciplines with expanding priority directions. The sphere of gender knowledge, initially covering only the sociological direction, is filled with politics, economics, philology, and history. Gender education is considered as one of the most important components of the educational process of social and humanitarian specialists. Its content includes ideological and universal values. The problem of gender education and the study of the content of gender education are considered in various aspects. In Kazakhstan, gender education, and interdisciplinary connections are not clearly expressed, and the direction is not fully distinguishable. In this article, the gender education in Kazakhstan is studied, and creation of the concept of gender education is studied. Keywords: gender education, Kazakhstan, gender studies, gender-based disciplines, gender knowledge. "
