Abstract

“In all environmental of every historical period the teaching of specific cultural values through education has promoted many personal, psychological and social qualities that we now call gender stereotypes. In a sense, the fact that of being man and woman, depending on the social function is identified with the progress of every period. Nowadays, there are still existing discrimination cases for women to access specific high positions of prestige and power at society. These facts can be seen at studies developed by education institutions. It is an authentic aim to avoid these types of discrimination of gender, not only, using short measures as a positive action, but also, maybe the most effective answer will be using long measures in a preventive way (changing ideas, perceptions, etc.) from a co educative style based on equality relations. Thus, in this paper we summarize the most important gender-related changes in our society and especially the ways and solutions developed, in the case of Spain, to improve the gender’s relations. On the other hand, how it is possible to restructure new roles with respect to gender through an educational models in our country based on establishing ideas, thoughts and feelings promoting equal opportunities in relation to difference and a positive attitude toward collaboration in housework (combining family and work life).”
