Module 2 — Gender-Informed Pedagogy
Section outline
-
-
This module focuses on developing trainers’ understanding of gender-informed pedagogy and inclusive educational practices within Vocational Education and Training (VET).
Gender-informed pedagogy recognises that learners may experience education differently due to:
-
gender roles,
-
caregiving responsibilities,
-
social expectations,
-
discrimination,
-
unequal opportunities,
-
and structural inequalities.
For vulnerable mothers, these realities may affect:
-
confidence,
-
participation,
-
access to learning,
-
communication,
-
and educational progression.
This module introduces trainers to:
-
gender-sensitive facilitation,
-
inclusive communication,
-
trauma-sensitive educational approaches,
-
empowerment-based learning,
-
and learner-centred educational strategies.
Participants will reflect on:
-
educational bias,
-
representation,
-
inclusive classroom practices,
-
and the creation of equitable learning environments.
The module encourages trainers to create learning spaces that are:
-
respectful,
-
empowering,
-
accessible,
-
emotionally safe,
-
and supportive of diverse learner experiences.
-
-
-
-
By the end of this module, participants will be able to:
-
understand the principles of gender-informed pedagogy,
-
recognise barriers and inequalities affecting women learners,
-
identify unconscious bias in educational environments,
-
apply inclusive communication strategies,
-
and create supportive and empowering learning spaces.
-

Participants will:
-
strengthen awareness of gender-sensitive educational approaches,
