走向性别敏感教育———马丁的观点及其批评

Jane R. Martin' Conception of Gender-Sensitive Education and Its Criticism

性别教育作为教育领域一个重要议题，一直以来广受关注。马丁在批判柏拉图的“性别中立教育”和卢梭的“性别化”教育的基础上，首次提出了“性别敏感教育”。认为教育者应该敏于关注性别的自然差异以及社会意义，把握既定的性别刻板印象及其根源和后果，并采取在性别上更具包容性的措施。这一思想在广受赞誉的同时，也遭到一定质疑，认为其走向了本质主义和浪漫主义的深渊。在中国语境下，这一思想对当前我国面临的性别问题具有重要的借鉴意义。

She thinks that educators should be sensitive to the natural sex differences and its social signiticance， understand the established gender stereotypes and their causes and consequences， and then take more inclusive measures on gender. Despite being widely accepted ，some scholars have questioned Martin?s thoughts， considering that tt has fallen into the deep trap of the essentialism and romanticism . However， in the Chinese context， tt stil has important implications for the gender education issues in China.
