The researcher takes the gender topics as the focus of courses in classroom teaching situation and applies the empowerment concept raised by Freire (1970) to form classroom interaction mode, so as to evaluate the positive influence of the courses on university students’ transgender cognitions and attitudes. This research adopts the action research method. With the valid samples of 31 male and 16 female university students, the study interprets the design by the sequence of mixed methods. Tests are conducted before and after class by means of the gender stereotype scales and attitudes toward transgender scales to see the change of students ’gender cognitions and attitudes. The qualitative materials are analyzed, including two open questions, study notes and the teachers’ reflective notes. Quantitative data is used to check the differences shown in the test before and after the courses. Qualitative materials are used for content analysis to summarize and analyze the text documents according to the research questions. The results of the research show that university students’ gender stereotype has a significant change while the attitude on transgender has slightly changed. The reasons of the change include transgender course learning, transgender communication experience and permeability of personal gender archetype structure, etc. Based on the research results, the researcher puts forward suggestions for future research and teaching practices. |
