Research Purpose Participation in community practice can stimulate learning motivation and promote the application of knowledge and technology. This study aimed to understand the changes in integrating gender equity education into children's play therapy courses. It invited college students to participate in the implementation of gender equity education in elementary schools and further observed the resulting effects on college students' gender equity awareness. Research Design/Method/Approach This study adopted a qualitative mixed study and purposive sampling method to collect samples. The research participants were 29 college students in the intervention group and 19 in the control group. The intervention group attended elementary schools to conduct gender equity education unit courses, whereas the control group consisted of college students who did not conduct gender equity courses. The research tools used were the Gender Equity Scale (GES) and worksheets documenting the college students' written experiences. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, covariate analysis, and template analysis. Research Findings or Conclusions The results showed that after controlling for pre-test scores, the total scores of gender equity awareness, gender regulations and space, gender traits and restrictions, gender roles, and interactions from the intervention group were significantly higher than those from the control group. The qualitative research data also support the results of the quantitative data. Implementing a gender equality education course for elementary school students has a significant effect on college students’gender equity awareness. Research Originality/Value Using the elementary school courses to help students acquire professional knowledge and supplement the integration of gender equity issues in their own professional counseling courses, this curriculum design emphasizes empowerment, practice, and dialogue, and the development of teaching materials and plans. The implementation of gender equity unit courses for elementary school students can significantly promote the improvement of college students' gender equity awareness. Educational Policy Recommendations and Applications Psychology-related professional courses should use a three-stage curriculum design: introduction to feminism and gender analysis theory and development of lesson plans; implementation of gender equity education unit courses; and university classroom report results and reflective discussions. This design will allow college students to increase gender equity awareness in practice. |
