Annotation The article deals with the problem of the personality’s gender upbringing. The author states the conditionality of the personality’s gender education on the societal transformations taking place in culture and leading to a confusion of social roles of men and women in all spheres of human life and activity. The author shows different points of view to understand the nature of gender, reveals the approaches to the education of individual men and women in Russian and Western pedagogy. The article highlights the differences in the gender approach to education in Russia, involving differentiation of the roles of men and women depending on their gender, and the gender-based approach to education in the West, creating the conditions for the development of a culture of human behavior, taking into account not only gender, but also individual characteristics, social demands and cultural environment of the individual. The author emphasizes the lack of preparedness and practical implementation of these approaches. The article substantiates the idea of creating a new approach to the education of individual men and women based on the complementarity of the existing approaches in Russia and Western pedagogy.
