Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the disparities in perceptions regarding gender-related matters among students at K University, determined by their gender, and to propose solutions within the university education system. The results of the study are as follows. First, many men believe that there is no structural discrimination against women and that men are discriminated against, whereas women show the opposite. Second, men and women show statistically significant differences in perception of women's level of effort, reasons for low income, and work ability after employment. Third, men show unfavorable attitudes towards feminism compared to women. Fourth, the reasons men show hostile attitudes toward the female quota system and feminism include the influence of the traditional gender role model imposed on men and the difference in men's and women's views on structural inequality. To reduce the perception gap between men and women, it is necessary to reconsider hegemonic masculinity, apply issue-centered education using accurate information, publicize issues by preparing a mistake-friendly space, and respond to the perception gap at the university level from the perspective of citizenship education.

본 논문의 목적은 K대학 학생들의 성별에 따른 젠더 관련 이슈에 대한 인식 차이를 살펴보고 대학 교육 체계 내에서의 대응 방안을 제안하는 것이다. 연구 결과 첫째, 남성은 여성에 대한 구조적 차별은 존재하지 않고 역으로 남성이 차별 받고 있다고 생각하는 반면, 여성의 경우 이와는 반대되는 인식을 보이고 있다. 둘째, 여성의 노력 정도 및 소득이 낮은 이유, 취업 후 업무능력등에 대해서도 남녀는 유의미한 인식 차이를 나타낸다. 셋째, 남성들의 경우 여성에 비해 페미니즘에 대해 비우호적인 태도를 보이고 있다. 넷째, 남성들이 여성 할당제와 페미니즘에 대해 적대적 태도를 보이는 이유로는 남성에게 부과되는 전통적인 성 역할 모델의 영향과 구조적 불평등에 대한 남녀의 관점 차이를 들 수 있다. 이와 같은 현실 인식의 남녀 간 격차를 줄이기 위해서는 헤게모니적 남성성에 대한 고찰, 정확한 정보를 바탕으로 한 쟁점 교육, 실수 친화적 공간 마련을 통한 쟁점의 공론화, 그리고 시민 교육의 관점에서 대학 차원의 대응이 필요하다는 점을 제안하였다.
