ABSTRACT

Despite the great progress made in Chinese women’s cause, college students still hold a traditional gender concept. A survey of college students in Nanjing shows that school education and peer groups, rather than family gender relations and guidance of elders, are the dominant factors affecting college students' gender concept. Thus, based on the predicament of gender education in Chinese universities and the necessity of establishing compulsory courses in ideological education, integrating gender mainstreaming into the construction of ideological and political courses is not only an important way to innovate ideological and political education in colleges and universities, but also an effective means to enhance the awareness of gender equality among teachers and students. To this end, the paper will discuss the possibility and feasibility of integrating gender mainstreaming education into ideological and political courses in colleges and universities from the aspects of legal system construction, content system design, teaching staff organization, and social environment building of gender education.
