Summary/Abstract: The paper concludes investigations of the different aspects of the theory of learning styles connected with the gender factor. There are a number of definitions of learning styles, the theoretical study of gender differences in different aspects of the learning process and its connection with the learning styles of secondary students. The author of the present article investigates gender differences in patterns of knowledge in the process of language learning. The distinction between “sex” and “gender” is a frequent topic for debates within feminist research and epistemology. A common use of the term “sex” is to restrict it to referring to biological distinctions between males and females, while reserving the term “gender” to refer to the psychological features or attributes associated with these categories (Deaux, 1985). The use of gender is more accurate for the connection to “the gender system” identified by feminist researchers, since it marks the cultural and structural dimension.
