Summary/Abstract: Stereotypes and prejudices influence our daily lives, and in certain circumstances we operate withthem, despite the fact that we think we are free of prejudices. Not infrequently, they can becomebarriers in the communication, knowledge and acceptance of those around us; from this point ofview, we must have the readiness to deal with our own prejudices, so that we do not reachsituations of discrimination, marginalization, rejection or exclusion of some people on subjectivegrounds, influenced by stereotypes and misrepresentations about others (we often observe that ourattitude and behavior towards a stranger is influenced by the way that person looks or is dressed).This study is based on stereotypes. It aims to identify attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate orchallenge gender stereotypes in education. We will see what is stereotype, prejudice,discrimination, we will go a little bit on gender, cultural and language stereotypes, and finally wewill see concrete examples within a school unit. This theme has become a problem of society.Stereotypes give rise to prejudices, and further discrimination. And during this research I noticedthat since we were born, these things have been instilled in us.
