Özet:

The aim of the study is to determine the gender role attitudes of students and the factors affecting them. The research was conducted in Sivas Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Education. As the population number of the study was known, a sample account was made and 350 people were included in the study. The data of the study were collected by using Personal Information Form and Gender Role Attitude Scale (TCRQ). The data were evaluated in SPSS 22 program. 73.7% of the students stated that women and men do not have equal rights in Turkish society, 65.4% said that the reason of the inequality is social structure and 39.7% of them stated that they experienced gender discrimination. The mean total score of the female students was found to be statistically higher than the male students (p <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender roles sub-dimension as their mothers’ education level (p> 0.05). On the other hand, according to the educational status of the father, the role of gender equality, female gender role, traditional gender role and male gender roles are the sub- dimensions, and there was a statistically significant difference between the sub-dimension mean scores (p <0.05). It was found that the students taking part in the study have a generally egalitarian gender role. On the other hand, it has been found that female students have higher egalitarian gender roles and attitudes than male students. Three-quarters of the participants stated that inequality between women and men is a fundamental problem of Turkish society, and their commitment to social structure as the cause of this inequality also reveals their level of knowledge about the concept of gender. In contrast to many sections of the society, students are well-equipped about gender. It has been found that students who have gender discrimination have a more egalitarian perspective than those who do not.
