Urgency of the research. The gender approach is considered through the prism of social and cultural ideas, personal needs, exigencies and gender stereotypes of behavior. Gender competence is aimed at addressing gender issues. It’s an important component of identifying a boy or a girl. Orientation to a system of interrelated gender concepts, ideas and ways of behavior that ensure the development of the child's self-realization is needed in pedagogical activity. Features of gender differentiation and identification provide the value attitude of representatives of both sexes to each other in sports activities.

Target setting. One of the main problems of modernity is the accelerated progradation of gender identity as a set of essential personality traits. Do gender stereotypes affect the professional orientation of subjects of sports activities?

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Studies by V. Voronova [3], O. Kurdybacha [5], T. Petrovska [6], O. Shchotka [8] and others indicate the differentiation and identification of gender stereotypes, in particular in sports.

The research objective. Inter-action in the sports microenvironment is focused on the formation and approval of practice, which depends on the possibilities of individual’s self-realization. The gender aspect of life and consideration of sexual characteristics is projected on education, organization of subject of sports activities. At the center of a heterogeneous society is the gender competence of the individual, the essence of which, inter alia, depends on pedagogical practice in educational institutions.

The statement of basic material. Gender stereotypes are intertwined in relations in society, reflect gender differences, and consolidate traditional gender roles. The concept of gender stereotype means the ability of a person to generally assess the relationships of people in the world and is the basis for inferences and uncritical conclusions. The positive function of stereotypes is the person will be able to react quickly to the changes even with limited data. The process of cognition is a reflection of objective reality, in which stereotypes often have a conservative effect. They form erroneous knowledge and ideas, which negatively affect the processes of interpersonal interaction.

Conclusions. The process of constructing differences in gender science is linked to the process of gender competence. It’s the process of assimilation by a human individual of a certain system of knowledge, norms and values that allow functioning as a full member of society. It includes both controlled processes of purposeful impact on the personality, and spontaneous processes that affect its formation. The main institutions and agents of socialization are family, school, peer group, sports section. In general, this is the environment in which the process of assimilation, perception and reproduction of the corresponding gender standards takes place.

Keywords: gender roles, gender stereotypes, educational environment, subjects of sports activity.
