This study established the concepts of gender equity and gender equity education through the review of literature and developed a learning model for gender equity education. The model consists of three stages, namely, problem identifying, implementation, and expansion. Three approaches, namely, a soft approach, a hard approach, and a critical approach are utilized in the implementation stage. Continuous longitudinal studies will be necessary to examine the effects and utilization of the gender equity education model which is developed in this study. This study also suggests teaching/learning strategies and material development methods to implement gender equity in science education sites, and examines the effects of those strategies and materials through one case study.
