Deskribapena:The problem of why female university students receive less academic recognition and promote themselves less, despite their better academic results, is a matter of great concern. Some studies suggest that this is due to gender stigma (Pinel, 1999), and others cite the impostor phenomenon (Cokley, Awad, Smith, et al. 2015). Our goal was to check if pre-service teachers in our programs showed any of these signs, since if so, it could become a problem because they are transmitters of social constructs in their classes. This research analyzes the conceptions that teachers have about gender and about the behavior that men and women usually have towards each other. A questionnaire was administered to 189 students of the University of Alicante, and the results revealed the presence of gender stigma. This leads us to reflect on the relationship between the imprint of gender and its promotion by teachers in the teaching profession, as well as the transmission of stigma to society through its teachings.
