This article primarily aims to present research-based evidence to examine the main gender characteristics associated with socialization. It focuses on three aspects of socialization: gender socialization, religious socialization, and national socialization. Using the symbolic interaction theory and the socialization theory, this article particularly explores the construction and representation of gender identity through Iran’s educational system. According to the findings of this study, the dominance of male gender is the key pattern and a visible observation which applies to all aspects of socialization considered in this analysis. This provides further research-based evidence to support the existing knowledge in which the masculine hegemony is taken for granted in the society and economy, a principal pattern that is also internalized and transformed through educational media from generation to generation.
