This article presents the results of a research carried out by the GRAFE group (Research Group for the Analysis of French Teaching), through the use of a device called Atelier Filé, implemented in three classes of an elementary school in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, with students aged between 8 and 10. The research aimed at understanding how specific and repeated didactic interventions for the teaching of gender in a controlled debate allow, at the same time, to promote the development of students’ argumentative abilities in French, and to influence students’ adherence to the gender system, central theme chosen for discussion in different controlled debates suggested by the device. Thus, the researchers aimed at investigating whether the device was effective as a procedure for citizen education, in order to form citizens aware of the social effects of gender inequality and linguistically active in the search for greater equality in the gender system.
