Villanueva, MAGC Abstract: Teachers and even PSTs are now expected to demonstrate important characteristics such as gender sensitivity and inclusive traits. Gender Sensitivity and Inclusive Traits of Preservice Teachers toward Competent Teaching were determined in this study. The gender sensitivity, inclusive traits, and competent teaching of 114 PSTs at a state university were determined using a descriptive-correlational design. For a more valid Pearson-r result, the study used a total population sampling of PSTs. Four experts validated the study's questionnaires, which were pilot-tested to 51 PSTs from a different campus but in the same university. It was revealed that gender sensitivity and inclusive traits toward competent teaching in PSTs had a significant and strong positive relationship. Gender sensitivity, inclusive traits, and competent teaching exhibit a significant relationship, indicating that respondents believe these traits play a vital role in shaping PSTs into competent professional educators in the future. It is recommended that PSTs continue to cultivate gender-sensitive and inclusive characteristics in their classrooms and interactions with the school community.
