By embedding these elements into the curriculum,higher education institutions aim to prepare students not only to excel in their careers but also tocontribute meaningfully to an interconnected and culturally diverse world. The focus onperspective-taking supports the development of transferable skills, such as interculturalcommunication and ethical reasoning, which are essential for addressing global challenges [12].Despite these initiatives, the effective teaching of perspective-taking skills remains a challenge .Research demonstrates that perspective-taking significantly influences ethical reasoning anddecision-making, yet how to teach and retain this ability effectively is less understood [4].While theoretical frameworks and

Once internalized, this stereotype begins to shape their interestsand can significantly constrain the range of careers they consider in the future [9, 10]. When, from an early age,girls are exposed to the pervasive stereotype that men possess superior abilities in mathematics and science; thiscan negatively impact their experiences and opportunities across multiple stages of their lives [11]. This usuallyresults in girls exhibiting diminished interest in STEM related fields and are less inclined to pursue them.
