The article is devoted to the issues of training foreign military specialists in the universities of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which, in the context of the growing potential conflict in the world, seems to be the most important area of military-technical cooperation between Russia and friendly countries. One of the problems of professional training of foreign military personnel is the discrepancy between the culturally determined learning styles of all subjects of the educational process. The authors trace the influence of the cultural parameter "masculinity / femininity" on the national educational practices of foreign students and identify its symptoms in the culturally heterogeneous environment of a Russian military university. The article discusses various approaches to the interpretation of the binary opposition "masculinity / femininity" in a historical retrospective and the significance of this construct in modern science. The purpose of the article was a comparative study of the didactic aspect of the cultural parameter "masculinity / femininity" based on the typology of cultural dimensions proposed by the Dutch sociologist Geert Hofstede, as well as the latest scientific research in the field of cross-cultural didactics. Cultural-specific features of the educational process in educational institutions of different countries determine the forms and methods of teaching, educational communication and learning styles, affect the motivation and self-esteem of foreign students. The results of the study allow us to draw a conclusion about the role of the cross-cultural approach in the pedagogical design of the educational environment of the university of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the systematization of scientific experience in the study of the construct "masculinity / femininity" in the educational field. The practical significance of the work lies in the formation of systemic ideas about culturally determined goals, forms and methods of educational systems in different countries and the principles for developing effective tools for the educational process in a cross-cultural environment
