This study explores the integration of peace culture, gender equality and mental wellbeing in science curricula in higher education, specifically in the psychopedagogy degree program at the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí. The research proposes a transformative educational model that integrates socioemotional dimensions in traditional science education, with emphasis on peaceful conflict resolution techniques, deconstruction of gender stereotypes and mental health promotion. Work was carried out with 40 students through the design of didactic materials with a gender focus and the implementation of practical activities that foster dialogue, emotional self-care and critical analysis of gender roles in scientific contexts. At the end of the course, surveys were administered that revealed a positive impact on scientific conceptual understanding, the fostering of collaborative environments and student perception of the social relevance of science. The results demonstrate that this comprehensive approach significantly improves the academic learning and professional training of future educators, who can implement these strategies to create lasting change in educational environments, advocating for a holistic educational paradigm that prioritizes both cognitive and socioemotional development within the scientific domain.
