AB The unequal presence of women in scientific and technological fields compared to men may have  its  origins partly  in the  compulsory educational  stages  and performance  of teachers involved therein. This study aims to systematically review the existing literature on science and technology teacher training to address the gender gap in STEM studies, identifying  aspects  with  didactic  implications.  Following  the  PRISMA  systematic methodology, 37 references published between 2008 and 2022 were selected. The studies were carried out in 14 countries following different qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, together with the design and implementation of training proposals. The result  of  the  content analysis  of the  studies  is expressed  in five  emerging categories: attitudes  towards science  and  technology  and  their  teaching,  perceptions and  beliefs regarding the student profile, educational methodologies in pre-service teacher training, and the emotions and invisibility of female role models. In view of the results, up to now not enough attention has been paid to teacher training in aspects to address the teaching of scientific-technological disciplines from a gender perspective. It is proposed to train teachers through reflection to  detect  the  persistence of  gender inequality,  break  down stereotypes and incorporate female  role models into scientific-technological education, as well as consider the effect of emotions in the learning of these disciplines. The ultimate aim is to incorporate a gender perspective into the teaching identity of future science and technology  educators and,  so that  it  is  reflected  in their  teaching and  contributes  to reducing the gender gap in STEM professions
