Gender Stereotypes in Educational Communication at Nursery Schools
Vol.14,No.1(2009)
People in School and their Relations
Abstract
This contribution refers to the existence of gender stereotypes in the content of teachers’ educational communication at nursery schools, commenting on a hidden curriculum through which boys and girls learn different things in the framework of preschool institutional education. The article offers a detailed view of how gender affects the communication of female teachers at nursery schools. Attention is not only drawn to specific gender stereotypes but also to the fact that teachers fail to reflect their own gender-stereotyped acting and communication.
