Abstract

Gender stereotypes are ‘normalized’ in current educational systems worldwide, especially in early childhood play environments. However, these stereotypical toys and games might distort the development of young children’s gender identities. This literature review selects eight typical articles to explore gender issues in contemporary early childhood play settings. Specifically, this review focuses on educators’ different gender attitudes toward children’s play and children’s own play preferences. In addition, it discusses suitable research methods and summarizes the insights drawn from these researches. Finally, it provides implications for future research.
