Abstract

Basing its discussion upon the social construction theory, this paper aims to give a review of the studies done regarding the factors that influence children’s perceptions of gender in kindergarten environment, both physical and human-related. As studies have shown, the physical organization of kindergarten spaces, children’s toys and play practices, together with the gender awareness of kindergarten teachers can all have an influence on children’s identification of their own gender and their incorporation of conventional gender role models. This paper also gives some recommendations based on the influencing factors identified in the review.
