När Hulken mötte Barbie
-Pedagogers förhållningssätt till könsstereotypa leksaker i förskolan
The aim of this study is to investigate how preschool teachers reason about gender stereotypical and gender neutral toys and other material. I would also like to see how the pedagogues reason about gender segregation when it comes to toys. To investigate the issue, I have interviewed three pedagogues from different preschools. The results showed that the work procedures differed a bit from school to school, although they all wanted to achieve the same goal. A goal that our curriculum mention as well: Not to make a difference between boys and girls. It was permeated during the interviews, that the interaction between children as well as between children and adults in the course of play is significant in order to achieve a good preschool environment. One had different approaches to achieve the goal though.I hope that this study will contribute to new ideas and thoughts on what role the pedagogues in preschools play regarding these materials and toys.
