Abstract
This study investigated the perceptions of early childhood teachers regarding the topic of gender equity in their classrooms and in education in general. A self-developed survey asked kindergarten through third grade educators to anonymously reflect on gender differences among their students in the areas of play activities, discipline and instructional needs, classroom structure, curriculum materials, and teaching methods. Data were analyzed by determining common trends in the teachers’ responses, thereby giving insight into their perceptions of the needs of male and female students. Results indicated that the respondents viewed their students as equal in abilities and considered gender equity to be an important issue. However, the teachers also stated that they do not consciously think about gender equity in their daily practices, indicating that this issue may still be part of the “hidden curriculum”.
