Sažetak
The process during which children learn behaviour and acquire attitudes considered appropriate for their sex is called gender or sex typing. During our growing up, parents, educators, teachers, peers, the media and other socialization factors indicate very clearly what kind of behaviour is appropriate or inappropriate to boys/men and to girls/women. Through socialization, children internalise specific gender role and accept it as their own. A strong influence on children, in addition to parents, have educators in nursery school, where behavioural differences between girls and boys can develop. A qualitative and quantitative research was conducted among children and educators in nursery school in order to verify the existence of gender typing. The research results confirm the existence of differences among children in the selection of toys and that parents relate to children according to their gender, which is also evident in the clothing of children. Both girls and boys do not consider male gender better than female gender. Educators do not use strategies and behaviours of gender typing in their work. Still, gender typing is being observed in educators’ assessments of desirable characteristics with respect to gender.
