Gender aspects of parental choise of traditional and Montessori kindergarten
Kučerová Uriková, Dana ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
The thesis deals with gender aspects of parental choice of common and Montessori kindergarten. The theoretical part focuses on topics related to both gender identity and its development and with the preschool period, which is described primarily in terms of gender. Given that important parts of childhood are toys, the theoretical part also focuses on the gender aspect and explores it. Gender equality is offered as one of the possible approaches to children upbringing and education. The Montessori method of education occupies a large space of the theoretical part. The thesis also compares Montessori kindergartens with common kindergartens. Research of the thesis is based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with mothers of children in the pre-school and early school age. This analysis goes through all the interviews. It searches and then compares common categories. The research shows that parents choosing a kindergarten for their child do not reflect forms of gender socialization in the kindergarten. Alternative kindergarten is often chosen by parents of children who apply elements of gender- sensitive education in their upbringing. Parents, who chose child Montessori kindergarten for their child, have more specific and clearly defined selection criteria than parents collecting common...

Gender Issues of Playing with Dolls
Zborníková, Dana ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Sotáková, Hana (referee)
The topic of my bachelor's thesis is related to gender socialization and accepted stereotypes, which lead to a different education and interests of girls and boys. Main aim of my research is to explore attitudes of preschool children to different types of dolls and the toy choice itself. As play is a key activity in preschool age, it is important to know attitude and preferences of children to one of most used kind of toy. Another goal of my thesis is to figure out, whether the oldest children in kindergarten are gender distinctive and if their distinctiveness is displayed while playing with dolls and in dialog. I have also observed whether children in the doll's selection prefer physical appearance, or the cultural characteristics. According to the theory of development we may expect that preschool children have built basic gender identity, which is perceived by them as partly changable. I have chosen individual controlled interview and semi-structured observation to achieve the results. My research shows that children have a similar idea of toys that are designed to boys and girls (doll, car, building kit, Gormits). It is interesting that both girls and boys consider doll to be toy for both genders, although boys consider it after all to be rather feminine.

What do children do when they play? Acts of game with a doll and a toy car
Zborníková, Dana ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Sotáková, Hana (referee)
Game is a key activity in preschool age, theme of my thesis is therefore related to acts of game and a role of toys in this particular age. Aim of my research is to describe gaming activities with toys, primarily with a doll and a toy car, which are the most typical toys for preschool children. It is very important for kindergarten teachers to know childrens preferences and attitude to the most used types of toys, because it is them, who choose the offer of toys and equipment of class. In theoretical part, I try to find out which areas of development are affected by game. Practical part deals with a semi-structured observation of game process and it determines game's gender dimension. By a method of interview with 27 parents and 25 children I try to find out their knowledge of basic toys, choice of toy itself, which toys kids possess and which toys they prefer. It can be expected, that preschool age children have built a basic gender identity, that is perceived by them as partly changeable. For this reason, my research focuses on gender distinctiveness, which could occur during an interview or a game. The research has proved gender categorization of dolls and toy cars. Children and parents had both a similar idea about toys intended for boys or girls. Children have about 200 different toys at...
