Addressing gender in early childhood education and care in Slovenia

Lukan, Mojca (author), Hočevar, Andreja (author), Kovač Šebart, Mojca (author)

We present how gender treatment is envisaged in the formal framework that defines early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Slovenia, with special emphasis on the curricular document, which frames the system and concept of ECEC in Slovenia. We present in detail how the latter deals with the issue of gender in individual areas of activities in ECEC settings. In addition, we present the results of the empirical survey we conducted among future early childhood educators where we explored whether in ECEC settings they would be willing to read fairy tales that open up the issue of gender from various perspectives, and if not, what reasons they give for this.
