“…As age increases, the developed gender roles manifest in their most explicit state during adulthood (Guldu & Ersoy-Kart, 2009). In almost all the societies, children learn the existing gender roles explicitly and implicitly from a variety of channels, such as family (Bussey & Bandura, 1999;Leaper, 2014;Lindsey, 2016;Witt, 1997, Yagan-Guder & Guler-Yildiz, 2016, teachers (Asan, 2010;Bussey & Bandura, 1999), schools (Bussey & Bandura, 1999;Esen 2015;Gumusoglu, 2008;Kalayci & Hayirsever, 2014;Kirbasoglu-Kilic & Eyup, 2011;Martin, 2011 (Aina & Cameron, 2011;Bussey & Bandura, 1999;Lindsey, 2016;Serbin, Connor, Burchardt & Citron, 1979), fairy tales (Sezer, 2004), TV programs for children (Aubrey & Harriston, 2004;Barner, 1999), advertisements (Furnham, Babitzkow & Uguccioni, 2000), cartoons (Kalayci, 2015), plays (Martin, 2011;O'Connor, McCormack, Robinson & O'Rourke, 2017), computer games (Kan, 2012), courses (Gumusoglu, 2008;Dokmen, 1995;Esen, 2015) and illustrated books for children (Catalcali-Soyer, 2009;Oskamp, Kaufman & Wolterbeek, 1996).…”

“…However, this assertion must be specified taking into account that, if there are barriers around the child that hinder his/her participation in activities associated with physical exercise (such as a lack of parental support, absence of close models of healthy lifestyle, lack of a safe environment where PA can be practiced in his/her community, etc.) [47,48], the child will carry out activities related to sedentary behaviors in his/her spare time, such as, in this case, watching TV.…”

Background: Promoting healthy lifestyles in children, has become a priority for public health institutions. However, electronic devices with screens encourage sedentary behaviors. The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of the habits of physical activity practice and television watching in a cohort of 20 years of research in Spanish children. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was based on data from the Spain National Health Surveys between 1997 and 2017 (N = 11,444). The dependent variables considered were the frequency with which the minor practiced physical activity (PA) in his/her spare time, the daily TV viewing habit, and the daily hours of TV viewing. Results: The children who practiced physical activity daily has decreased 7.3% throughout the study period. The proportion of children who watched the television daily for more hours increased significantly (6.3%). Such increase was constant throughout the years, and the analysis by sex showed that the proportion of boys who watched television for more than three hours per day increased three percent, and that of girls increased fourfold. Conclusions: The habits of physical activity practice and television viewing have changed towards sedentary lifestyle. Particularly, the girls and the children between 12 and 14 years showed the most sedentary behavior. Public health policies must consider the differences between sexes in order for such interventions to be effective in the population of pre-adolescents, in general, and girls, in particular.

“…How the treatment of teachers or educators on children is differentiated by gender, the broader is the opportunity to explore opportunities to gain knowledge and learning experiences. An example is that boys will be given the opportunity to explore activities that emphasize the role and nature of masculinity in them [13]. Meanwhile, girls are more directed to choose and carry out feminine activities.…”

“…The results of this gender socialization can be seen in the behaviors of children aged one to two years, when they begin to show a clear preference for toys that seem to match the gender markers they show. Based on research conducted by O'Connor et al [13] that when boys and girls are socialized into gender-specific games, this must be addressed by society and more specifically, by educators. Why?…”

This paper discusses the construction of gender in early childhood education. Many studies that discuss this topic have been conducted both nationally and internationally. Internationally, research on gender in early childhood adopts critical theories that masculinity and femininity as something fluid and negotiated. The perception of men as the centre of the society's structure has been in equality a strong patriarchal culture in Indonesia. In the field of early childhood education, research that adopts critical theories on gender are still very scarce. This paper aims to expand previous studies by adopting Bourdieu's lens to analyse the extent to which social structure and class are intersected with gender construction. Using a literature study, finding of this paper is hoped to contribute to the debate and theories on gender in the early years.
