The article aims to contribute to the discussion on gender stereotypes in stories for children by mapping gender stereotypes in traditional fairy tales. The article presents fairy tales' value in children’s education and indicates potential dangers in traditional cultural transmissions, paying special attention to gender stereotypes. A selection of texts was analyzed in terms of their stereotypical gender portrayals. The methodological framework represents an interpretative paradigm in social sciences, using a qualitative method of analysis. The texts were purposely selected, and the most popular fairy tales were chosen: Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, which despite the passing of time, are still popular, widely read and also used in film adaptations. It was shown that in all analyzed fairy tales, there was a stereotypical division of roles according to gender. The article also presents possible ways to counteract gender stereotypes. A limitation of the article is that the analysis is limited to three fairy tales only, but the overarching value raises awareness of gender stereotypes in fairy tales for children.

It seems that there are very few research themes in sociolinguistics that have been as thoroughly explored as gender representation in educational materials (notably in E FL textbooks). However, relatively little attention has been paid to how learners themselves perceive the images of men and women in teaching resources. T he present contribution has been written in an attempt to fill this gap. Drawing on the findings of two small-scale survey studies conducted among Polish university students, it addresses two major issues. T he first one concerns the extent to which the choice of male or female-gendered sentence subjects in E FL grammar course books matches the learners’ associations and expectations. The other one, focusing specifically on attitudes to gender representation, seeks to demonstrate how the students view the ways male and female characters are portrayed in constructed examples of usage and practice sentences from English grammar textbooks. Both studies provide some indications of how E FL learners’ needs and expectations can be better addressed in teaching materials

Postrzeganie płci przez dzieci, podobnie jak przez dorosłych, naznaczone jest stereotypami zbudowanymi na społecznych przekazach i konwencjach. Może się to okazać niekorzystne i przyczyniać się do powstawania nierównych szans w funkcjonowaniu społecznym kobiet i mężczyzn. W oparciu o wywiad przeprowadzony ze 158 dzieci sześcioletnich z Opola w artykule skierowano uwagę na dziecięce postrzeganie płci w kontekście ról społecznych pełnionych przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Stało się to przedmiotem podjętych badań, których główny cel dotyczył ustalenia dziecięcego spojrzenia na role pełnione przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Pytania badawcze obejmowały próbę oceny, czy (i w jakiej mierze) trwające od lat zainteresowanie tematem i szeroko wyrażana potrzeba przeciwstawiania się stereotypizacji ról płciowych przyniosły skutki w postaci zmian w świadomości dzieci. Rezultaty przeprowadzonych badań potwierdzają, że spojrzenie dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym na role społeczne – zawodowe i domowe – kobiet i mężczyzn nie jest wolne od stereotypizacji płciowej, ale jej wpływ nie jest tak duży, jak wstępnie założono. Być może uzyskane wyniki są efektem postępującej transformacji świadomości społecznej w postrzeganiu ról pełnionych przez kobiety i mężczyzn oraz uboższych doświadczeń dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym w porównaniu z tymi, którymi dysponują dzieci starsze, u których z wiekiem wzmacnia się stereotypizacja płci.

In the article, based on interviews with 158 six-year-old children from Opole, attention is paid to the children’s perception of gender in the context of social roles played by men and women. The main aim was to establish children’s perception of the roles. The questions covered an attempt at evaluating whether (and to what extent) the interest in the problem area, which has been present for years now, as well as the broadly expressed need for opposing role stereotypes relating to the sexes, have brought about expected effects in the form of changes in children’s awareness. The results of the study confirm the thesis that the ways in which preschool children see social roles performed by women and men in their professional lives, with reference to duties at home, are not free from gender stereotyping. Still such influence is not as strong as initially assumed. Possibly, the obtained results are the effect of progressing transformation of social consciousness in the sphere of roles played by women and men as well as poorer experience of children at preschool age in comparison with experience of older children. With time gender stereotyping becomes stronger.
