The aim in this study is to examine gender use of stereotypical vocabulary and toy choices within early years settings. Bandura (1925) emphasised the impact of role models on children’s development and behaviour within positive or negative impacts. Children are seen as imitating their role models play, communication and doing so within their socialising and play themselves (Bates, 2019, p.52). Early educational environments where children create everlasting foundations for growth, they are primarily at focus in creating neutral and accepting environments of equality. To enrich their teaching and environments as a haven of opportunity to freely choose play and learning styles, scaffolded through individual thoughts and interests, not influenced by others beliefs or stereotypes (Price, 2018, p.13).
Within collection of research proposed is twenty questionnaires, contents to contain relevant questions diverse to job roles, without any leading questions. To diminish any researcher bias, these will remain open and consistent throughout (Davis and Hughes, 2014, p.94). A Secondary approach to research gathered will be within the form of a focus group amongst early years teachers. This enables opportunity for the researcher to discover deep thought and opinion from the group distinguishing and emphasising reliability within research (Carter, 2021, p.146).
