 Yapılan çalışma Türkiyede orta ve alt sosyoekonomik düzeydeki ailelerin okul öncesindeki çocukların ebeveynlerine yönelik toplumsal cinsiyet algılarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma grubu İstanbul ili, Bağcılar ilçesinde okul öncesi eğitim kurumuna devam eden 5 yaşındaki 50 çocuk ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bağcılar ilçesi, İstanbulun diğer ilçelerine göre sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi düşük ilçedir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenoloji yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler, çocukların ifadelerine göre kategorilendirilmiş olup içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak resim çizdirme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Demografik bilgiler olarak; çocuğun yaşı, çocuğun cinsiyeti, ebeveynin eğitim durumu, ebeveynin herhangi bir meslekte çalışma durumu ve ailenin sosyo-ekonomik düzey bilgileri yer almaktadır. Çizim öncesinde çocuklara A4 kağıt ve kuru boyalar sunulmuştur. Çocuklara Annen genellikle ne yapar? ve Baban genellikle ne yapar? sorusu yöneltilmiştir. Sorulara verilen cevaplar not edildikten sonra çocuklardan verdikleri cevaplar doğrultusunda resim çizmeleri istenilmiştir. Bulgulara göre çocuklar, annelerini temizlik yaptığına dair ifadelerde bulunmuşlardır. Temizlik olarak; bulaşık yıkamak, evi temizlemek, çamaşır yıkamak yanıtları olmaktadır. Çocuklara, babalarıyla ilgili sorulan soruya verdikleri cevaplar ve çizdikleri resimlere göre babalarının işe gittiğini ifade etmişlerdir. Çocuklar babalarının işe giderken araba ile işe gittiklerini söylemişlerdir; resimlerinde de araba figürüne yer vermişlerdir. Genel olarak çocuklar tarafından kadın figürünü temizlik yapan kişi; erkek figürünü ise işe giden kişi olarak tanımlamışlardır. Bu çalışmanın sonucu ve önceki yıllarda ilgili konu hakkında farklı bağlamlarda yapılan çalışmaların sonuçları incelendiğinde, 21. yy. toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğine dair yapılan projelerin, eğitim ve ekonomi politikalarının üzerine daha fazla ilgili konu hakkında çalışmalar yapılması gerektirdiği ifade edilebilir.
