The purpose of the present study was to investigate early childhood teachers’ views on stereotypical gender role messages in children’s cartoons and their effects on children’s gender role perceptions. Another purpose of the study was to investigate the way early childhood teachers address the effects of children’s cartoons on children’s gender role perceptions in their classrooms. The participants of the study were 25 early childhood teachers who serve in public preschools in Niğde, Türkiye. The study was conducted in phenomenological design from qualitative research strategies. The study data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Findings of the present study indicated that according to most of the early childhood teachers, children's cartoons include stereotypical gender role messages such as association of female cartoon characters with domestic roles and attribution of prominent roles to the male cartoon characters. Also, the teachers observe the effects of the stereotypical gender roles in children’s cartoons on children’s behaviors in free time, consumption behaviors, beliefs about gender and peer relationships. In spite of teachers observing the impact of children’s cartoons on children’s gender perceptions, most teachers do not address the impact of children’s cartoons on children’s gender perceptions in the classroom.
