Description
Summary:The purpose of the present article is to didactically analyze the responses to a questionnaire of 2,124 fifth and sixth-grade students on the subject under study. Students were asked about some gender stereotypes that appear in literary works to determine the perception that they had about them and to be able to make, in addition, a comparison between the answers of boys and girls. We focused on the results showing how the students are, in all the statements made, quite close to the answer related to agreeing with gender stereotypes, highlighting the fact that they prefer that the main characters in the books should be boys, which we could translate into future male power roles.
