The purpose of this study was to analyze children's perspectives on the role of male childcare
teachers and children' s gender role concepts. According to the results, when it comes to how the
children perceive the roles of the male childcare teacher, the children mostly saw the male childcare
teacher as a person who teaches and in another case, they regarded him as someone who takes care
of their daily life and who is willing to play games with them. On the other hand, the male childcare
teacher’s organizing of an environment, supporting tasks and working on a computer were perceived
less by the children. In terms of the gender role concepts, the study confirmed that depending on the
role performance of the male childcare teacher, the children in the male childcare teacher’s class had
better understanding than those children in the female childcare teacher’s class. In order to secure
the children’s right to participate specified in the convention of the rights of the child, the study
applied not only the interviews with the children but also their drawings to the analysis, and that
was what led the study to an in-depth discussion on the perception of the children.
