Summary: "... explores the masculinities of four case study boys making the transition from early childhood education to school. Complex and shifting gender construcitons [i.e. constructions] in both contexts are discussed, suggesting that active gender work by parents, teachers and children had a significant impact on the ways the four boys experienced their education. The four boys underwent transformations that had implications for their gender positionings as males, as well as their early progress at school. The paper argues that bringing gender issues to the foreground is a strategy likely to assist boys and girls in their transitions to school"--Back cover.
