Hi,
There are lots of books on gender and learning - look at Amazon.
These books may help with you with your assignment:

The following 2 books deal with young children and may be more suitable for your assignment:

Boys & Girls (Superheroes in the Doll Corner) Vivian Gussin Paley

We Don't Play with Guns here: War, Weapon and Superhero Play in the Early Years Penny Holland

..but others to look at are:

The following book looks at differences from birth to adulthood including female & male brains, risk, aggression, discipline etc


Why Gender matters (What parents and teachers need to know about the emerging science of *** differences) Leonard Sax


The following book although looking at why brains are different and how brain-based differences affect boys and girls, I feel it is more for school rather than early years.- but interesting never the less.

Boys and Girls Learn Differently! Michael Gurian
