Critical Reflection on Diversity and difference in Early Childhood Education
with respect to the anti-racist approaches and challenging gender bias:
According to the authors, in the field of education early childhood education is nothing
stream of teaching children in their early age. In the year 1965 in U.S. early childhood education
was initiated. While analyzing the aspect of early childhood education it has been noticed that
the early childhood education process starts from the time of the birth of the children to the time
of that children enter the school for primary education (Davis & Mac Naughton, 2009). Followed
by this concern it has been identified that in the early childhood education there is a major
significance of anti-racist approach as well as the gender equality as these factors impacts the
quality of the education process.
The authors think that making allowance to this factor I have learned several things
related to these factors. Hence, after completion of the analysis on the anti-Racist pedagogies I
have learned that race is nothing but an imaginary concept which holds major significance on
biological categories. While discussing this concern racism comes to the frame which signifies
that the racism is a social process that in which the group of people gets distinct base on the
aspect of race. While analyzing this aspect it is identified that racism stands for a process in
which a group of people or individual people face discrimination based on their nationality,
ethics, and belief as well as based on their skin color (Robinson & Jones-Diaz, 2016). While
discussing these aspects the several major threats on the early childhood education has been
identified due to the occurrence of the racism. Those threats includes a major influence on the
mind of the child as in case of the occurrence of childhood education the child will surely get
effected by the mentality which will destroy the mind set and the future activities of that
children. Thus, there is a major significance of anti-racist pedagogies has been determined.
