description Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaisia rasismin ja antirasismin visuaalisia ilmentymiä varhaiskasvatuksen oppimisympäristöissä sekä pedagogisissa materiaaleissa esiintyi. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli rakentaa ymmärrystä siitä, millaisia etnisyyteen, rodullistamiseen ja kulttuureihin liittyviä representaatioita sekä antirasistisia pyrkimyksiä varhaiskasvatuksessa käytettävät materiaalit ilmensivät. Tutkimusta ohjasi kysymys ” Kuinka rasismi ja antirasismi ilmenevät suomalaisen varhaiskasvatuksen visuaalisissa oppimisympäristöissä?”. Tutkimus toteutettiin visuaalisia tutkimusmenetelmiä käyttäen. Aineistonkeruumenetelmänä käytettiin valokuvausmenetelmää, joka toteutettiin viidessä eri jyväskyläläisessä päiväkodissa. Kuva-aineisto analysoitiin teorialähtöisen visuaalisen temaattisen analyysin avulla, jossa hyödynnettiin rasismin ja antirasismin teorioita. Tuloksista selvisi, että varhaiskasvatuksen oppimisympäristöistä löytyi hienovaraisia rasismin ilmentymiä valkonormatiivisuuden ja rasististen representaatioiden muodossa. Tutkimukseen osallistuneiden päiväkotien oppimisympäristöistä ei löytynyt visuaalisia ilmentymiä varsinaisen antirasistisen työotteen toteutumisesta, mutta pyrkimyksiä yhdenvertaisuuden ja moninaisuuden tukemiseen löytyi. Kuitenkin osa näistä hyvää tarkoittavista pyrkimyksistä sisälsi myös rasistisia piirteitä, mikä korostaa kriittisen reflektoinnin tärkeyttä varhaiskasvatuksen ympäristön rakentamisessa ja pedagogisten materiaalien valinnassa. This research explored visual manifestations of racism and antiracism in Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) learning environments and in their pedagogical materials in order to develop understanding of issues related to power hierarchies between, and representations of, different cultures and “races”, and to reveal ways in which these everyday surroundings indicate contributions to the antiracist agenda. This study was guided by a question “How are racism and antiracism manifested in visual learning environments of Finnish early childhood education and care?” This critically oriented, qualitative research utilised visual methodology when aiming to answer the research question. Photo-documentation was used as a data collection method. Data collection took place in five ECEC centres in the city of Jyväskylä. The learning environments were systematically observed and photographed in order to understand the type of antiracist and racist representations in the learning materials and objects on the walls. The visual data was examined by applying theoretically approached visual thematic analysis, in which theories on racism and antiracism were used as analytical lenses. Results of this study showed that subtle emergences of prejudice and exclusion in objects and pedagogical materials can be found from ECEC learning environments. Results also indicated the lack of overt antiracist commitments expressed in the ECEC settings, but addressed endeavours to promote equity, equality, and diversity. However, the data set demonstrated that despite good intentions, those efforts can also unintentionally reinforce discriminative ideas.
