MAHI HAUHAKE REVIEW of RE L EVANT LITERATURE by Colin Reeder for Kingston Strategic (NZ) Ltd Draft As at April 2005 MAHI HAUHAKE REVIEW OF RE L EVANT LITERATURE by Colin Reeder for Kingston Strategic (NZ) Ltd Draft as at April 2005 INTRODUCTION The following selection of readings help set some parameters aimed at shaping the development of the Mataariki curriculum. These readings are authored by contemporary educational theorists, philosophers, researchers and commentators and cover a broad range of education issues including; curricular, education reform, teacher professional development, learning to learn, Matauranga Maori and future schooling models. The common theme which emerges from these readings is that the underlying rationales of the Western education are no longer appropriate for a world which embraces democracy, pluralism, biculturalism and multiculturalism, creativity, technology, the rapid and enormous growth of new knowledge and the Learner as the centre of learning. Moreover, any change requires a new paradigm and a degree of risk taking on part of reformers, educationalists, administrators, communities and care-givers, to better respond to the immense social changes which have taken place leading into the 21st Century. While there has been a steady rise in Maori educational research over recent years, it has been accompanied by strong debate as to what constitues Maori research and how and who should conduct Maori research. Some of the keys issues and themes in respect to Maori education and research are covered below and are generally consistent with current international indigenous educational scholarship and research. Finally, this document remains a draft and is subject to change. The document is continually being added to as relevant material is sourced and the whole document is regularly edited. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT Erickson, H. Lynn. ‘Concept based Curriculum and Instruction’ Published by Corwin Press (2002). The author is an independent education consultant and was formerly Director of Curriculum for the U.S. Federal Way Public Schools (1987-1994). She claims the goal of this book is ‘to raise awareness of the differences between topical and concept models of curriculum and instruction, and to provide concept based examples from different school districts around the country’. It highlights the importance of curriculum design aimed at ‘facilitating complex thinking and deeper levels of understanding as an unfolding process’ and ‘using critical content as a tool to understanding key concepts and principles of a discipline, and applying understanding in the context of a complex performance’. Impetus for the interest in ‘standards’ has its origins in the America 2000 Act passed in 1991, itself a response to growing concerns over falling educational standards, and globalization. This has led to the establishment of a number of broad based committees comprising of experts and professionals from across a range of fields tasked with developing standards, which proved invaluable to state and local districts involved in designing their own curricular frameworks. Key to this is the notion that children learn best through ‘performance’, and the author points out higher scoring nations such as Japan and Singapore, which emphasize a curriculum and instruction around the understanding of discipline based concepts and principles. Here, facts and concepts are used as tools to help students develop a deeper understanding enabling them to reduce the number of topics covered; as many topics share the same concepts and conceptual understandings. In the US situation, a greater number of topics are covered, but in less depth. The affect is that time allocated to cover such a wide range of topics inhibits learning in depth, and on puts greater pressure on teachers to cover numerous topics who are already constrained by time. This raises the issue of the packaging of information, which affects student retention and transfer. Research shows that information provided in a problem solving context made ‘rich and extensive use’ of the information. A second affect according to the author is that learners adopted a ‘conceptual lens’. Their thinking was forced ‘meeting challenges’ that required learners to use higher level integrative thought processes. For her, there needs to be a focus on focusing on topics ‘to teach, assess and deeper, conceptual understanding’. Deep knowledge transfers across time and cultures and provides a conceptual structure for thinking about related and new ideas’. Taking thinking beyond the facts to facilitate deep understanding and the transfer of knowledge; Systematically developing a conceptual schema in the brain to handle new information; Meeting higher academic standards related to content knowledge, process abilities and quality performance. Conceptual development is a lifelong development process. It requires understanding a higher level, integrative thinking ability that needs to be taught systematically through all levels of schooling. Integrated thinking is the ability to insightfully draw patterns and connections between related facts, ideas, and examples and to synthesize information at a conceptual level. She argues that well designed curriculum documents can facilitate this teaching / learning process. Erickson attempts to measure this research against national standards. A coherent curriculum holds everything together. It fosters the increasing sophistication in critical content knowledge, conceptual inter relating and complex performance abilities. Thoughtful design is needed to ensure the time of student is maximized. It also means desired outcomes are achieved based on realities of living, learning in the 21st century. The author concludes that schooling is predicated on the interaction of children with curriculum and instruction. Educational change he maintains is based on educators, who themselves are also learners and on the understanding that learning and teaching must change with time. A learner according to Erickson requires sophisticated abilities for the ‘accessing, using, and sharing a growing body of knowledge’. He argues that concept process curricular models are needed for student centered teaching strategies and that research based instructional strategies framed by a concept process structure for 2 curriculum is needed for teachers of the future. Wiles, Jon & Bondi, Joseph. ‘Curriculum Development–A Guide to Practice’ (1998) Prentice Hall. The authors describe curriculum as a plan for learning predicated on a vision of what should be; as well as a structure that translates a vision into experiences for learning. It is a process that necessarily reflects values preferences. Curriculum development is a highly defined and deductive process involving analysis, design implementation and evaluation. The process involves the collation and ordering of information including: social forces, treatment of knowledge, human growth and development, as well learning processes. Critical is the need to match educational experience with the intentions of educational planners providing a clear purpose, as well as goal setting and formulation of objectives aligned to the curriculum content, which in turn focuses on the critical needs of learners and delivers the programme. The authors assert that in the 21st Century new roles of curriculum leadership are required accompanied by a restructuring of schools and new demands of the workplace driven by globalisation and technology. As well, tougher standards and tests will force schools to improve both the curriculum and its delivery. This means new challenges for traditional school leadership, already unable to cope in a climate of increased competition and public scrutiny. The overall affect will be greater responsibility on part of curriculum leaders for dynamic leadership. The authors believe the first decade of the 21st century will present the primary school as we know it with its greatest challenge. Social conditions and new understandings of human growth and development will deamnd changes to programmes and the means of delivery. Such a curriculum must include a variety of learning experiences for an increasingly diverse population of learners. This will provide major challenges for primary educators already affected by changing conditions which influence the ability of pupils to succeed in school. As well, the secondary school of the future will increasingly become a transition school orientated to higher education and the IT industry within a school environment which fosters greater democacy than at present. Zais, Robert S. ‘Curriculum : Principles and Foundations’ Harper Row (1976). Zais examines curriculum development in the US from a historical, social and philosophical perspective, to conclude that curriculum construction has been piecemeal and superficial. The overall affect for schools has been one of fragmentation, imbalance and incoherence. He attributes this phenomenon to: a.) the relative infancy of curriculum development; b.) its complexity involving countless interdependent variables which influence curriculum and; c.) the American temperament to ‘get the job done’. It is the last he claims ignores the need to understand the ‘basis and nature of curricular phenomena’ and ‘the effects of their actions on the total curriculum’. For Zais, the most significant influences on curriculum are external to both the community and education profession such as: Bodies that establish (and or enforce) minimum curriculum standards and compliance; ‘Alternative generators’ – e.g. pool of trained teachers, curriculum materials (cash resources),

King wrote, ‘Nobody in New Zealand – and few elsewhere in the world- has been subjected to group slander as intense and as damaging as that heaped upon the Moriori.’ Since its publication, historians have denigrated earlier works dealing with the Moriori, arguing that the way in which they portrayed Moriori was almost entirely unfavourable. This thesis tests this conclusion. It explores the perspectives of European visitors to the Chatham Islands from 1791 to 1989, when King published Moriori. It does this through an examination of newspapers, Native Land Court minutes, and the writings of missionaries, settlers, and ethnographers. The thesis asks whether or not historians have been selective in their approach to the sources, or if, perhaps, they have ignored the intricacies that may have informed the views of early observers. The thesis argues that during the nineteenth century both Maori and European perspectives influenced the way in which Moriori were portrayed in European narrative.

Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

  • Relating Maori and Pakeha : the Politics of Indigenous and Settler

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Relating Maori and Pakeha: the politics of indigenous and settler identities A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology at Massey University Palmerston North New Zealand Avril Bell 2004 Abstract Settler colonisation produced particular colonial subjects: indigene and settler. The specificity of the relationship between these subjects lies in the act of settlement; an act of colonial violence by which the settler physically and symbolically displaces the indigene, but never totally. While indigenes may be physically displaced from their territories, they continue to occupy a marginal location within the settler nation-state. Symbolically, as settlers set out to distinguish themselves from the metropolitan ‘motherlands’, indigenous cultures become a rich, ‘native’ source of cultural authenticity to ground settler nationalisms. The result is a complex of conflictual and ambivalent relations between settler and indigene. This thesis investigates the ongoing impact of this colonial relation on the contemporary identities and relations of Maori (indigene) and Pakeha (settlers) in Aotearoa New Zealand. It centres on the operation of discursive strategies used by both Maori and Pakeha in constructing their identities and the relationship between them. I analyse ‘found’ texts - non-fiction books, media and academic texts - to identify discourse ‘at work’, as New Zealanders make and reflect on their identity claims.

  • A Study of the Crania of the Moriori, Or Aborigines Of
    A STUDY OF THE CRANIA OF THE MORIORI, OR Downloaded from ABORIGINES OF THE CHATHAM ISLANDS, NOW IN THE MUSEUM OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. BY EVELINE Y. THOMSON, Cxewdson-Benington Student in Craniometry, http://biomet.oxfordjournals.org/ Biometric Laboratory, University CoUege, London. 1. Introductory. The fact that pure bred Morioris are now very rare if not extinct renders of special value any study of such crania of them as still exist. In papers referred to below Dr Scott* deals with 50 and Dr Duckworthf with 10 Morion crania. Professor Thane possesses two specimens and there are a few scattered through various British and Continental museums. Hence the 63 crania in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons almost double the available number. Yet if we pool the present measurements with such of Dr Scott's series as are homo- at University of Michigan on September 1, 2015 geneous, our results are still too slender to warrant the publication of more than the measurements themselves and their mean values. As one of the best uses of methods of treatment which do not extend beyond the mean the type sections of the Morion crania have been reconstructed. By most kind permission of Professor Arthur Keith I have been able to study the collection of Morion skulls in his charge, and he most readily provided faculties for the photographing of a considerable number of the crania. Although the collection has been for a considerable time in the Royal College of Surgeons no complete set of measurements appears to have been published J.

  • Making a Case for Tongan As an Endangered Language
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Making a Case for Tongan as an provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Endangered Language Yuko Otsuka At fi rst glance, Tongan appears far from being endangered. It has nearly 100,000 speakers—remarkably sizable compared to other languages of Oceania—and is spoken in a predominantly monolingual and monocul- tural society.1 Furthermore, Tonga is an independent nation-state, in fact, the last kingdom in Polynesia. Why should one be talking at all about Tongan being endangered? This paper examines the linguistic situation in Tonga and argues that there are reasons to be concerned about the future of the Tongan language in the long run. The position put forward in this paper is as follows: In the postcolonial context, many instances of language endangerment should be defi ned in terms of a unit larger than a nation-state. Globalization has put small island nations like Tonga in a position such that, in order to survive, they are compelled to conform to the Western development model that is asso- ciated with English as a socioeconomically privileged language. Here, the term “globalization” refers to a particular aspect of the phenomenon, that is, interconnectedness facilitated by the expansion of Euro-American values. Interconnectedness certainly has benefi cial consequences, such as bringing new opportunities. Epeli Hau‘ofa, for example, has argued that it has empowered the peoples of Oceania, liberating them from the artifi cial boundaries imposed by nineteenth-century imperialism (1993, 10). The following discussion, however, focuses on the adverse effects of intercon- nectedness, especially as it affects language maintenance.

  • Moriori: a People Rediscovered, by Michael King
    Moriori: A People Rediscovered, by Michael King Were Moriori ever on the mainland of New Zealand? This extract from a New Zealand Geographic article by Michael King seems to state unequivocally that there were (highlighted in red). The full article can be read at… https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/moriori-a-pride-reborn/ Governor General Sir Paul Reeves formally launched Michael’s book whilst on a visit to the Chathams. His speech (copyright free) is appended after Michael’s extract. Michael King New Zealand Geographic December 1993 … Bill Davis had died at Laingholm in Auckland in 1962, and his son Wilf had found a box of fragile documents written in pencil and ink. He had looked at them, seen that they appeared to be in Maori, and stored them away. Early in 1990, as a consequence of reading Moriori, A People Rediscovered, he got them out again, and contacted me. It was a moving experience for both of us to sort through the papers. Here were whakapapa, waiata, stories, information on Moriori tribal boundaries, navigation instructions, letters to people in government, and much more. All had been painstakingly written by elderly men in smoky ponga huts in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Some pages still smelt of peat smoke and tobacco. Miraculously, they had survived. Collectively, they amounted to a treasure trove of cultural and historical information, significant and enduring messages that Moriori ancestors had sent to their descendants. I would, of course, have been grateful for knowledge of the Davis papers before the book was written. But, as it turned out, there was nothing in them that contradicted the evidence of other sources.

  • 1862 Moriori Petition to the Crown for Recognition of Land Rights and Emancipation from Slavery
    1862 Moriori Petition To the crown For recognition of land rights And emancipation from slavery A Prologue Moriori petitioned Governor Grey in a series of documents and letters from the late 1850s onwards1. The 1859 Manuscript The first document sent to Grey, who was at that time the former Governor, is dated 22 April 1859 and is signed by six elders from Otonga (on the SW coast): 1. Rangi Mariu Rangipa 2. Pahuta Tamaroro Tamako Mahuta 3. Te Awa Ahau Te Ika Rongo Mai Pango 4. Moke Tatahi Tarehu 5. Kokiri Matawhatu Kahuwai 6. Punga Ngamune Kahukura The document sets out historical and geneaological information about Moriori, and its purpose appears to be to distinguish Moriori from the Māori occupants of the island. It is a Moriori statement of self-determination. Descendants of the authors believe it was sent to Grey to convince him that Moriori were the rightful owners of Rēkohu. Even though Grey was not the Governor at this time, it is likely that they saw in him someone who would listen to their claims, as opposed to Governor Gore Brown. The genealogies set out in the document are complex and show the interrelatedness of Moriori and their links to settlement on the islands. A major part of the narrative is the story told by Rakei e Ora Tawiro to his children Pahitoa Tamako Mahuta and Mariu Rangipa (2 of the signatories) about the “epic adventures” of their ancestor Rakei son of Tamatehokopa. 1862 Manuscript and Letters When Grey returned to NZ in 1861 it may have prompted Moriori to again write to him setting out their claims.
