  • RESEARCH REPORT: Hei Tauira: Teaching and Learning for Success for Māori in Tertiary Settings
    Hei Tauira: Teaching and Learning for Success for Māori in Tertiary Settings Associate Professor Janinka Greenwood & Lynne-Harata Te Aika Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha: The University of Canterbury Final Report 28 July 2008 A Teaching Matters Forum project funded by the Ministry of Education Summary guide and reference card published by Ako Aotearoa and available at: http:/akoaotearoa.ac.nz/heitauira Greenwood & Te Aika: Hei Tauira 2 Hei Tauira literally means ‘for example, by example’. The term hei tauira is also used in weaving to show the continuation of a design or pattern that is relevant to or representative of a particular whānau, hapū or iwi from a tribal region in Aotearoa. The tauira or pattern on the front cover is one of the most recognised in Māori weaving. It is the poutama or stairway to heaven pattern, illustrating growth in knowledge and learning and reaching for the sometimes unobtainable. The word tauira is also a commonly used word for students. This is an apt title for the focus of our project, which is a series of case studies of teaching and learning excellence for Māori in tertiary settings. Greenwood & Te Aika: Hei Tauira 3 MIHI E rere taku manu kura i ngā maunga tapu! Timata i te hiku o te ika, koutou o te Te Taitokerau wānanga ka mihi. Ko ngā mahi hāpai whānau i te oranga hinengaro,i te oranga wairua me te oranga tinana, mai i Kaitaia ki Whangarei tēnā koutou! Piki ake rā ki te Tai Rāwhiti, Te Toihoukura, ngā iwi o Horouta waka, Ngā toi o neherā; ngā toi o te ao hōu; hei tā moko rangatira i uhi mai hei tauira mō ngā iwi o Aotearoa whānui!

  • Māori Pedagogy, Pedagogical Beliefs and Practices in a Māori Tertiary Institution
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Māori Pedagogy, Pedagogical Beliefs and Practices in a Māori Tertiary Institution by Paul Stucki A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Education, Massey University 2010 Abstract This thesis seeks to describe a Māori pedagogy, i.e., Māori preferred ways of teaching and learning. It argues that the pedagogy described in the literature and reflected in the reported practice of the small cohort of research participants teaching at a Māori tertiary institution emerges from a “relational ontology”. This is because it privileges discourses around the primacy of the student and the student-teacher relationship, group work, multisensory approaches and reflection among many others. Theories of student learning, teacher characteristics, learning environments and curriculum content are also described within a model that enables the synthesis of previously disparate elements. The study utilises Kaupapa Māori and Narrative Enquiry methodologies. It hopes to make a contribution to the ongoing transformative praxis of kaupapa Māori institutions such as Kohanga Reo, Kura Kaupapa Māori and Wānanga as well as mainstream institutions involved in remediating historic Māori underachievement in education. i Mihi and Acknowledgements Ehara i te mea nāku anake i oti ai tēnei tuhinga.

    Edited by Nigel Borell CONTENTS 9 Foreword Cliff Whiting 11 Mihimihi Ngataiharuru Taepa 13 Te Ātinga 25 Years of Contemporary Māori Art Nigel Borell 33 Ngā Ngaru e toru, Robert Jahnke The three waves of tertiary intervention in Māori art 47 Ko Te Rā Pūhoro – Te Ātinga Gatherings Chris Bryant-Toi 59 Te Ahi Kaa: Anna-Marie White A Future for Te Ātinga and contemporary Māori art 66 Appendices 69 Acknowledgements 4 5 FOREWORD Te Ātinga is a mainstream Māori arts funding body that focuses on supporting individual Māori artists to explore, experiment, develop and share their creative interests. What makes it different from mainstream New Zealand art is that our Māori art forms can come together to create whānau, hapū, iwi and group events. These rely on individual artists who can help to establish style, identity and standards to give expression to the collective needs. Te Ātinga polices have helped artists to focus on their art forms and their needs. This encourages innovation and initiatives for cultural exploration that can lead into the use of new materials, technologies and inter-cultural exchanges that modernise and challenge the status quo. It also does simple support processes like helping an artist buy materials to do their mahi. That Te Ātinga still works for its clients, after 25 years, is a measure of its achievements. It is a credit to its leaders and committee members who have retained its purpose, credibility and integrity.

  • National Survey of Alternative Assessment Arrangements Policy and Practice in Tertiary Education with Reference to International Policy and Literature
    National Survey of Alternative Assessment Arrangements Policy and Practice in Tertiary Education with Reference to International Policy and Literature A Research Report Martha G. Bell, PhD Media Associates April 2015 © 2015 ACHIEVE, The National Post-Secondary Education Disability Network Incorporated National Survey of Alternative Assessment Arrangements Policy and Practice in Tertiary Education with Reference to International Policy and Literature: A Research Report For further information, please contact: ACHIEVE, c/o University of Otago PO Box 56 Dunedin 9054 New Zealand Email [email protected] Web www.achieve.org.nz ISBN: 978-0-473-31119-3 2 Executive Summary New Zealand’s 29 tertiary education institutions (TEIs) are mandated in the Education Act 1989 to provide access to education guaranteeing equal educational opportunities to students with impairments who enroll for academic study in public providers. In 2013, the number of students with impairments rose to 5% of all students. The proportion of students with impairments in the tertiary population has almost doubled since these statistics were first recorded in 1998. ACHIEVE, the National Post-Secondary Education Disability Network Incorporated (ACHIEVE), is concerned that there be continuity in professional practice across the sector. This study was contracted to survey and compare policy and practice of alternative assessment arrangements to accommodate diverse needs for extra time in examinations and tests for students with impairments in tertiary education institutions in New Zealand. The study findings illustrate how alternative assessment arrangements for accessing, allocating and evaluating extra time supports are provided in the 28 TEIs which set examinations as a mode of assessing student achievement of learning outcomes.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. CONFLICT AND CULTURE A discourse analysis of public texts on an Indigenous New Zealand tertiary institution A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy In Psychology Massey University, Palmerston North New Zealand Guenevere E. W. Weatherley 2009 ABSTRACT This current project begins with a brief history of Māori education since colonisation, and creates a picture of TWOA and its students and the struggle they undertook to develop into a first class education institution. Then, using Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, I offer some deconstructive possibilities which provide alternative interpretations of the media discourse that ignited the public’s vilification of the institute. I describe what transpired over the time of 2005-2006 and critically examine and analyse the language used to express the two-party attack on TWOA and its Tūmuaki, Rongo Wetere. I find that the language used by politicians and media commentators positioned TWOA as an inefficient and corrupt Māori institution in need of Pākeha (NZ European) governance and management. Through an investigation of the selection and promulgation of particular tropes, the interests of the political elite are shown as serving to marginalise the institution, limit its growth and channel its students into Pākeha educational institutions. The Wānanga brought tertiary education to those New Zealanders who had hitherto been excluded or who had failed in mainstream education.
