Successive reports into teacher education are examined, with special regard to their recommendations about the curriculum, the most appropriate institutional enuironments(s) within which to deliver training programmes, and the matter of which authority-tbe central Department of Education or tbe regional education hoards-was tbought best suited to control the training process. It is argued that complaints were voiced more frequently from the mid 1920s about the low status of the teaching service, the inadequate time assigned to academic and/or professional studies, and the lack of co-operation between teachers' colleges and universities in their educational activities. By the 1960s the minimum period of teacher training had been extended by one year, and educationists began to react more favourably to earlier suggestions that closer relationships ought to be encouraged between universities and colleges. The conclusion is reached that although by the end of the period under review some of the institutional conservatism and isolation surrounding colleges and universities had given way to a willingness to explore new arrangements for teacher education, debates over the nature, scope and site of teacher education continued.

There are three reasons for this. First, Massey shares the values that underpin what it means to be a New Zealander. We have a bold, “can do” attitude that ensures we continue to innovate M and look for new opportunities. Second, we are New Zealand’s only true national university, with major campuses in Albany, Manawatu and Wellington. Our distance education virtual campus currently serves 17,000 students all over the nation and provides for the tertiary education needs of more than 1000 Kiwis around the world. We also have bases in Hawke's Bay and New Plymouth, and have offices in other cities around the country. Massey has formed valuable partnerships with the Eastern Institute of Technology and the Western Institute of Technology. We fly the flag for New Zealand around the world. Third, our teaching and research have underpinned the economic, social, cultural and environmental development of New Zealand. To take one example, as the nation’s leading agri-food university, Massey has provided the talent and groundbreaking research that have ensured the success of our land-based industries for more than 80 years.

  • Massey Commemorative Issue Massey Commemorative
    MASSEY COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE MASSEY COMMEMORATIVE Manawatu Journal Of History, MASSEY COMMEMORATIVE ISSUE, 2014 Cover illustration: The Manawatu Flows On, 1993. John Bevan Ford. Collection of Massey University Library. Reproduced by permission. John Bevan Ford (1930-2005) was born in Christchurch. His mother was of Ngati Raukawa ki Kapiti ancestry and his father of English/German descent. He lived in the Manawatu from 1974, when he came to work at Massey University. John was a full time painter for the last twenty years of his life. This painting has its origins in an invitation to travel to the Netherlands, with a series of works commemorating, and giving a Ma-ori perspective on, the anniversary of Dutch explorer Abel Tasman’s arrival in New Zealand in 1642. The artist has used a pen loaded with liquid acrylics, on watercolour paper. The taniko border of the cloak above the land signifi es mana, and that the land is a land of distinction; the fl oating threads emanating from the sacred upper edges of the cloak symbolise the local people’s whakapapa (genealogy), and show that the space above the land is an active space. Below, the Manawatu River fl ows out of Te Apiti, the Manawatu Gorge, and meanders across the plains. The scroll-like fi gure above the gorge represents the region’s fi rst navigator, the pre-Ma-ori taniwha (spirit) Okatia, who became a totara tree and carved out the path of the river on his way from the Wairarapa, east of the ranges, to the west coast. The canoe of the next navigator, Kupe, can be seen to the left of Okatia.

Not a Fair Go: A History and Analysis of Social Credit’s Struggle for Success in New Zealand’s Electoral System A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Master of Arts in Political Science at University of Waikato by David Calderwood The University of Waikato 2010 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the main issues Social Credit contended with while trying to succeed in New Zealand politics. Its historical and political analysis is in the context of the electoral system. The first section argues for and describes the changing electoral context and outlines how this created difficulties for Social Credit. It concludes that the movement faced very adverse electoral periods for third parties. The second part examines founder Major C.H. Douglas’s Social Credit vision and charts Social Credit’s political adaptations from its New Zealand beginnings to the time Bruce Beetham took over as leader in 1972.
