PACIFIC ISLANDS PROGRAM University of Hawaii PACIFIC ISLANDS PROGRAM University of Hawaii Miscellaneous Work Papers A WORLD CATALOGUE OF THESES AND DISSERTATIONS CONCERNING THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLES OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS (INCLUDING THE NEW ZEALAND MAORI) , William G. Coppell (1977:1) . FOREWORD The publication by the Pacific Islands Studies Program of Dr. William Coppell's World Catalogue of Theses and Dissertations is a happy occasion as it marks the second first for both. Two years ago this program published his Bibliographies of the Kermadec Islands, Niue, Swains Island and the Tokelau -Islands; in that his section on the ~Kermadec Islands was the first of its kind, and he commendably brought the other area entries of Niue, Swains and the Tokelau Island.s up to date with numerous new entries. The present bibliography should prove very useful to Pacific Islands­ oriented schola.rs and academicians as well as to students in the field of education who are working towards their degrees, particularly in Pacific higher education institutions. It is tne first worldwide catalog of the Pacific, one whose entries come from North'American, European, Asian, Pad.fic Islands and Commonwealth institutions of higher learning. It includes data on the date, degree conferred and. pagination of each work. The author has attempted to verify the availability to scholars of each work cited. A grant from the U.S. Office of EducatiOn ,t.o the Pacific Islands Studies Center has helped to make this publication possible. To both Dr. Coppell and the Center,mahal0. C.J .D •.'

PACIFIC ISLANDS STUDIES PROGRAM UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII (1977: 1) ACKNCMLEDGMENTS It is necessary to express the author's sincere appreciation of the encouragement he received from the Director, Dr. Carl J. Daeufer, and staff of the Pacific Studies Program, University of Hawaii, which resulted in the publication of this Catalogue. Generous credit must also be given to Phyllis Turnbull for her editor:i..a1 work in bringing the manuscript to a publishable form. Finally, the author must express his appreciation to the Librarian and staff of Macquarie University who gave invaluable assistance in tracing and verifying the entries in the Catalogue. W.G.C. IN T ROD UC T I ON PURPOSE OF CATALOGUE: This catalogue of theses and dissertations concerning the education of the peoples of the Pacific Islands is designed to provide a systematic listing of theses and dissertations. The purpose is to indicate the scope of the research undertaken and to allow research students the opportunity to became aware of prior work in their fields of interest. AREAS OF REFERENCE OF CATALOGUE: In general the catalogue is confined to work at the master's and doctoral levels, although some bachelor's theses have been included where it is considered that the particular subject has special significance. Diploma theses presented at New Zealand universities are included as the studies are carried out as postgraduate work. A number of catalogues of theses were consulted as reference sources, but details of many of the entries were obtained by correspondence with the Deans and Heads of Schools of the many university departments, Schools and Faculties of Education which have been concerned with research in the educa­ tional situation of the peoples of the Pacific Islands. Theses and dissertations which deal with the New Zealand Maori have been iii included as it is considered that it would be illogical to divorce the New Zealand Polynesian from other Pacific groups. Items dealing with the various ethnic groups which comprise the population of Hawaii have also been included as they reflect the various relationships between the various groups. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: An effort has been made to ascertain as completely as possible full bibliographical details of each entry, but unfortunately some deficiencies exist. The compiler would be grateful to receive any information which will either add additional entries or amend the entries in the catalogue. CUT-OFF POINT: The end of 1976 is taken as the cut-off point for the catalogue. (Excep tions: Hindson, p. 16; Palmer, ADDENDA). SUBJECT INDEX: The entries in the catalogue have been cross-referenced in the subject index by countries and regions. In several instances references to individual theses or dissertations may appear under several country or regional headings. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS • • • . • . • • • • • • • • • • . • • • •• ii INTRODUCTION . • • • • • . • • • • . • . • • • • .• iii ADDENDA ••. vi THE CATALOGUE • 1 AUTHOR - SUBJECT INDEXES BY COUNTRIES AMERICAN SAMOA • 46 COOK ISLANDS • 46 FIJI • • • • 46 GILBERT ISLANDS • • . • • • . • . • . • • • • •• 47 GUAM • • 48 HAWAII 48 MARIANA ISLANDS 52 MICRONESIA •. 52 NAURU 52 NEW CALEDONIA 52 NEW HEBRIDES • 52 NEW ZEALAND (including New Zealand Maoris and Pacific Islanders in New Zealand) 53 NIUE • . • • • • • • • . 54 PACIFIC REGION, GENERAL 55 PALAU . • . • • . 55 PAPUA NEW GUINEA . 55 PONAPE 56 ROTUMA 57 SOLOMON ISLANDS 57 TOKELAU 57 TONGA 57 TRUST TERRITORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS . 58 TUVALU . 58 WESTERN SAMOA 58 GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES CITED IN THIS CATALOGUE . • . • . • • . • • • . • • 60 v ADDENDA (TI1ese entries were received too late to be incorporated into either the body of the catalogue or the index.

This is an NZAid funded study and it was conducted in partnership with the Tonga Ministry of Education. The Kakala Research Framework, Tongan research ethics and Tongan research tools of Talanoa and Nofo guided the study. The researchers for this project were all Tongans. This was an opportunity to pilot a new way of understanding hardship in Tonga and how education can alleviate this. Findings from the study show that Tongan conceptualisation of education and sustainable livelihoods are broader, fluid and less structured than traditional understanding.

  • Cognitive Acceleration in Mathematics Education in Tonga: Effects on Students’ Mathematics Achievement, Motivation, and Self- Regulation
    Science and Mathematics Education Centre Cognitive Acceleration in Mathematics Education in Tonga: Effects on students’ mathematics achievement, motivation, and self- regulation Teukava Finau This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University May 2017 i Abstract There are three major issues experienced by many secondary schools in Tonga, namely, the increasingly poor performance of students in mathematics, the low level of students’ engagement in mathematics, and the increasing number of students who enter high schools with insufficient skills in mathematics. The current mathematics curriculum and teachers’ teaching skills do not have the capacity to provide an effective learning environment so that students could improve their reasoning skills and mathematical understanding. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative teaching and learning approaches that have the potential to contribute to solving these issues in secondary schools in Tonga. The Cognitive Acceleration in Mathematics Education (CAME) program is an innovative teaching approach based largely on Piaget’s cognitive development theory and the socio-cultural psychology of Vygotsky. The CAME program involves the application of some special learning and teaching procedures in mathematics classes which results in students attaining higher levels of cognitive development more quickly than if they had not been presented with these procedures. The materials for the CAME program were adapted and implemented in Tonga over the course of one school year (March – November) with the main purpose of the research to investigate the effects of the CAME program on Tongan Form 2 (Year 8) mathematics students’ achievement, learning motivation and self-regulation, and the teachers’ teaching practices.
