Abstract

This study explores how a purposively selected sample of mainstream primary schools in regional New Zealand incorporate mātauranga Māori (traditional Māori (Indigenous people of New Zealand) knowledge) into school life to support successful learning. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with five principals of low advantage schools with high Māori student populations identified six themes focused on creating a curriculum built around Te Ao Māori (Māori worldview). They were mainstream curriculum not fit for purpose for Māori learners, blending of mātauranga Māori and western knowledge, mātauranga Māori as learning and educational experiences, mātauranga ā-iwi (local Māori knowledge) and achievement fit for tamariki (children). Mātauranga Māori is incorporated into these schools’ environment to support learning, but the mainstream curriculum can be a challenge for schools wishing to promote Māori ways of being. Some schools, however, supported a He Awa Whiria (braided rivers) approach to education, the interweaving of both western practices and mātauranga Māori.
“whriwhria, kia ora ai te tamaiti”:探索mātauranga Māori以支持新西兰地区五所小学的日常学习
本研究探讨了新西兰地区有目的地选择的主流小学样本如何将mātauranga Māori(传统的Māori(新西兰土著人)知识)纳入学校生活,以支持成功的学习。与五位低优势学校的校长进行定性半结构化访谈,这些学校拥有大量的Māori学生,确定了六个主题,重点是围绕Te Ao Māori (Māori世界观)创建课程。它们是不适合Māori学习者的主流课程,是mātauranga Māori和西方知识的混合,mātauranga Māori是学习和教育经验,mātauranga ā-iwi(当地Māori知识)和成就适合tamariki(儿童)。Mātauranga Māori被纳入这些学校的环境,以支持学习,但主流课程可能是一个挑战,学校希望促进Māori的存在方式。然而,一些学校支持He Awa whria(辫状河流)的教育方法,将西方实践与mātauranga Māori相结合。
