Lalanga ha kaha’u monu’ia – Helping science educators to embed Indigenous knowledge, values and cultures in their courses for Māori and Pacific science student success
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Māori and Pacific students are not achieving in science in comparison with other ethnic groups in Aotearoa New Zealand. At the same time, evidence of engagement with their traditional ways of knowing and being in university science settings is limited. Most formal science curricula globally are founded on Western modern science, and this focus can contribute to the underachievement of Indigenous students in science, particularly if Indigenous knowledge is not included (Howlett et al., 2008).
