Indigenization Strategy Literature Review:

The purpose of this „Indigenization Strategy Literature Review‟ was to research and review

existing programs and curriculum in Aboriginal Family literacy, Aboriginal workplace/ essential

skills, and general Aboriginal adult literacy.

The desired outcomes were:

to create a document that reviews existing programs and curriculum in each of the three

areas. A review of gaps in programs and curriculum. This information is part of the

„Primary Research Document‟.

to put on a one-day forum to discuss existing programs, curriculum, and strategies

involving Provincial articulation committees, Aboriginal educators and organizations,

content-specific experts including ESL instructors. There were two committee meetings

held over the past year and a half, and the contact list is included in the Appendices of the

„Primary Research Report‟.

These resources were collected over a 18 month period from January 2008 – June 2009.

Outcomes Working Group

Abstract: In this report they state that many of the questions in the CISO

survey did not apply to the students, and in 2001, a decision was

made to exclude these students from the survey. Since that time,

there has been a lack of system-wide information on these

students: their educational experiences, their activities after

completing their courses (further education and employment), and

the relevance of ABE studies to their subsequent activities.

Short Title: Assembly of First Nations: First Nations Education Action Plan


Keywords: Aboriginal; Education; Action Plan; AFN; First Nation;

Indigenous; Native

Abstract: The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) has long advocated for First

Nations control over First Nations education. In 1972, the AFN

released its first comprehensive policy statement on education with

the publication of Indian Control of Indian Education. The themes

that this document embodied remain relevant today, having been

further developed and refined over more than three decades,

culminating in the themes advocated by First Nation leaders at the

Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable sessions in 2004. The

central thrust of these initiates has consistently called for the

recognition of First Nations jurisdiction over education.

Abstract: Using an on-line learning environment, students from four

European countries collaborated and communicated to carry out

problem based learning in occupational therapy. Synchronous

communication is little used in on-line courses at present, because

real-time communications are not sufficiently reliable and there is

a requirement for greater bandwidth compared with email-based

courses such as those using First Class or Blackboard.com. Often,

when Internet Chat facilities are available, they are simple add-ons

and are not integrated into the course.

Short Title: Australian Flexible Learning Framework Strategy


Keywords: Australian; Flexible Learning; Framework & Strategy; e-learning

Abstract: The 2008 - 2011 Framework Strategy is focused on making e-

learning an integral part of the national training system by

increasing demand for e-learning from individual learners and

increasing demand from business by investing in partnerships

between businesses and registered training organizations (RTOs)

that demonstrate how e-learning can help meet business

challenges. At the same time, the Framework will maximize and

build on the national investment to date in essential e-learning

infrastructure.

In summary, this Strategy is about: building on the national

investment in resources, standards and repositories; investing

strategically in partnerships between businesses and training

providers; and empowering learners to take control of their own

http://www.mceetya.edu.au/mceetya/

learning. This represents a shift in focus from previous

Frameworks.

Author: David A. Gruenewald

Year: 2003

Journal: Educational Researcher

Volume: Vol. 32, No. 4.

Pages: 9

Start Page: 3

Date: May 2003

Short Title: Best of Both Worlds: A Critical Pedagogy of Place


Keywords: Critical Pedagogy; Place-based Education; Decolonization;

Reinhabitation;

Abstract: Taking the position that "critical pedagogy" and "place-based

education" are mutually supportive educational traditions, this

author argues for a conscious synthesis that blends the two

discourses into a critical pedagogy of place. An analysis of critical

pedagogy is presented that emphasizes the spatial aspects of social

experience. This examination also asserts the general absence of

ecological thinking demonstrated in critical social analysis

concerned wxclusively iwth human relationships. Next, a

discussion of ecological place-based education is offered. Finally,

a critical pedagogy of place is defined. This pedagogy seeks the

twin objectives of decolonization and "reinhabitation" though

synthesizing critical and place-based approaches. A critical

pedagogy of place challenges all educators to reflect on the

relationship between the kind of education they pursue and the

kind of places we inhabit and leave behind for future generations.

Keywords: Aboriginal; Community-based Education; Homogeneity;

Centralization; First Nation; Indigenous; Native

Abstract: The recent tendency of governments to view their educational

policies in terms of the market-place, with an implied preference

for homogeneity and centralization, has created further obstacles to

the education of minority students generally, and indigenous

students in particular. The paper presents and develops the notion

of community-based education as a means of combating this

tendency. Some examples of indigenous community-based

education are examined, and there is a discussion both of its

distinctive features and underlying principles, and its potential

impact on the education of indigenous students."

Keywords: Critical Reflection; Student & Autonomy; Education

Abstract: This paper looks at an alternative teaching and learning approach

in an adult education course and examines the ways of developing

student autonomy by fully engaging them in critical reflection. If

we believe that knowledge is the result of knowing and that

learning is the business of extending the breadth of knowing, then

education is a way to help students extend their experience of

knowing and to gain a better understanding of learning. This

article, drawing from a participatory action research project,

discusses the role of critical reflection which warrants this kind of

learning. This paper will show that during the process of critical

reflection, while students recapture their experience, think about it

and evaluate it, new experience becomes meaningful and thus new

knowledge is made. It will also show how students gain a better

understanding of self and become active learners."

Abstract: The author discusses Indigenous intelligence and how we have lost

that. He states that Indigenous intelligence is the wise and

conscientious embodiment of exemplary knowledge and the use of

this knowledge in a good, beneficial and meaningful way. Within

whatever world view one is operating intelligence has to do with

more than the acquisition of knowledge and the mental

manipulation of thoughts and ideas; intelligence has to do with

activating knowledge into something useable within a system that

is charged with meaning. He talks about intelligence has been

defined for us through the eyes of Euro-American psychological

and scientific culture. He says that we cannot be intelligent, act or

https://www.batchelor.edu.au/drupal5/files/file/LibraryGuides/Zhang-Jane-08IPS164.doc

think intelligently unless we are able to attach our Indigenous

concepts, our way of being and Indigenous knowledge to our

connectedness and relationship with everything else.

Abstract: Efforts to improve learning are applauded. The planning stage is

the first essential step required for optimum learning to occur, yet

it is often skipped entirely or given superficial attention. A much

too common consequence is one that Gran Wiggins refers to as

"aimless activity" and "superficial coverage." Students expect and

appreciate learning relevant knowledge and skills that are

transferable; your efforts to improve learning will not go

unnoticed.

Aboriginals; to incorporate literary theory and pedagogical

knowledge of content into the development of Aboriginal literature

units FOR secondary school classrooms; and to incorporate these

new interpretive and pedagogical understandings into the practices

of two secondary English teachers using North American

Aboriginal literature in their classrooms.

Abstract: The author discusses the ideal of democracy has in our times. That

in the contemporary world, its unquestionable superiority as an

organizational principle of governance remains for most an

unchallenged view. In the conscience of people it has come to

mean the choice between constitutional and arbitrary authority,

empowerment and marginalization, freedom and thralldom, voice

and voicelessness. Thus as a global phenomenon, the general idea

of democracy, both as theory and praxis has become inestimable

seductive to practically all peoples and countries. With the

exception of one or two, most governments and ruling parties

claim that they are running democratic societies. Indeed, this has

been the case for most of the last 50 years, or at least for as long as

I can remember.

(bringing the realities and situation of the culture and world into

the classroom in the form of pictures, diagrams, photographs,

drawings, etc.), "praxis" (action-reflection action-action

process/cycle) and "dialogue" 2 way communication between the

teacher and learners). These elements are incorporated into a

theoretical framework, which leads to a procedure to be used in the

classroom. A sample of this procedure is demonstrated.

Short Title: Elders Teachings on Indigenous Leadership: Leadership is a Gift


Keywords: Aboriginal; Elders; First Nation; Indigenous; Native

Abstract: This qualitative study introduces a variety of considerations to help

understand ways in which Indigenous Knowledge broadens the

existing dominant views of leadership. Indigenous Elders, as a

source of Indigenous Knowledge provide intergenerational

leadership through the sharing of their teachings, oral histories and

experiences. For this study I examined the culturally relevant

Indigenous leadership program that is offered with the non-credit

Longhouse Leadership Program (LLP) at the First Nations House

of Learning (FNHL) at the University of British Columbia (UBC),

taught by Elders, cultural leaders and educators. Through the

telling of oral histories, nine Elders and cultural educators who

work with the FNHL community shared their views on Indigenous

leadership presenting historical examples of Indigenous leadership

and recommending pedagogy for the current Longhouse leadership

program. Their cultural teachings are resources for Indigenous

leadership pedagogy that is transformative. The Elders' teachings

on Indigenous leadership are transformational because they

identify and deconstruct colonial structures and support the self

determined leadership goals of local communities. The teachings

are: culture as a support for individuals, families and communities;

leadership as a gift-step forward demonstrating community

responsibilities; and holistic pedagogy all which is

http://www.scowinstitute.ca/library/documents/Elderlaw_paper.pdf

transformational when delivered within an anti racism education

framework. These teachings are consistent with those found more

generally in the academic literature, emphasizing leadership

grounded in the cultural teachings that supports living Aboriginal

communities and coalition building for change.

Short Title: Ethics of Aboriginal Research


Keywords: Aboriginal; Canada; Ethics; Research; World View; Identity;

Culture-clash; Principles; Guidelines; First Nation; Indigenous; Native

Abstract: This paper proposed a set of principles to assist in developing

ethical codes for the conduct of research within the Aboriginal

community or with external partners. It places the discussion of

research ethics in the context of cultural world view and the

struggle for self-determination as peoples and nations. It affirms

that Aboriginal Peoples have a right to participate as principals or

partners in research that generates knowledge affecting their

culture, identity and well-being. To provide context and rationale

for the principles presented, the paper outlines features of the

current public dialogue on research ethics, how ethics are framed

in Aboriginal cultures, and how Aboriginal perceptions of reality

and right behavior clash with norms prevailing in western research.

Current initiatives of Aboriginal communities and nations, research

granting councils and institutions to establish ethical guidelines for

Aboriginal research are highlighted as evidence that the

development of workable ethical regimes is already well begun.

Abstract: The North West Company (NWC), which is the leading retailer of

food and everyday products and service to remote communities

across northern Canada and Alaska, was the large business winner

of the Excellence in Workplace Literacy award in 2001. NWC's

workplace literacy program was selected for an award because of

the improvements it brought, not only to employees, but also to the

communities where they live and work. The program's primary

objective was to determine the best approach to closing the gap

between the skills workers require and those they possess. Its

enabling objectives were as follows: (1) use detailed training plans

to increase employees' technical knowledge through workplace

education and training; (2) overcome the barriers that prevent

Aboriginal employees from advancing into management positions;

(3) make learning accessible to various literacy levels by offering a

variety of training methods and using physically and emotionally

centered learning; (4) address all areas of literacy, including

interpersonal, technical, and enabling skills that increase overall

employability; and (5) promote continuous learning and upgrading

through educational institutions by offering tuition reimbursements

and recognizing achievements. The NWC workplace literacy

program was credited with improving employees' motivation and

productivity, reducing turnover costs, and enabling more

Aboriginal employees than ever to advance to managerial

positions. (MN)

Short Title: The Extended Mind Model of the Origin of Language and Culture


Keywords: Bifurcation; Emergence; Evolution; Language; Mind

Abstract: This is a model based on the evolution of notated language and

chaotic is presented to explain the emergence of language.

Language emerges as the bifurcation from percept-based to

concept-based thought. Our first words are out first concepts and

act as strange attractors for the percepts associated with that

concept. The mind is shown to be the brain acting as a percept

processor plus language.

Keywords: Continuing Education; Family; Study and Teaching; Discussion

Paper;

Abstract: The subject of this Discussion Paper is family learning activities as

they relate to the continuing education divisions of the Public

education institutions of British Columbia. The subject was one

identified for further study and focus by the Ministerial Advisory

Committee on Continuing Education. An ad hoc Advisory

Subcommittee on Family learning was struck for the purpose of

directing the development of the Discussion Paper. This latter

committee was composed of adult educators from the public

educational institutions, and representatives from the B.C. Council

for the Family.

It is hoped that the contents of the paper will stimulate discussion

on family learning activities, not only among the public

educational institutions, but also among the many private and

community agencies which offer family learning activities or are

concerned with supporting families and familial groupings.

Abstract: The purpose of the Healing Journey Toolkit is to provide culturally

appropriate resources for Aboriginal communities to assist in their

on-going efforts to address family violence and its impact on

individuals, families and entire communities. The Toolkit is

intended to offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to

violence prevention. It includes resources that promote an

understanding of the root causes of family violence in Aboriginal

communities (public education). It uses a medicine wheel approach

to foster discussion on behaviors, feelings and attitudes about

family violence that need to be addressed across all age groups and

stages of life (public awareness). It offers resources to help

individuals in crisis, or the service providers to whom they turn, to

find ways to take the first steps on their journey to well-being

(crisis intervention). Finally, the Toolkit is intended to foster

family and community healing through community dialogue, the

http://www.literacy.ca/

creation of positive messages about respectful behavior and

attitudes, and the development of supportive initiatives to address

the multiple root causes of family violence and meet the needs of

all the people affected by it (prevention).

Label: Curriculum, Pedagogy

Keywords: Challenging, Paradigm, Developing, Indigenized, Education and

Curriculum; Improving Schools

Abstract: While considerable attention is being paid to reforming education

systems to prepare students for the challenges of globalization and

a knowledge-based economy, teacher education models in the Asia

Pacific remain insufficiently critiqued. There is an urgent need to

rethink teacher education as, in spite of decades of investment and

development, or problems of inequity, attrition, incomplete and

inadequate learning continue to blight our education system. It is

proposed that teacher education needs to become more culturally

authentic as teaching and learning are best viewed as culturally

scripted activities. The utilization of indigenous knowledge will be

central to this task. The article concludes with some suggestions

for how the task may be started.

Abstract: Power and Place constitutes a declaration of American Indian

intellectual sovereignty and self-determination. It is essentially a

tribal intellectual and moral mandate requiring action, unless we

want our current educational system to be like our contemporary

political structures and practices, which all too often merely reflect

the dominant society's institutions. Consequently, the decision to

begin a discussion of American Indian education with a

consideration of metaphysics is challenging and well-founded.

Keywords: Aboriginal; Indigenous; Knowledge; Foundations; First Nations;


Abstract: This essay seeks to clarify the theoretical frameworks that have

been developed to understand Indigenous knowledge, to provide

some insight into the reasons for the tensions between Indigenous

and Eurocentric ways of knowing, and to point out the challenges

these conflicts bring to educational systems. It is part ofa study that

responds to the Government of Canada's working partnership with

First Nations to improve the quality of Aboriginal life and

education in Canada through research conducted with the

Education Renewal Initiative.

Abstract: Colonization spread around the world and has inexorably affected

millions of people over the last few centuries. There have been

many intervention strategies to overcome some of the long-term

http://www.usask.ca/education/people/battistem/csse_battiste.htm

effects of colonization, especially for education and employment.

With respect to the inequalities and discriminations that have

remained after centuries, it is less clear what might make a

difference on such a large scale. I reviewed a number of

interventions that have been tried, including: indigenous people's

movements cross cultural awareness training, anti-racism and anti-

discrimination training, decolonization workshops, liberation

theology and psychology, and truth and reconciliation

interventions. Some common and dissimilar themes are discussed

and as well as ways forward.

Abstract: The author talked about why it is important to look at issues which

surround indigenous peoples, globalization, and autonomy. She

poses several important questions that need to be asked for

understanding globalization and autonomy because within the

current global reality it is a Western worldview, largely transmitted

through local and mass media, which dominates and has some

unsettling consequences for the entire planet.

Keywords: Aboriginal; Manitoba; Languages; Cultures; Curriculum

Framework; Native Peoples of North America; Study and

Teaching; Languages; Citizenship and Youth; First Nation;

Indigenous; Native

Abstract: This framework is grounded in a traditional Aboriginal world

view. This is a valid way of seeing the world that will guide

Aboriginal peoples in reclaiming, revitalizing, maintaining, and

preserving their languages and cultures. Aboriginal languages and

cultures are continually evolving, however, which may result in

changing world views. In recognition of the diversity of evolving

Aboriginal perspectives, the Framework attempts to accommodate

changing world views while retaining a fundamental connection to

traditional world views. The intent of the Framework is to provide

a focus and direction for student learning outcomes that will

standardize learning experiences regarding teaching of Aboriginal

languages and cultures in Manitoba. The Framework also provides

a foundation for the development of other types of language

programming, such as bilingual and immersion programming.

Topic in the Senior Years can be developed into school-initiated

courses (SICs) and student-initiated projects (SIP's).

focus o the project was particularly on sustainable change in

teaching practices that could provide long-term benefits for

indigenous students. The outcomes for teachers are described in

Title: The Likelihood of Learning Communities: A Canadian Australian

Perspective

Conference Name: 2004 ACSANZ Conference

Conference Location: Macquarie University, Sydney

Pages: 9

Date: September 23 - 26, 2004


Keywords: Learning; Communities; Canadian; Local Government;

Globalization

Abstract: The concept and practice of „learning communities‟ has received

favorable responses in Canada (Human Resources and Skills

Development Canada 2003) and Australia in recent years (Kosky,

L. (2004). “Learning communities are a form of community

development in which local people from every community sector

act together to enhance the social, economic, cultural and

environmental conditions of their community.” (Faris 2001a).

Specifically, it is a form of learning-based community

development in which the concept of lifelong learning is explicitly

used to mobilize the learning resources of all community sectors,

including those of the civic component (Faris 2001a).

Governments in both nations recognize the benefits of empowering

local communities through the facilitation and support of learning

communities, yet people and institutions in both places grapple to

implement policy ideals and develop satisfactory institutional

mechanisms to create sustainable learning communities. The

uncertainty of institutional mechanisms is a function of the

http://www.readingtolearn.com.au/

differing dynamics of the federal structure of government in each

country. This paper will explore the recent history of learning

communities in two local governments, one in the province of

British Columbia in Canada, the other in the State of Victoria in

Australia. It summarizes the involvement of municipal/local,

provincial/state and national governments in the advocacy,

development and resourcing of learning communities in each

place. It identifies the characteristics of effective leadership from

local/municipal government in the support of a learning

community culture.

Abstract: This research project was developed to engage literacy

stakeholders in a research initiative relevant to Aboriginal people.

The intent is to facilitate a process that will ensure that Native

literacy in Ontario is perceived, acknowledged and recognized

“holistically” as distinct to Aboriginal peoples, in relation to

mainstream literacy.

“Holistic” describes the Aboriginal philosophy in which

“everything is related” by virtue of shared origins and in which, by

extension, the human being is considered an entire whole; that is,

mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally as an individual,

with one's family and extended family, one's people, and with the

cosmos in sacred relationships. This is distinct from a “holistic”

philosophy in which the term „related' is taken as meaning „all

things are interconnected' by virtue of sharing an environment in

which action leads to a type of „domino effect' in a secular world.

Training Institute (NTI), an institute that functioned from 1980 to

1987 in Kamloops, British Columbia. Ten students, two

administrators and one elder were interviewed to explore how the

processes of affective education were included in the NTI

curriculum. The thesis develops a theory of educational

transformation based on the educational principles developed at the

Native raining Institute that posits a theory of affective

development founded on Aboriginal knowledge, learning identity,

values, competencies, ideals and vision.

Four arguments for the inclusion of affective education in

contemporary curriculum are presented. First, the Indigenous

assertion that emotions and values are essential to the

decolonization process and therefore necessary for Aboriginal

success in the educational environment is defined. Second, the

argument of modern European philosophy that affect is more

essential to the process of learning than has been previously

thought. Third, the recent developments in cognitive science that

uphold the Aboriginal world view that thinking and feeling are not

only connected by that emotion plays the major role in the

functioning of mind and memory. Fourth, the comments of the

students from the NTI that the affective aspect of the curriculum at

the institute was essential to their learning.

Keywords: Non-Academic; Literacy; Outcomes

Abstract: Forty basic literacy instructors, at a conference in May 1999,

drafted six techniques for the documentation of non-academic

changes that may occur in the lives of learners as a result of

participation in literacy instruction. Several conference participants

in consultation with the project coordinator, Evelyn Battell from

http://www.edst.educ.ubc.ca/faculty/lee/brownthesis.pdf

Malaspina University-College, further developed the

documentation techniques. The techniques were then field-tested

by literacy practitioners including instructors, tutors, and tutor

coordinators. The final report presents a description of the

following techniques for documenting non-academic outcomes

(NAOs) for literacy students: A Multi-Media Approach, Using

Journals, Goal Setting by Learners, Anecdotal Reporting and End -

of-Term Reports (combination of two techniques) and Questions

for Developing Awareness. The final report also documents the

difficulties encountered during the field-testing, outlines what was

learned during the field-testing process and identifies six

recommendations, based on the project, that call for more

extensive and focused study of non-academic outcomes.

Abstract: This paper reviews Native Ways of Knowing and similar terms in

academic scholarship. Part I introduces questions to guide a

discussion on Native Ways of Knowing. Part II deals with the

assumptions or general framework for this discussion and

definitions. Part III describes a continuum to analyze the use of the

terms Native Ways of Knowing (NWK), indigenous ways of

knowing, and traditional culture in academic venues. The

description is helpful as means of placing scholarship on Native

Ways of Knowing contextually and temporally in mainstream

academic review. Part IV deals with sample scholarship described

using a non-hierarchical typology of process, position, person, and

product (results). It draws on twenty-five pieces of scholarship in

the last decade. Part V presents a term lattice derived from use of

the terms in representative publications and draws conclusions

about the use of terms.

Abstract: The Canadian Counselling Association‟s Ethical Guidelines for

Professional Conduct (1994) indicates that the provision of

counseling services must consider the cultural perspective of the

client who may be seeking help. The Northern Aboriginal Peer

Support Network is a bicultural peer counseling program

developed as a strategic clinical response to post secondary

students attending the First Nations Center at the University of

Northern British Columbia. The program was inspired by the work

of Honor France and Rod McCormick (1994). This new program

offers bicultural peer counseling and service delivery and allows

lay counselors and their clients to be immersed within the

aboriginal culture and to practice counseling from a medicine

wheel perspective. The curriculum also bridges this perspective

with western approaches including models brief therapy. This very

unique peer counseling curriculum was developed and tailored to

the needs of aboriginal and non aboriginal post secondary students

in the north. This is a program for students at UNBC who are

straddling the issues of biculturalism, new living environments,

and numerous daily and historical stresses while making the

transition to the post secondary setting. Most importantly, this

program has proven that aboriginal and non aboriginal students can

work together successfully and constructively in a post secondary

setting in the north.

Abstract: The National Association of Friendship Centers (NAFC) is a

national Aboriginal organization representing the concerns and

interests of 117 cultural and community development

organizations across Canada. The NAFC was established in 1972

to represent the growing number of Friendship Centers, as well as

the clients they serve, at the national level. The mission statement

of the NAFC is as follows: To improve the quality of life for

Aboriginal Peoples in an urban environment by supporting self-

determined activities which encourage equal access to, and

participation in, Canadian society, and which respect and

strengthen the increasing emphasis on Aboriginal cultural

distinctiveness. Friendship Centers deliver a wide spectrum of

programs and services to Aboriginal people living in towns and

cities across the country. Friendship Centers are community based

and directed Aboriginal institutions serving the interests of urban

Aboriginal Peoples in the areas of social, cultural, recreational,

economic and community development. Friendship Centers

provide and promote human resource development through a wide

range of programs and services to a diverse and increasing urban

Aboriginal community. In the past year alone, Friendship Centers

across Canada provided over 1,000,000 client services through

over 1200 programs. All Friendship Centre programs are provided

“status-blind”, that is, without consideration if a person is a status

Indian, non-status Indian, Métis or Inuit. Friendship Centers and

Family Literacy The growth of urban Aboriginal populations

highlights the urgency of improving success for Aboriginal people

of all ages in urban educational settings. At the same time, there is

general agreement that urban Aboriginal education should

contribute to the recovery and retention of Aboriginal cultures.

Short Title: Redefined rhetorics: Academic discourse and Aboriginal students


Keywords: Aboriginal; Redefined Rhetorics; Academic Discourse; Aboriginal

Students; First Nation; Indigenous; Native

Abstract: To Aboriginal1 peoples, essay writing has symbolized the loss of

languages, cultures, and people groups. However, the paradigms of

classic Aristotelian rhetoric, as taught in introductory composition

http://aerc.usask.ca/downloads/Fadden&LeFrance%20Abstract%202008.pdf.

http://www.repositories.cdlib.org/gseis/interactions/vol2/iss1/art9/

courses at university, are being reshaped, especially by theories

such as new rhetorical genre theory (Giltrow, 2002, among others)

that emphasize the socio-political contexts of knowledge. This

shift creates greater opportunity for traditional, Aboriginal

discourse conventions to be welcomed as frameworks for new

knowledge.

These dynamics, in turn, make way for the process Bakhtin (1981)

terms hybridization, the co-expression of “two or more different

linguistic consciousnesses, often widely separated in time and

social space” (p. 429) and resulting in what has been termed

métissage (Zuss, 1997; Chambers, Donald, Hasebe-Ludt, 2002;

Donald, 2003), the complementary co-existence of different voices

in one place. These processes are especially significant for

Aboriginal students who are positioned in both discursive

communities as they learn academic discourse. I outline the traits

of classic rhetoric as they are encoded in written academic

discourse and give a rationale for redefinition. Then I examine how

conventional definitions of discourse are being expanded in a way

that allows Native voices valid expression within the academic

discursive community. Third, I summarize some of the new

understandings and approaches in both discourses that open the

way for the hybridization process to occur. These changes mean

that university writing is becoming a discourse that connotes gain

instead of loss for Aboriginal students.

Abstract: This article focuses on a participatory research project designed to

promote student use of digital video to explore conceptions of

health and wellness. We have viewed aspects of student resistance

through the cultural perspectives that guide the Aboriginal

education programs involved with the study. In presenting this

piece, we have experimented with a number of different styles to

represent the different cultural, ethical, and educational dimensions

of the research project and to advance a form of resistance to

standardized representations of research results. Through video

re‐presentation of culture, students resisted the privileging of text

and dominant cultural constructions of their personal identities.

Abstract: Education plays a primary role in ensuring language maintenance

and school success in Saskatchewan, Canada, and around the

world. Language includes both "standardized" language and

vernacular dialects. This document reviews the literature related to

teaching English as a Second Dialect in school. The review covers

information on the problems and challenges faced by speakers of

minority languages including social and cultural processes and

implications of language maintenance as well as how languages

are taught and learned in school. It also includes literature on best

practices in teaching English as a Second Dialect (ESD). This

review will have relevance for teachers, curriculum developers,

administrators, and policymakers working in ESD, particularly

those in Saskatchewan and Canada who want to address challenges

in teaching ESD to Aboriginal students and ensure that they

maintain their roots and develop their wings. (contains 99

Abstract: This paper describes a “scaffolding” methodology for teaching

Indigenous adults returning to formal study at the Koori Centre,

University of Sydney. The paper begins by outlining the

background to the Koori Centre program and the literacy needs of

Indigenous students. We then describe the methodology, including

the approach to teaching academic reading, making notes from

reading, and writing new texts using these notes. These are key

skills required for academic study, which Koori Centre students

need to learn. The paper concludes by describing some of the

results for students‟ literacy development and changing approaches

to teaching in the Koori Centre.

Keywords: Aboriginal; Secondary Education; Certificate; Matriculation;

Abstract: This monograph presents a case study of a significant innovation in

Malta: the establishment of an indigenous system of examinations

at the secondary school and postsecondary levels. This is an

http://www.atsis.uq.edu.au/ajie/index.html?page=41586&pid=37473

example of a small state setting up its own end-of-cycle

certification rather than using what is provided by metropolitan

countries. The introductory section gives a brief overview of those

features of the Maltese education systems that are the most

relevant to the issue of examination, describing the methodological

strategies employed in creating this account and discussing the

origins and development of the present system of assessment. The

second section discusses the evolution of Malta's examination

system at the secondary and postsecondary levels, noting changes

in the United Kingdom and their repercussions on Malta. The third

section discusses the new examination system, focusing on the

secondary education certificate examination and the matriculation

certificate examination. The fourth section discusses organizational

challenges. The fifth section examines challenges encountered

(staffing partnerships, human resources, quality of staff,

monitoring, local and international recognition, and financing).

The sixth section examines the impact on the education system. A

concluding section suggests that Malta's attempt to indigenize its

secondary and postsecondary level examination system has paid

off in educational terms. (contains 35 references.) (SM)

Keywords: Assessment; Stories; Pedagogy

Abstract: Storytelling has long been part of a child‟s educational

development, however, its use as a learning tool in higher

education has not been fully explored and offers great potential in

supporting the learning process. This paper proposes the use of

storytelling as a reflective tool in higher education and investigates

this by considering its use in art and design to support reflection

about assessment. An interactive learning environment,

„StoriesAbout... Assessment‟ has been developed to mediate the

on-line narratives and some emerging themes from the current

pilot study are discussed.

Abstract: This paper classifies Canada's approach to post-secondary

education for Aboriginal peoples into three categories - - the add-

on approach, the partnership approach, and the First Nations

control approach. Each approach views the purpose and nature of

education for Aboriginal peoples differently, components of each

approach often co-exist within a program and institution. Case

studies have been undertaken to provide a clearer idea of the

Title: "That's how people learn. It's through the connection"

Collaborative learning in an Aboriginal Adult Literacy Centre

Year: 2008

Author: Debra Hauer & Maurice C. Taylor

Conference Name: Thinking Beyond Borders: Global Ideas, Global Values - 27th

National Conference 2008

Conference Location: University of BC, Vancouver, BC

Pages: 6


Keywords: Aboriginal; First Nation; Indigenous; Native; Learn; Connection;

Collaborative; Literacy

Abstract: Collaborative learning is an important component in adult literacy

learning but has not been investigated among Aboriginal adults.

The concepts of cognitive apprenticeship (LeGrand Brandt et al,

1993) and guided participation (Rogoff, 2003) fuelled this case

study of an Aboriginal Adult Literacy Centre. Results indicate that,

adult learners moved through five phases of cognitive

apprenticeship towards increased participation in the literacy

community. These findings point to particular patterns of guided

participation in Aboriginal settings, and broaden our understanding

of a socio-cultural model of adult learning.

Abstract: "In any classroom, pupils will be drawn together for many

purposes and we can refer to such within classroom contexts as

'groupings'. The teacher often creates these, and the way that they

are set up, and how they are used for particular learning purposes.

If the relationships between grouping size, interaction type and

learning tasks in groups are planned strategically then learning

experiences will be more effective. However, research suggests

that the relationships between these elements are often unplanned

and the 'social pedagogic' potential of classroom learning is

therefore unrealized. In this paper we explore the notion of social

pedagogy in relation to group work. It is argued that research and

theory relevant to group work in classrooms is limited, and that a

new approach, sensitive to group work under everyday classroom

conditions is required. This paper identifies key features of a social

pedagogy of classroom group work, which can inform effective

group work in classrooms. It also describes the background to a

current large scale UK project which has been set up to design with

teachers a programme of high quality group work in classrooms at

both primary and secondary phases." @ 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All

Short Title: The Transformative Nature of Culture-Based Literacy Provision in

Native Literacy Programs


Keywords: Aboriginal; First Nation; Indigenous; Native; Transformative;

Literacy; Native Programs

Abstract: The major objective of Cooper's research study was to explore the

transformative nature of culture-based literacy approaches in the

Native literacy field in Ontario using Indigenous research

methodologies and applying a phenomenological analysis to the

findings. It has shown that culture-based approaches to Native

literacy are indeed transformative, not only for learners but for

tutors and practitioners as well.

Based on Cooper's findings, the report includes implications for

literacy practice and further research.

Short Title: The Voice of Students at Risk


Keywords: Students at Risk; Middle School Educators; Failure; Photovoice;

Action Research; Protective Factors; Engagement; Dropout

Abstract: Middle school educators want to gain deeper understanding of

students at-risk for failure in order to improve practice and student

performance. Paying attention to student voice encourages the

formation of community and acts as a supportive factor by

deepening student engagement in school. This study examined the

social validity of Photovoice, an action research strategy that

provides an opportunity for student voice, and has the potential to

increase engagement. Through Photovoice, individuals of a

community create and share photographs. The sharing of the

photographs becomes a means of personal development and needs

assessment, establishing relationships, making changes in the

environment and in teaching practice, creating community,

developing a shared sense of vision, and creating awareness in

other members of the community. The dialogue and engagement

with students produced in the process changed teacher perceptions

of the student by breaking the child out of the isolated perceptual

context that an educational setting can sometimes create.

Implication for practice will be discussed.

Keywords: Aboriginal; Water, Spiritual; Ecological and Perspective; First


Abstract: Water quality and availability is an urgent global concern. This

paper documents, through the use of ethnographic research

methods, First Nations‟ concerns and perspectives about water.

The paper‟s scope is primarily limited to the views of three Elders

from the southern Interior of British Columbia: Mary Thomas from

the Secwepemc, Millie Michell from the Nlaka‟pamux, and Mary

Louie from the Syilx Nation. Secondary literature sources

complement the Elders‟ sharing of Traditional Ecological

Knowledge (TEK). The Elders‟ emphasis on the spiritual

importance of water is contrasted with Western science‟s emphasis

on water‟s unique physical and chemical properties. This

fundamental difference raises questions about Western science‟s

approach to freshwater ecosystem management and study.

Ultimately, this paper documents the wisdom of highly respected

Elders about water in relation to the culture and freshwater

ecosystems of South-Central British Columbia.
