Sharing, listening, learning and developing understandings of Kaupapa Māori research by engaging with two Māori communities involved in education.

This paper is a culmination of common understandings that were elicited from two pieces of research: ‘The Impact of the BHP New Zealand Steel Mining on the Tangata Whenua and the Environment’ and ‘The Impact of Maori Medium Education within a Mainstream Secondary School on the Lives of its Participants, in particular the Teachers, Caregivers and Students’. It was at the conclusion of each research project and as a consequence of informal conversations and discussions that this paper evolved. The paper discusses shared understandings in the context of Kaupapa Māori research methodology and key findings from the two research projects

Te Puni Rumaki – Strengthening Māori medium initial teacher education

The delivery of initial teacher education for Māori medium contexts in Aotearoa seeks to support the revitalization of the indigenous language and practices in collaboration with the current education system. This presentation introduces a research project begun early in 2013 with providers, student teachers, schools and communities involved in respective Māori medium programmes. This research project has a "positive output approach" where fundamental elements to the success of these various programmes are shared. The wide range of Māori medium initial teacher education settings is investigated. Consequences from the research findings will also be discussed
