Ng膩 p奴r膩kau o Te Kura o Tuahiwi. A Kaupapa M膩ori Case Study: a mixed methods approach
Investigator: Jen Smith
Partnership: Te Whare W膩nanga o Waitaha | 茄子视频app官网; Tuahiwi School
Funding: $277,287 over 2 years
P奴r膩kau, as a traditional form of M膩ori narrative, are central to the sharing of knowledge, culture and philosophy. This research, through a Kaupapa M膩ori approach, seeks to respond to the needs of Te Kura o Tuahiwi (the location of the case study) through the development of place-based p奴r膩kau as a resource for early literacy teaching. The impact of these p奴r膩kau will be explored, including the usefulness of these as a teaching and learning resource and the impact on vocabulary learning and emerging literacy capabilities of tamariki in dual language and r奴maki contexts.

Pa虅ngarau unleashed: A multiple case study of de-streaming secondary mathematics
Kay-Lee Jones, Dr David Pomeroy, Associate Professor Sara Tolbert and Nathan Riki.
Partnership: Te Whare W膩nanga o Waitaha | 茄子视频app官网; Te P膩 o R膩kaihaut奴; Te Kura o Hine Waiora | Christchurch Girls鈥 High School; Onslow College; Mana College; Te T膩huhu o te M膩tauranga | Ministry of Education; Tokona te Raki | M膩ori Futures Collective
Funding: $449,352 over 3 years
Many secondary schools in Aotearoa currently 鈥榮tream鈥 mathematics, despite evidence that streaming exacerbates achievement inequalities and harms self-confidence. The need to 鈥榙e- stream鈥 mathematics is clear and widely endorsed. However, the transition to mixed 鈥榓bility鈥 mathematics is challenging and complex, involving changes in pedagogy, assessment, leadership, and community relationships. This project will use a bi-cultural teacher-researcher-student partnership model, grounded in the principles of ako and whanaungatanga, to provide four contrasting case studies of non- streamed secondary mathematics. In doing so, it will illustrate diverse ways to initiate and sustain effective transitions to non-streamed mathematics.
