This study explores the pedagogical significance of life experiences of Indigenous students from an Australian community school and its relation to school participation. In particular the study focuses on the implications of students’ associations with ‘place’ on school curriculum. With the rate of participation of Indigenous students in education currently lower compared with non-Indigenous students, this study further informs our understanding of this phenomenon.

Abstract:

While participation is slowly increasing, Indigenous Australian students are still significantly under-represented in higher education. The reasons for this are complex and varied, including: Cultural unfamiliarity with Western-dominant university epistemology; historical exclusion from participation in higher education; and socioeconomic factors. However, little is known about the lived experiences and collective narratives of Indigenous Australian students as they transition into university. This study was designed to address this gap, by exploring the narratives, experiences and percept

Abstract:

Boarding school has been and continues to be an important stage in the educational experiences of many Aboriginal people living in remote communities in Northern Territory, Australia. The experience of moving away from family, land and community presents many challenges for students moving to boarding school and managing the dramatic transition between two vastly different cultures. This study focused on identifying the factors that help students successfully transition from a remote community to boarding school. The study used an explanatory sequential mixed methods approach to investigate an

The research study described in this report was conducted in 2007 at a Kindergarten to Year 12 College, situated in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. Using case study methods, this research aimed to examine the scaffolding techniques used by two Reading Recovery teachers as they supported the language and literacy learning of two Indigenous Reading Recovery students. And further, to examine the impact of this scaffolding on each student’s language and literacy learning.<br>Multiple data sets were collected and examined with results discussed throughout this study.

Abstract:

Questa tesi tratta l’importanza e i limiti dell’educazione delle lingue Aborigene e dello Stretto di Torres nelle scuole in Australia. Le lingue Indigene in Australia hanno una storia difficile, fatta di privazioni che ne misero in pericolo la sopravvivenza. Negli scorsi decenni le lingue Aborigene sono state messe in risalto, in modo da salvarle dalla loro estinzione. Diversi programmi incoraggiano il loro insegnamento nelle scuole, tuttavia non c’è ancora una politica che lo regoli a livello nazionale. La prima parte della tesi si focalizza sulla condizione delle lingue Aborigene in Australi

Abstract:

Many misconceptions about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders stem from Australia’s period of colonisation in the 18th and 19th centuries when Indigenous people were believed to be inferior by European settlers. It is disturbing that after 200 years these negative ideas still exist and are often perpetuated through the mass media. Even though schools are well positioned to challenge these colonial values; unfortunately there are many factors which affect the depth and quality of teaching Aboriginal content, such as culture, history and contemporary issues.

Abstract:

The increase in Indigenous participation in university courses in recent years has not been matched by an increase in graduation. In the mainstream university population, student success has been linked to approaches to learning, which are linked to conceptions of learning. This study investigates what conceptions of learning Indigenous students identify at the beginning of their university career. Thirty six students completed a 'Reflections on Learning Inventory' developed by Meyer (1995). Nine of these students were interviewed in depth about what they thought learning was and how they woul

As an Indigenous research study into the cultural quality of Indigenous education this thesis focuses on the proposition that mainstream education marginalises Indigenous learners because of its entrenchment in the Western worldview. The thesis opens with an analysis of the cultural dynamics of Indigenous values, the politics of Indigenous identity, and the hegemonic constraints of West-centric knowledge. This analysis is then drawn upon to critically examine the cultural predisposition of mainstream education. The arguments proffered through this critical examination support the case that

Some reasons for this relatively low participation may be locational and monetary disadvantage, household overcrowding and a curriculum that is not always relevant.

Abstract:

A growing number of demographic studies have highlighted the disadvantaged status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across nearly all educational settings, ranging from the pre-school to university environments. Despite these studies relying heavily upon descriptive statistical techniques, there is a lack of strong quantitative research examining potential factors that may contribute to this disadvantaged status of Indigenous Australian students, especially within the discipline of educational psychology. With this in mind, this investigation attempted to quantitatively unravel

Abstract:

The need for non-Indigenous Australians to be more cognisant of the entangled histories of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, has reverberated through a range of recent reviews of Australian higher education and policy documents which recommend better understanding of Indigenous Australia grounded in tertiary curricula. This policy emphasis has led to a national commitment to curricular which prepares university graduates to practise more effectively when working with or for Indigenous Australians. Consequently, university graduates will need to think beyond the simple binaries of blac

Abstract:

Australia and Peru are both signatories of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which asserts that indigenous peoples have a right to an education in their own languages, and that States have an obligation to ensure this is possible. Nevertheless, despite similarities in the early histories of indigenous education and the emergence of bilingual programs in the 1970s, the current language policy situations differ greatly between the two countries. This thesis seeks to explain the different outcomes of bilingual education

Abstract:

Those who have finished high school and/or obtained non-school qualifications experience a range of positive outcomes throughout their lives. Despite these benefits being likely to apply to the Indigenous Australian population, current as well as past participation in education is substantially lower than that of the non-Indigenous population. Some reasons for this relatively low participation may be locational and monetary disadvantage, household overcrowding and a curriculum that is not always relevant. How Indigenous Australians form their expectations about the benefits of education and wh

Abstract:

Two primary, interdependent goals of the NSW Higher School Certificate Aboriginal Studies course are enhancing Indigenous students’ self-concepts and educational outcome. It was considered that these would lead to increased Indigenous student participation and retention to Year 12. Yet recently there has been a decline in enrolments. Despite the introduction of Aboriginal Studies over a decade ago, no rigorous research has been undertaken to determine the impact of the course or the extent to which the aims of the course have been achieved.
