    Overview

    Introduction to Māori pedagogy, with an emphasis on the concepts and social structure that are integral for teaching and learning in Māori contexts.

    The paper focuses on developing critical thinkers through understanding the principles of a critical pedagogy and, in particular, Māori pedagogy. This paper provides a foundation with which to understand the emergence of Kaupapa Māori education in New Zealand as a response to the failure of mainstream education to adequately meet the needs of Māori families and their children. It will provide a clearer understanding of how pedagogy can affect learning and the progression of Māori to attain higher qualifications to be able to participate equitably in our local New Zealand society, as well as global societies, and effect transformational change.
