What this paper is about
Nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei pepa, whakamīharo hoki! Ko te wawata, ka haere ngātahi tātou ki mua, i runga anō i te huarahi o te mātauranga.
This course explores how Māori and Western philosophies of knowledge and being can assist us to identify and address issues that implicate Māori in education. Throughout this course we consider the presence of 'tangata' in education. How dominant is the 'self' in relationships with the world that are held out to be Māori? How do mainstream constructions of education encourage the presence of 'tangata'?
A knowledge of reo Māori, while useful, is not essential.
Overall, the aims of this course are to:
1. Consider the ways in which Māori and Western philosophies of education and knowledge generally either advocate or resist mainstream education.
2. Consider the ways in which Māori notions of being and metaphysics function within the context of colonisation
