This book presents the findings of a case study conducted in a MÄori medium school where a space was created for PÅ«taiao (Western science) teaching and learning from year 1 to 13. Science is currently taught in Te Reo MÄori in primary school and in English in secondary school, and evidence suggests that students are engaging in science education, learning to investigate, and achieving in science. In New Zealand, most students attend English medium state schools; however, approximately 15% of indegenous students attend MÄori medium schools. These schools are underpinned with Kura Kaupapa MÄori philosophy, which is culturally specific to MÄori and aims to revitalise the MÄori language, and MÄori knowledge and culture. MÄori students' engagement and achievement continues to be a challenge for both mainstream and MÄori medium schools, teachers and students due to lack of access to science teachers who can teach in Te Reo MÄori. School leaders and whanau (families) believed that by year 9 (age 13) their students had developed their identity as MÄori, and were proficient in Te Reo MÄori. They wanted their students to have the option to learn science, experience success and have the choice to conitnue in science, so they made the difficult decision for science to be taught in English in secondary school. The book discusses how teachers in indigenous schools, who have extensive knowledge of culture and context specific pedagogies, can gain confidence to teach science through collaboration with and support from researchers with whom they have developed strong professional relationships. | Learning Through School Science Investigation In An Indigenous School by Azra Moeed, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
