Kaupapa Maori Research

According to the Rangahau website, there are 8 key elements or principles of Kaupapa Māori research:

• Tino Rangatiratanga - The Principle of Self-determination
• Taonga Tuku Iho - The Principle of Cultural Aspiration
• Ako Māori - The Principle of Culturally Preferred Pedagogy
• Kia piki ake i ngā raruraru o te kainga - The Principle of Socio-Economic Mediation
• Whānau - The Principle of Extended Family Structure
• Kaupapa - The Principle of Collective Philosophy

Implications for lit review of growth Mind set that I saw

Many Maori students undertake tertiary study to “give back to their community” i.e. they are social outcome motivated.

Links to maori working as a collective

Maori are working hard every day to arrive in the pakeha world and then depart to their world.Lots of reconciling to be done.

Dominant culture factor

Maori research can not be neatly fitted into current research paradigms - it needs a more holistic approach,

Maori world view different to pakeha need to recognise what Maori value, how they view the world, and acknowledge and value difference. Our understandings need to be developed as Maori understandings do not fit the dominant Pakeha way. Assessments are also not  developed to gather data from a Maori perspective. They do not fit Maori Tikanga.

Important to Note The concept of the growth mindset is becoming increasingly prevalent in education today,with a number of education influences advocating for the implementation and teaching of the mindset (Edutopia, 2016; Schwartz, 2015). Referred to in academia as either the “incremental theory of intelligence” (Dweck & Leggett, 1988, p. 262) or the “theory of malleable intelligence” (Dweck, 2000, p. 3), holders of growth mindsets recognise that their intellectual capacity can be developed, with effort and determination. This is in contrast to a fixed mindset, or “entity theory of intelligence” (Dweck & Leggett, 1988, p.262)  – those who possess this type of mindset believe their intellectual capacity is unalterable.
