<p>Māori change agents are often employed in educational initiatives that seek to redress Māori student achievement inequities in Aotearoa New Zealand. Their experience in this role is under researched. This qualitative research project uses a kaupapa Māori approach to investigate the experiences of Māori change agents working in mainstream educational institutions. Results indicated that these facilitators experienced different challenges that had both internal and external dimensions. The metaphor of the kaiwero (challenger) in a pōwhiri (formal Māori welcome) is used to explore the researcher’s interpretations of the experiences of Māori change agents. In order to be effective Māori change agents must be well prepared and understand the different dimensions of the change that they face when attempting to facilitate change. Key recommendations, associated with research results, highlight the importance of external supports and facilitator preparation and ongoing professional development. Creating a shared vision of change, with a clear understanding of the change agent’s roles and responsibilities is a key element of support. Prior to the introduction of programmes aimed at enhancing Māori student achievement, school communities must create a common understanding and vision for Māori student success which must be informed by an understanding of the power, race, colonisation and political issues.</p>

Kaupapa Māori

In settler countries, attention is now extending to the wellbeing benefits of recognising and promoting the Indigenous cultural identity of neighbourhoods as a contributing factor to more equitable and healthier communities. Re-indigenisation efforts to (re)implement cultural factors into urban design can be challenging and ineffective without the leadership and collaboration of local-Indigenous peoples. Undertaken in Aotearoa New Zealand, Te Ara Mua — Future Street project, demonstrated that co-design has critical potential in the reclamation of Indigenous autonomy, increased local-Indigenous presence and revitalisation of cultural identity. Employing a Kaupapa Māori (Māori-centred) research approach, we focused on the workings and perspectives of mana whenua (local-Indigenous peoples) and community stakeholder engagement in Te Ara Mua. An Indigenous theoretical framework, Te Pae Mahutonga, was utilised in the data analysis to explore perspectives of Indigenous collective agency, empowerment, and wellbeing. Our research demonstrates that developing capacity amongst Indigenous communities is integral for effective engagement and that the realisation of autonomy in urban design projects has broader implications for Indigenous sovereignty, spatial justice and health equity. Significantly, we argue that future community enhancement strategies must include not only re-designing and re-imagining initiatives, but also re-indigenising.

Kaupapa Māori

We describe a collaboration between Māori (Indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) and Tauiwi (non-Māori) researchers on a software engineering project. Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) provides the basis for Māori to lead research that involves Māori as participants or intends to impact Māori outcomes. Through collaboration, an extension of the traditional four-step software design process was created, culminating in a nine-step integrated process that included Kaupapa Māori (Māori ideology) principles. The collaboration experience for both Māori and Tauiwi highlighted areas of misunderstanding within the research context based on differing worldviews and our ability to navigate and work through this. This article provides context, guiding principles, and recommended research processes where Māori and Tauiwi aim to collaborate.

Cross-disciplinary supervision is occurring amongst social workers in Aotearoa New Zealand and it is regarded positively. However, the findings of this research involving 54 social workers who are members of the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW) indicates there is a) no clear understanding of what constitutes cross-disciplinary supervision; b) potential for issues to arise and c) a need for guidelines. The results are discussed in terms of developing knowledge, practice competence and accountability in relation to the practice of cross-disciplinary supervision and a framework for cross disciplinary supervision is presented.

<p><b>In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori voters have the option to sign up for one of two electoral rolls: the Māori roll or the general roll. This function of Indigenous political choice and representation occupies a unique place in Aotearoa New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements. </b></p><p>While the Māori electorates have been around for over 150 years, the number of seats have grown from only four to seven in the New Zealand House of Parliament. Electoral roll populations determine the number of seats in Parliament, and provide a sole line of accountability to Māori communities for elected representatives. The Māori Electoral Option, which provides voters the opportunity to change rolls, is only presented once every five years. In this thesis I identify three pervasive systemic barriers, as well as a number of other issues, present in the electoral roll option process. </p><p>This research contributes to the growing literature looking at rangatahi Māori experiences intersecting with identity, place, space and time. Through a Kaupapa Māori lens, this thesis uses interview findings and quantitative analysis to discuss the experiences of rangatahi navigating the Māori electoral roll choice. Here I explore the various influences and complexities which impact rangatahi Māori interaction with the electoral rolls as well as the broader socio-political landscape.</p>

Educational Information

Introduction. The amount of information offered for study in modern educational institutions is rapidly increasing. Overcoming the inconsistency of the obligation to master the increasing flow of educational information and achieving the necessary "level" of training in fulfilling the traditional requirement of pedagogy – withstanding an acceptable amount of visibility leads to the mass introduction of multimedia tools. The folding so-called clip thinking shades the problems of filling thesaurus learning information virtually uncontrollable content and quality.Materials and Methods. Theoretical and empirical methods of research were used in the course of the work: analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, comparison, scientific theorization.Results. Clip-thinking interferes with a clear understanding of the context, and therefore the clip leaves no trace in semantically related phenomena. The trend of radical change in the roles of teachers and students reveals the main reasons and conditions for the transition to visualized presentation of educational information. In addition to the apparent negative consequences of the current pedagogical situation, some advantages of the protective reactions developed by modern learners to the most powerful stream of educational information are revealed. Studies have confirmed the risks of over-visibility in the learning process. Objective differences in the purpose and effectiveness of the types of visibility considered are highlighted. The main points of the formation of visual images are reflected, the obligatory maintenance of the conditions of problems in the educational process is emphasized.Discussion and Conclusions. The studies that have been carried out present an argument for the recommendations for the proposed frame-graphic approach in the organization of the educational process. The orientation of the educational process for each allocated group is justified, which requires a rather different nature of the script. One solution is to use educational information visualization tools to ensure the sustainability of the creative thinking vector.

The effective delivery of special education relies heavily upon the type of family collaboration beyond the students' disability, an area that is commonly overlooked in education. Hence, based on the schema presented here, the students' unique cultural and familial needs become paramount in boosting student achievement. The author contends that inclusive practices, coupled with a peacemaking curricula that is culturally responsive, has the potential to provide the ripe amount of programming to enable students to become change agents. Additionally, peacemaking coupled with diversity, tiered interventions, and family collaborations enlarge the floor of opportunity for students with special needs. Students with identified special and other needs and who come from diverse backgrounds benefit not only from rigorous and goal-centered instruction, but also from culturally responsive teaching and pedagogy beyond their disability, embedded with culturally-responsive family collaboration.

Contemporary Approach

The paper focuses on the co-creation of learning as a contemporary approach to engage learners. Today researchers discuss different engaging practices based on the learner-centred strategies, trying to respond to variety of personal learning needs, requirements and interests. By having a central role in the process, learners can decide how to organize their learning based on their abilities and stay actively engaged in the process. The idea of learners as change agents, active partners, producers and co-creators of their own learning has been a topic of increased interest in recent years. Development of student-led, collaborative initiatives leads educational institutions towards promoting co-creating of learning processes and co-created learning outputs.
