3rd yr B.Ed paper
"How does the culture of parents impinge on a child's learning?" I am writing a paper based on this question, with a focus on indigenous cultures. If anyone has any experience or resources that may be relevant, I would appreciate the assistance!!! Ta |

Re: 3rd yr B.Ed paper
Katie, There is a mass of information available on the issue of families and student learning. Unfortunately, most of it is the non-evidenced based, "I watched a class and the teacher looked happy and the kids looked happy, therefore my theory is proven" variety. Furthermore, researching anything to do with Indigenous children sparks 'Polically correct' alarm bells, so please be very cautious that whatever you access is scientific because it probably won't be. If you are after evidence-based research focused on Indigenous children and their families, I am aware of work done by Dr. Marion de Lemos in the 70's. Dr. de Lemos was the first woman in Australia to receive a PhD, and her PhD thesis was based on research undertaken in a remote Indigenous community. She studied with the great man Piaget himself in France, and he reviewed her thesis. I don't have a copy but I'm sure the Librarian at your University can access it for you. The Multilit pilot study in two remote Indigenous communities organised by Noel Pearson are evidence-based. I don't know how much of this information has been published but you can probaly access whatever is publicly available via the Multilit website. Good luck! |
