Education and Social Work

2024 Semester One (1243) / Semester Two (1245) (15 POINTS)

Course Prescription

Promotes development of a defensible philosophy of learning and teaching that addresses interactions and intersections between and among professional knowledge bases. Examines pedagogical, ethical and contextual factors influencing teaching practice. Facilitates critique of practitioner inquiry with reference to cognate literature and personal philosophy in relation to the final teaching practicum. Examines te reo Māori discourse relevant to pakirehua ngaio contexts.

Course Overview

This course is the third in the suite of Pakirehua ngaio kōwae ako taught in Years One, Two and Three of the BEd(Tchg) Huarahi Māori specialisation initial teacher education programme. Through the promotion of ‘inquiry as stance’ (Cochran-Smith & Lytle, 2009) and the use of the ‘teaching as inquiry’ model (MoE, 2007), pouako pīrere are encouraged to inquire into their learning and supported to undertake ongoing examination of their practice. Tauira prepare for their third and final noho-ā-kura during this course. Pakirehua ngaio courses and noho ā–kura courses are closely linked integrative strands of the BEd(Tchg) Huarahi Māori specialisation programme.

The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed for potential plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct, using computerised detection mechanisms.

Class representatives are students tasked with representing student issues to departments, faculties, and the wider university. If you have a complaint about this course, please contact your class rep who will know how to raise it in the right channels. See your departmental noticeboard for contact details for your class reps.
