MAORIHTH 709
: Transformational Research for Māori Health2022 Semester Two (1225)
Provides a critical analysis of research and research processes with regard to their potential to colonise or liberate. Drawing on Kaupapa Māori Theory, the course examines how research can be undertaken in ways that are safe for Māori and that contribute to positive Māori development.
Prerequisite: MAORIHTH 710 and 15 points from POPLHLTH 701, 702, 767

MAORIHTH 710
: Kaupapa Māori Theory2022 Semester One (1223)
Kaupapa Māori Theory (KMT) underpins a range of approaches employed to ensure policy, research and intervention processes emphasise Māori ways of knowing and being and work to prevent the further marginalisation of Māori. Students learn about the development of KMT and its use in the context of Māori health and development, and will experience and learn from a range of initiatives and projects that have KMT at their core.

What is Mathematics Education research, and how can it inform practice? This course introduces a range of skills and methods for conducting and critically consuming research in mathematics education. Students will explore issues and techniques in Mathematics Education research as they design their own research studies to inform their teaching and learning practice.
Prerequisite: MATHS 302 or significant teaching experience or department approval
734
