Completing the Dreaming - Aboriginal & White Australian Teachers' Perceptions of Education - (5.4mb)
Author: Neil Holm
A 1983 study of indigenous and non-indigenous teachers in an Aboriginal pre-school. Culturally-shared meanings that guided their teaching behaviour and pedagogy are reported. Differences in pedagogy were observed in language use, disciplining, playing, responding to children, working with puzzles, and in perception of school. Cultural themes of completeness and incompleteness were used to interpret these differences. Aboriginal teachers regarded reality and hence children as complete, while non-indigenous teachers regarded them as incomplete.
