    He ipu whakairo-- inscribing peace, knowledge and understanding : new/beginning social science teachers' delivery of Treaty of Waitangi and citizenship education in New Zealand secondary schools : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Māori Studies at Massey University, Palmerston North, Aotearoa New Zealand

    This thesis examines new/beginning social science teachers’ delivery of Treaty of Waitangi and citizenship education in New Zealand secondary schools. A lack of education about the Treaty and New Zealand citizenship has seen poor understanding amongst our citizenry about the Treaty, race and ethnicity in Aotearoa New Zealand. Research conducted with six new/beginning Maori and non-Maori social science teachers explored, from their perspective, their ability to deliver Treaty and citizenship education based on their teacher training, the New Zealand Curriculum, teaching resources, and their professional development. Moteatea and whakatauaki, critical consciousness and critical education formed a theoretical base for this work. Individual semi-structured in-depth interviews and thematic analysis were utilized to collect and analyse data, observing Durie’s (1998) ethical framework on ‘mana’. Research findings revealed that Treaty education receives little attention in schools, and teachers, little support to deliver it. For example, although specified within the Curriculum as a learning subject as well as a principle for schools, teachers reported they received no guidance on how to deliver education on the Treaty and were unable to identify how it translated into classroom or school-wide practices. He ipu whakairo, a ‘vessel to be carved’, emphasises the inscribing of peace, new knowledge and understanding in our society that is to be had from a renewed emphasis on Treaty of Waitangi and citizenship education in our secondary schools. From new/beginning teachers’ aspirations for greater support in their Treaty and citizenship teaching, the recommendations from this research provide a solid platform for future development in this area.

    Nō roto i ēneki tau tata nei kua kaha kē atu te pihi ake o te pūkōnohinohi a ētahi kia whakamāuitia ō rātau tūreo ā-iwi, otirā, kia mōhiotia tō rātau iwitanga i tō rātau reo. Hoi anō, tēraka hoki ētahi e whakapae ana he nenekara noa te whakamāui i ēneki reo, ā, me mātua aro kē tātau ki te whakamāui i te reo Māori whānui. Ko tā tēneki rangahau he urupare i ētahi o ngā urupounamu kua pihi ake i ēneki take, i ēneki whakataunga e hāngai ana ki te tūreo o Tūhoe. Mātua o ēneki urupounamu ko ēneki nā, he aha tēneki reo te tūreo o Tūhoe?, he wāhi nui tonu ōna mō ōna uri, haere ake nei?, he aha ōna āhuatanga kua rerekē i roto i ngā tau? Hai āpititanga atu ki ēneki urupounamu, i te nui o ngā uri o Tūhoe kai tawhiti i ōna maunga, ka uia anō te urupounamu, me pēhea e ora ai te tūreo o Tūhoe i ngā kāinga ōna kai tawhiti i ōna maunga? Hai urupare i ēneki urupounamu i nanaioretia ngā ariā Kaupapa Māori, Tūhoetanga me te rangatiratanga hai tūāpapa mōna. Ka mutu, i nanaioretia ngā tikanga pūrākau hai uiui i ētahi pākeke o Tūhoe i pakeke ake i roto i tēraka reo me tētahi whānau kai tawhiti i ōna maunga. Me te aha ko ngā kai i hua ake i ēneki nohonga tahitanga e aronui ana ki 1) te hira o te tūreo o Tūhoe ki ōna uri, 2) ōna motuhaketanga, 3) te tipu o tēneki tūreo, otirā, 4) te wāhi ki te tūreo ā-iwi me te reo Māori, haere ake nei. Hai āpititanga atu, ko ngā kōrero mō ngā rautaki whakamāui i te reo whānui me te tūreo ā-iwi i ōna kāinga maha, ahakoa tata, ahakoa tawhiti.
