dc.description.abstractThere has been a long standing issue in mainstream schools throughout New Zealand in regards to Maori students underachieving academically. Numerous efforts have been made by The Ministry of Education over successive years to combat this problem. A series of strategies ensued focusing on supporting, adapting and improving various related areas of the education system in order to cater better to its Maori students learning needs. This study sets out to explore the notion that there exists a prescription to Maori academic success. Not in a clinical sense but rather the unique characteristics, attributes and innate qualities found in successful Maori academics. It is anticipated that the revelation of certain attribute consistency will contribute to the overall outcomes of this study. This study explored the experiences of Maori tertiary students, and the essential elements of their educational lives that are related to their success in mainstream education. The study focussed on what was and is currently working for academically successful Maori as a basis for new perspectives in regards to Maori academic success. The study was underpinned by a contextualised theory of seven categories representing commonalities found within each of the participants that contributed to their educational experiences. Five of these categories were intangible, human qualities that each participant possessed while the remaining two categories were found to reside in their surrounding environments. These results show that the foundations to a potential formula for Maori academic success can be found dwelling within the individuals who are undertaking a journey to find success in education.en_US
