Pedagogy

This study looks at the impact of learning from place on young Aboriginal students’ sense of engagement as they study mathematics.

The Association of Canadian Deans of Education (ACDE) brings together deans, directors and chairs of education in Canadian universities and colleges. In 2010, members of ACDE adopted this accord, with the vision of creating respectful learning environments, developing inclusive curricula, and recognizing and promoting Indigenous knowledge in education.

The author begins with a discussion of the social and educational problems facing Canada’s Aboriginal people. He argues that Canadians can learn a great deal from the experiences of the indigenous people of other countries, particularly the Maori of New Zealand.

What follows is a bibliographic review of the author's online and print based articles and book chapters from 1993-2004 on various facets of the pedagogy, politics, and science of adult literacy education.
