Based on extensive interviews with 21 individuals, this book allows
us to listen to M?ori from Northland recall the mid-20th century
rural world in which they grew up. Metge's work tackles important
questions about M?ori teaching and learning: What was the role of
whanau and hapu, household and marae, kaumatua and siblings, work
and play in learning? How much learning was practical and how much
by teaching? Metge shows that M?ori ways of learning flourished
alongside the school system in rural Northland and that those
educational practices had a particular form and philosophy. M?ori
focused on learning by doing, teaching in context, learning in a
group, memorising, and advancement when ready. M?ori of rural
Northland imparted cultural knowledge as well as practical skills
through daily life and storytelling, in whanau and community
activities. Under achievement of M?ori children in state schools is
often attributed to deficiencies in the children's home
environment. Joan Metge presents a different view. She introduces
readers to M?ori methods of teaching and learning that are rich in
lessons for us all.
