title: Te Puni Rumaki – Strengthening Māori medium initial teacher education

authors: Tamatea, Karaitiana

abstract: The delivery of initial teacher education for Māori medium contexts in Aotearoa seeks to support the revitalization of the indigenous language and practices in collaboration with the current education system. This presentation introduces a research project begun early in 2013 with providers, student teachers, schools and communities involved in respective Māori medium programmes. This research project has a "positive output approach" where fundamental elements to the success of these various programmes are shared. The wide range of Māori medium initial teacher education settings is investigated. Consequences from the research findings will also be discussed.

title: Four decades after a ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’: An update on professional psychology programme responsiveness to Indigenous Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand

authors: Waitoki, Waikaremoana

abstract: I te tau 1987, i whakaputaina e Max Abbott raua ko Mason Durie te pepa, 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' i tiro whanui ai i nga taunakitanga mo te mahi whakatuanui ahurea tahi (te arotuapori rato) i waenga i nga hotaka whakangungu kia huri te akonga hei kaimatai hinengaro rehita. E wha nga ngahurutau (2023) i muri mai, ka taruatia e matou te rangahau, a, i tonoa nga kaihautu hotaka (n = 15) kia whakahoki korero mai mo nga kaimahi o te hotaka; nga ranga tohutohu Maori; nga akonga o te hotaka; me nga kaupapa ako o te hotaka. I whakaaturia e nga tatari whakataurite te whakapiki ake o nga nama o nga kaiako Maori, nga kaupapa aronga Maori, me te whakapumautanga o nga hononga ki nga ranga tohutohu Maori. Heoi ano, ko te nuinga o nga kaihautu i whakapuaki mai i nga awangawanga mo te iti haere o nga akonga Maori e tono ana ki nga hotaka ngaio. Ko ta matou rangahau e miramira nei, ahakoa nga whakapikinga, na nga tauarai mauroa i whakaaweawe ai nga urupare whai tikanga ki Te Tiriti o Waitangi i nga wahi katoa o te akoranga.

In 1987, Max Abbott and Mason Durie published the 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' paper that outlined evidence of monocultural (Eurocentric) dominance within training programmes to become a registered psychologist. Four decades (2023) later we replicated the study and invited programme directors (n = 15) to comment on programme staff; Maori advisory bodies; programme students; and programme content. Comparative analyses revealed improvements in the number of Maori teaching staff, Maori-focused content, and established links with Maori advisory bodies. However, most directors (77%) expressed concerns about the limited number of Maori students applying to the professional programmes. Our study highlights that despite improvements, ongoing barriers impact meaningful responses to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all areas of the discipline.

title: An evaluation of planning frameworks for sustainable community development in the context of the Peacocke project, Hamilton

authors: Edwards, Katherine

subjects: community development

abstract: Numerous planning frameworks have emerged over the past decades to inform decisions about the design and development of sustainable communities, raising questions about which framework to use within which context. Different frameworks are informed by various definitions and perceptions of what makes a sustainable development and what a ‘sustainable community’ or development looks like. 
This thesis examines and evaluates two sustainability planning frameworks, the food-energy-water nexus (FEW) framework and the Green Star Communities framework, through a case study assessment of the Peacocke development in Hamilton, New Zealand. It asks, what are the diverse perspectives on creating sustainable urban communities in the context of the Peacocke development in Hamilton, and are the FEW nexus and the Green Star frameworks relevant and useful planning tools for sustainable community development in New Zealand? It analyses the potential of these frameworks to shape urban sustainable development and sustainable communities within the context of the Peacocke development. 
The case study involved in-depth interviews with planning officials and urban development-focussed community groups about the Peacocke development, and revealed diverse perspectives on meanings of sustainability related to new housing subdivisions. The analysis allowed a comparative assessment of the two sustainable development frameworks and their potential to inform sustainable community design. It highlights the importance of competing framings and values of society related to development and sustainability, imaginaries of sustainable community design, and the importance of strong government regulations.
