title: Primary connections: Simulating the classroom in initial teacher education

authors: Hume, Anne Christine

subjects: primary science teacher education

abstract: The challenge of preparing novice primary teachers for teaching in an educational environment, where science education has low status and many teachers have limited science content knowledge and lack the confidence to teach science, is great. This paper reports on an innovation involving a sustained simulation in an undergraduate science education course as a mediational tool to connect two communities of practice—initial teacher education and expert primary science teaching. The course lecturer and student teachers role-played the expert classroom teacher and primary students (Years 7/8) respectively in an attempt to gain insights into teaching and learning through authentic activity that models good practice in primary science teaching and learning. Activity theory was used to help frame and analyse the data. Findings from the first trial indicate that the simulation was very effective in initiating science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) development of primary student teachers.

title: Heterosexual ally identity development for the non-heterosexual community

authors: Nicholls, Rawiri Rangihouhiri Terrence

subjects: Heterosexual Ally Identity Development

abstract: This thesis is an examination of the significance that both the development of heterosexual and non-heterosexual identity plays in the perceptions of the development of an individual’s identity labels, privilege, oppression, and sexuality. Firstly, through an extensive literature review, and secondly through an analysis of an in-depth survey which not only was advertised to those who self-identify as heterosexual but also to those who identify within other non-heterosexual identities.

This thesis will provide an examination of the complicated process of identity development for both the heterosexual and non-heterosexual communities with a focus on the development of heterosexual allies for the non-heterosexual community.

Heterosexual identity is often thought to be unmoving in nature however heterosexual identity, much like non-heterosexual identity, contains movement through statuses as the individual not only gains an understanding of their own heterosexual identity but also of alternatives.

The results of some of the key identity theorists of the last century will be reviewed, as well as the relationship that social constructs, societal attitudes, and Heterosexism play in the creation of heterosexual allies for the non-heterosexual community.

I propose that to understand the creation and development of heterosexual allies for the non-heterosexual community there must not only be a development in the way in which non-heterosexual identity development is researched but also in the way in which heterosexual identity is also developed.

I also propose that heterosexual allies of the non-heterosexual community play an integral part in the way that society combats not only Heterosexism but also in the way that society gains a better understanding of what it means to be heterosexual. As society gains a more developed interpretation of the negative effects that Heterosexism has on the non-heterosexual community, research associated with the development of allyship towards the non-heterosexual community will continue to not only develop but also become more accurate.

title: In your face: wearing Moko - Maori facial marking in today's world

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

subjects: Moko

abstract: The early voyagers, missionaries, settlers all reacted to the pukanohi, to the marked
faces of the Maori people during the period of first contact, and the century following
it. Their accounts are vivid, judgemental, revealing, telling us as much about them, as
it does about the people they described. Curiosity and horror are mixed with a
genuine fascination; where sternly evangelizing words failed, armed confrontation
occurred; and we now live with the results, te ao hou, a new world.
In this world, today, wahine mau kauae, tangata mau moko, pukanohi - wearers - are
speaking for themselves, about themselves, and commenting on how others view
them. Unanimously, they insist the decision to take the marking is about continuity,
affirmation, identity, and commitment. It is also about wearing those ancestors,
carrying them into the future; as their moko become a companion, a salient being with
its own life force, its own integrity and power, beyond the face.
