title: Social Learning: Does cooperation contribute to the learning of the makers?

authors: Fox-Turnbull, Wendy

subjects: collaboration and cooperation

abstract: This chapter explores the scope and nature of social learning evident in the Makerspace movement as identified by the cases studies presented previously. The makerspace movement is clearly situated within a constructionist paradigm, placing the learner centrally in the construction of artefacts. Because of its collaborative nature and the need for learners to become critical thinkers and makers Makerspace is well situated to ensure learners today are equipped with the necessary skills and dispositions essential to life in the 21st century.

This chapter draws on literature on three learning theories particularly relevant to makerspace philosophy. The first, Kolb’s Experiencing Learning theory, providing an excellent mechanism for teaching and learning design-based activities while placing learners at the centre of learning. The second, Social Learning Theory, describes the process of collaborative practice in a common activity with the aim of reaching an intended goal. Bandura suggests that Social Learning theory emphasises synthesis of behavioural events and human cognitive processes. This is relevant to makerspaces through the collaborative nature of design and development of artefacts-technological products and systems. The third theory is Social Partication Theory and draws together both learning through experience and learning socially and is therefore most pertinent to the Makerspace movement as it gives equal emphasis to working collaboratively and learning through doing.

To identify and discuss the scope and nature of social interaction, a modifed version of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory is applied. This Ecological Systems Model is modified to organise a discussion on the social interaction within the Makerspace case studies. Selected for its layering and spheres of influence the model gives a framework for the types of social interaction evidenced in the cases. In this section the cases presented are organised according to The Ecological Systems Model and categories in relation to their influence on learners.

title: Shaping supervision practice through research: Effects of supervision for counselling practice

authors: Crocket, Kathie

subjects: counselling

abstract: That there are links between effective supervision and effective counselling practice tends to be taken for granted. As a contribution to documenting the professional knowledges and experiences that might stand behind the profession’s claims for the benefits of supervision, this study interviewed experienced supervisors, seeking their perspectives on the links between effective supervision and effective counselling practice. Taking a social constructionist approach and showing the processes of knowledge production, researchers then engaged with these supervisors’ perspectives, in a series of reflections. These reflections show how the research interviews contribute to shaping the researchers’ ongoing supervision practice. Areas of interest include the power relation between supervisor and practitioner; responsibilities for monitoring practice; taping; supervisor responsibility for evaluating the effectiveness of supervision, and generativity of practice through storying a practitioner’s values and principles. Questions are offered for readers, too, to engage in a shaping of practice through their own responses to the article.

title: Ko te reo i Te Rarawa: Pēhea rainī te tūāhua reo o ngā mātua tūpuna i Pukepoto

authors: McGrath, Daniel

abstract: Ko te reo Māori, ko te reo ā-iwi, ko te mita o te reo; ko tēhea te mea nui? Mai anō tēnei tohe, ko tēhea ko runga, ko tēhea ko raro. He tinitini nei anō ngā rangahau mō te reo Māori, mō ngā rautaki whakaora i te reo Māori. Erangi pēhea mai ana te reo ā-iwi? I te mahi nui whakaharahara ki te whakaora i te reo Māori e noho ana tērā kaupapa hei aronga matua. E kite mārika ana i ngā hua o aua mahi, hoi anō te reo ā-iwi, te hanga nei, i paria ki rāhaki. Nā, i ngā tau tata nei anō, kua kitea rawatia te wheinu o ngā uri whakaheke, o ngā mokopuna o ngā iwi ki te ako i ō rātou mita, otirā i te reo ā-iwi.
Hoi anō tēnei kaupapa rangahau he mea whakapiripiri ki ngā rangahau mō te reo Māori, waihoki mō te reo ā-iwi. E āta mātai atu ana te titiro ki te reo ake anō o Te Rarawa, otirā ki te reo o ngā kaumātua i noho ai i Pukepoto. Ko ngā whāinga matua o te rangahau kia kitea pēnā rainī he patanga wō te reo i te kāinga ki te mana, ki te ahurea o te tangata, ka tahi. Ka rua, kia huraina mai ai ngā āhuatanga motuhake o te reo o Te Rarawa, otirā, o te reo i Pukepoto. I runga i tērā, ko te pātai matua o te rangahau nei, ko tēnei;
Pēhea hoki nei te tūāhua reo Māori i kōrerohia ai e ngā mātua tūpuna, e ngā wheinga i Pukepoto?
Nā, e tutuki ngā whāinga rangahau, i arohia wētahi rīpene kei te pātaka kōrero o Te Reo Irirangi Māori o Te Hiku o Te Ika e mau nei ngā reo o ngā kaumātua o te kāinga e kōrero ana mō ngā tini āhuatanga e hāngai ana ki ō rātou nā ao. E tāwharautia ana tēnei kaupapa e te Rangahau Kaupapa Māori, ā, ko ngā tikanga, ko ngā kōrero i ahua mai i Te Rarawa i Pukepoto e noho mai ana hei tāhuhu tikanga mōku. Ko ngā taupānga hou kua oti kē nei i a Te Reo Irirangi Māori o Te Hiku o Te Ika hei taputapu e nanao atu ai a hau ki te pātaka kōrero o Te Hiku o Te Ika, e pai ai taku āta wānanga i ngā kupu, i ngā kōrero kei ngā rīpene e mau ana.
Tokowhitu katoa ngā kaumātua i āta arohia e ahau i tēnei rangahau nei, katoa i noho ai i Pukepoto. Ko tāku, he āta whakataringa atu ki wā rātou kōrero, ka āta arotake ai i wētahi kupu, i wētahi kīwaha, i wētahi whakatakotoranga rerenga kōrero i kaha whakahuangia e rātou mā. Kei te puke tuaono te roanga o ngā kōrero mō ngā kitenga o te rangahau; i mārama te kite atu he tini ngā momo kupu, ngā kīwaha me ngā rerenga kōrero he tikanga kē atu wō rātou, he whakamahinga kē anō, ka mutu, arā wētahi kāhore e tino rangona ana i wēnei wā nei. Nō reira, ko tā tēnei rangahau e whai ana kia whakahokia wēnei āhuatanga o te reo ki ngā arero o ngā uri whakaheke o Pukepoto, o Te Rarawa, otirā o Te Hiku o te Ika.
