Indigenous Instructional Strategies and the Curriculum of Secondary General E...YogeshIJTSRD
This study examined the influence of indigenous instructional strategies and the secondary general education curriculum in Mezam Division, Bamenda, North West Region of Cameroon. A descriptive and a cross sectional survey research design with a mixed approach for data collection was used. The sample population was constituted of students and teachers of some selected secondary schools and parents within the Bamenda II, Bamenda III and Tubah sub divisions in Mezam with a sample size of 384 respondents. Data obtained was analysed descriptively and inferentially using cross tabulations, frequencies, percentages and charts. The Chi Square test was used to analyse the lone specific research hypothesis. The aim was to find out the level of significance of responses from the categorical variables in view of the impact of indigenous knowledge to the curriculum of secondary general education. Findings on showed that there is a significant impact of indigenous instructional strategies on the secondary general education curriculum in Cameroon. In conclusion, the introduction of livelihood skills that constitute educational elements of indigenous instructional strategies are worth integrating into the curriculum of secondary general education. Based on the finding, it was recommended that, there is need for the systematization of indigenous instructional strategies so as to ease its exploration and development for educational purposes. There is the need for the modification of the curriculum to suit the economic needs of learners and communities.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. The Philippines is home to
around on
110 Indigenous peoples
communities
Approx. 15 to 20 million in
population
More than 60% in
Mindanao
30% in Luzon
10% in Visayas
While varying in ways
of life and cultural
heritage, they share
similar experiences of
discrimination and
marginalization.

3. In 1997
Philippine government
passed the Indigenous
Peoples Rights Act or
Republic Act 8371 that
recognizes and
protects the rights of
indigenous
communities. Its
effective
implementation,
however, is still to be
seen and asserted by
indigenous
communities.
Ana Marie M. Somora
4. 1980s
The various forms of interventions done by
IPAs and religious congregations were any
or a combination of the ff:
• Teaching basic literacy-numeracy to
children and adults based on mainstream
approaches, methods and content
(BASIC LITERACY)
• Provision of adult-based trainings based
on mainstream approaches and content
(LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION)
• Provision of school supplies,
scholarships, tutorials (SUPPORT TO
ENTER SCHOOL)
• Provision of infrastructure, personnel
(usually lowlander),curriculum evaluation
tools, books and school calendar based
on mainstream education system
(SCHOOL BUILDINGS)
Ana Marie M. Somora
5. Reasons for education
intervention are the ff:
• The need to understand the
system of transacting business
in the marketplace
• The need to read street signs,
newspapers, and legal
documents, and to vote and
participate in activities outside
their communities
• The need for other livelihood
options because the
community’s resource base
(finding employment)
• The need to access health
services, and going to school is
equated with being
‘educated’ and education
means liberation from poverty

6. IP EXPERIENCES IN EDUCATION
• School as a venue of
discrimination
- prejudice
- Financial inadequacy
- Comprehension
difficulties
• Adjustment difficulties

• Graduates or schooled
youth leaving the
community or abusing
the ancestral domain.
• Continued
marginalization of
communities.
• Dying spirit of tribe
Ana Marie M. Somora
8. Culturally-sensitive
educational interventions
1. Indigenized formal education
Use of the local language when
appropriate
(as against the use of Filipino or
English languages as the sole
mediums of instruction)
Discussion of concepts with local
situations or examples (e.g.,
fermentation and wine-making,
counting and simple weaving, etc.)
Inclusion of local knowledge in the
topics (e.g., local identification
system of animals and plants, or
land and water
forms)
Addition of underlying values like identity
and self-determination
Addition of local topics to particular
subjects (e.g., indigenous musical instruments
in music class aside from the usual
instruments taught)
Inclusion of elders or experts from the
community as resource persons for some
topics (e.g., for indigenous musical instruments
or weaving).
9. Indigenized Alternative
Learning Systems
Curriculum
The ALS curriculum is
applied to the indigenous
education programs with
innovations consisting of
the use of indigenous
learning and
teaching techniques (i.e.,
more group work, use of
the outdoors as venues for
lessons) and increased use
of indigenous materials for
teaching
aids.
The Sentrong Paaralan ng mga Agta in
Nakar, Quezon under the support of the
Prelature of Infanta uses this curriculum.
Ana Marie M. Somora
10. Own System
1. The community decides on their
school’s overall direction,
management concerns and key
content that should be part of
the curriculum.
2. While financial resources usually
come from benefactors and/or funding
agencies, the community participates
in the setting-up of the school and
provides counterpart resources for the
construction of school facilities like
labor, food, construction materials.
3. Local materials are used in setting
up the facilities, like grass for roofing,
etc.
4. The architecture of the school
building
is patterned after the indigenous
architecture
in the community
5. The management of the school includes
the local organization of the tribe or community
6. Community disciplinary procedures are
used in maintaining discipline among the students
7. Indigenous teachers are prioritized in
selecting teachers
8. The curriculum design is based on the flow of
community life in such a way that topics are discussed
in direct relation to community activity cycles
11. 9. Some communities modify the school calendar
(without decreasing the required number of
school days) to take into consideration local
climate patterns, thus avoiding absences due to
rains, flooded rivers, etc.
10. Indigenous materials are used as teaching
aids as appropriate
11. Indigenous teaching and learning methods
are incorporated as teaching methods.
12. An education system
appropriate to
indigenous communities
Philosophy
To instill mainstream
competencies and learning
processes, and getting them
assimilated in mainstream
society, the end goals now
are to nurture their sense of
identity/indigenous
personhood and instill
competencies and learning
processes both from their
system and the mainstream
to enable them to assert
their rights and self
determination.
To reach these goals, indigenous peoples
education should be founded on the following:
• CULTURE (as process and product)
• HISTORY (life-stories woven into the
tribe’s story, woven into the bigger story
of nation and the world)
• HERITAGE (a sense of being a descendant
and ancestor)
• SPIRITUALITY (expression of faith life,
values and beliefs).
13. Teaching and learning
processes
Revealed knowledge
(dreams, etc.),
ancestral domain, and
elders as teachers
Tribal language
Community teaching-
learning processes
complemented by
mainstream ones.
14. The Indigenous Peoples
Education System
• Indigenous communities have a system of
education
Each tribe in the country has a system
that started since time immemorial of transmitting
knowledge and forming the youth to become
responsible human beings.
• Learning is everywhere and at every
moment.
This similar to the ‘lifelong learning’
concept in education circles today. This
indigenous education system that has been
practiced for centuries has to be recalled by
indigenous communities.
In some tribes, learning venues or institutions
are also present like the dap-ay (for
males) and ulog (for females). These are
venues for youth to gather and, in interaction
with the elders, learn about community
dynamics and practices
15. Indigenous Peoples have a
curriculum too
The indigenous peoples
have a sequence
of content and
competencies to be
taught
based on the stage of
growth of the person.
Indigenous education
therefore has a
curriculum, which varies
depending on the
situation of the tribe.
16. Indigenous books and
knowledge storage
system
• The elders are the repository of knowledge. Their
memory is the library of indigenous communities
• knowledge is also stored in songs, chants,
dances, rituals, and day-to-day activities of the
tribe
• day-to-day living and the cycle of life of the
community was the ultimate repository of
knowledge, for it was in living the knowledge
that its remembrance and storage were
ensured.
• Another repository of knowledge is called
cellular memory (One example is the
competency, which
evolved through the centuries of making rice
• terraces, of indigenous communities of the
Cordillera mountains)
”This is a natural competency among the members of the
indigenous community that cannot be taught in any Master’s
or PhD course anywhere in the world. It can only be learned
by being part of the ancestry (blood) and living in and
working in the ancestral domain so that this competency
(which includes psycho-emotional components) is nurtured
and practiced.”
17. Evaluating learning –
Indigenous Peoples
have exams too
The elders see application of
knowledge
as the test in itself, with the
outcome being the indicator of
degree of knowledge gained.
Depending on the tribe, there
are indicators
of mastery. The part of the body
hit by a trap, for example, shows
how skillful a Mangyan hunter is
in making the trap. Another
indicator of learning was the
capacity to teach others. Some
tribes have titles for the experts
in their communities equivalent
to today’s Master’s and PhD
degrees.
18. Teaching-learning
strategies
Among tribes, there
are some common
teaching-learning
strategies such as
demonstration,
actual activity,
apprenticeship (for
specialized roles like
healers and shamans),
and direct
instruction.
19. The key concerns on
Indigenous Peoples
education
• There is a need to
consciously affirm indigenous
peoples’ sense of
personhood and reflection.
Learning indigenous
competencies does not
necessarily translate
into a deep sense of
indigenous peoples’
identity.
• The indigenous communities
recognize the need to
document IKSPs that are
almost forgotten.
20. CONCLUSION
Culture is at the core of
being human, an
expression of how we
have encountered God
through life questions. It
contains the blessings or
graces of God to a people
which, if nurtured well,
make us able to share
these blessings and
graces with
each other. In the case of
our indigenous brothers
and sisters, they have
shared their blessings
with us but were abused,
neglected and ridiculed in
return.
We hope to continue journeying with
our indigenous brothers and sisters as
they articulate and define an education
system that will once again nurture
their tribe, communities and culture,
before it is too late.

Editor's Notes
Very common interventions were basic literacy-numeracy and scholarships. In the later years, the communities themselves started to request for education interventions because of the following commonly cited reasons:
The need to understand the system of transacting business in the marketplace (which were different from indigenous communities’ system of economic calculations and barter) because of the rampant cheating they experienced
• The need to read street signs, newspapers, and legal documents, and to vote and participate in activities outside their communities
• The need for other livelihood options because the community’s resource base (such as farmland) has been exploited by others (for logging, mining, plantations, etc); exploring other livelihood options means interacting with the enlarging national economy, thus the need for trainings to familiarize them with this arena; others found schooling necessary to be able to find employment
• The need to access health services, and going to school is equated with being ‘educated’ and education means liberation from poverty.
Graduates of indigenous communities were viewed as success stories both by the communities and the congregations or IPAs, and these graduates learned, as individuals, how to navigate their way in the wider social demands of mainstream society. The backdrop, however, of these few success stories was the reality of as much bigger number of drop-outs because of
the following:
• Comprehension difficulties
• Adjustment difficulties
• Discrimination.
In the case of
shoes, this is something that some indigenous
children are not used to. Not wearing shoes
became a mark of being an indigenous person
and a source of discrimination
These indelible experiences of indigenous
students in the mainstream school system have the following impacts at the individual level:
Broken intergenerational ties. Learning from school that indigenous peoples’ ways are backward, indigenous youth consequently
view elders as backward or inferior since they are the living memories of these life-ways. This is manifested in the youth’s
disrespect and sometimes blatant disregard of the elders, resulting in broken intergenerational ties. Since schooled youth have
been observed to be close-minded or distant, elders have also become silent, to the point that in some communities elders feel and
accept that they have no place or have lost their roles in the community.
Realizing the need to address the adverse
impact of mainstream education system on
the indigenous communities, some IPAs and
religious congregations started in the 1980s to
introduce culturally-sensitive educational interventions.
At present, more culturally-sensitive
educational interventions have been introduced
that are classified into
This approach is employed in areas where the formal school setting is not applicable and appropriate (e.g., areas where the school is being
introduced for the first time or is quite far from the town proper), or the communities have decided to design their own school set-up in response to the painful impacts discussed earlier. In these initiatives, some of the innovations are
the following:
To further specify what the key components
of an education system appropriate to indigenous
communities are, IPAs and their partner
communities consolidated common and fundamental
viewpoints and principles shared by
their efforts and expressed them in relation to
five components of an education system. This
was done during the 2nd National Convention
on Indigenous Peoples Education attended by
twenty-seven dioceses and sixteen tribes. The
five components discussed were: education philosophy,
curriculum and evaluation processes,
teaching-learning processes, instructional setup,
and school management.
During the 2nd National IP Education Convention in May 2007, the reports on key findings of case studies done in four areas inthe country significantly articulated what the indigenous education system was. The following are the key points shared so far:
Each tribe in the country has a system
that started since time immemorial of transmitting
knowledge and forming the youth to
become responsible human beings.
Indigenous Knowledge Sytem
Sometimes we ask, what is so importantabout culture? Why should we, like our indigenous sisters and brothers, be so assertive about
it? It is not just because of its aesthetic value, or its uniqueness or the economics of it. Culture
is at the core of being human, an expression of how we have encountered God through life questions.
It contains the blessings or graces of God to a people which, if nurtured well, make
us able to share these blessings and graces with each other. In the case of our indigenous brothers
and sisters, they have shared their blessings with us but were abused, neglected and ridiculed
in return. We hope to continue journeying with our indigenous brothers and sisters as they articulate and define an education system that will once again nurture their tribe, communities and culture, before it is too late
