This document is a literature review examining whether reciprocal teaching could benefit adolescent Maori learners in New Zealand secondary schools. Reciprocal teaching is an instructional approach designed to strengthen reading comprehension. The review explores what research says about adolescents and reading in secondary schools, best practices for teaching Maori students, and how reciprocal teaching aligns with these. It aims to determine if reciprocal teaching would be a significant strategy to implement across content areas to support literacy achievement for both adolescents and Maori students.

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.

The aim of this study is to explore the Islamic culture in English for Islamic Studies (EIS) classroom. In the course of EIS, the priority should not only be given to increase international understanding by enabling the students to speak another language but also understanding the cultural values. The study conducted an exploratory approach in which data were collected through in-depth interviews with English lecturers, and a questionnaire was distributed to the Islamic education students. The findings identified Islamic education has included EIS as part of its curriculum in its current advancement. In this regards, the study showed that how EIS in Indonesia has developed, what challenges it experiences and what opportunities it possesses in the context of Islamic higher education in Indonesia. The implications of the study provide a number of valuable insights into the expectations of EIS classroom. It is expected that the Muslim students could both achieve the foreign language skills and, the same time, become more aware filtering the culture, which is irrelevant with theirs, contained in the foreign language they are learning. The results of this study also indicated that EIS in Indonesia needs to incorporate Islamic values and show that EIS learning put no threats and negative influences on Indonesian culture in general and Islamic religious values in particular
The Bridging Process: Filipino Teachers’ View on Mother TongueRSIS International
This paper recognized that teachers play the main
element in the success of the new language policy, the Mother
Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in the
Philippines. Their views as implementer on this approach are
essential in the attainment of the MTB-MLE objectives. In this
descriptive paper, the authors report a comprehensive account of
the 35 teachers’ perception on the efficiency and effectiveness of
MTB approach in teaching at Malvar Central School, Batangas,
Philippines for the school year 2016-2017. Using adopted
questionnaire, needed data were gathered and statistically
treated. The study found out that the respondents moderately
perceived mother tongue- based approach as effective and
efficient in achieving learning goals. The implications of these

This study was intended to depict how Critical Literacy Pedagogy (CLP) principles were incorporated in EFL reading class in Indonesian secondary school and the students’ Critical Thinking (CT) were fostered during learning process. This study was a classroom practice-based model of how the principles were transferred into the detailed teaching syntax in an Islamic senior high school in West Java Indonesia. As a case study elaborating how a phenomenon happened, this study explored teaching steps, teacher-students dialogues, questions and the way the questions posed reflecting students’ CT skills, and students’ engagement in the learning process. The use of Indonesian folklores containing controversy predicted to enable students develop their thinking skills became novelty of the study. In addition, three times interventions were designed in which each intervention consisted of (a) teaching critical thinking concept explicitly and implicitly, (b) seven steps of teaching reading procedure incorporating CLP principles (explaining author’s purpose, activating students’ prior knowledge, reading text loudly, discussing text in group, exploring the text in class activities in which Critical Literacy Questions and CT Questions are incorporated, answering comprehension questions in group, and reflection, and (c) CT skills discussion. This study provides an alternative model of teaching CT in Indonesia context.
Curriculum Content and the Issue of Relevance in the 21st Century ClassroomSubmissionResearchpa
The need to make curriculum content relevant so that learners can apply what they learned in school upon graduation, has been emphasized. Issues bothering on curriculum content, philosophy of pragmatism, 21st-century classroom, and relevance have been highlighted in this paper. It was recommended that: All stakeholders in education - teachers, school administrators, the government should adapt to changes that the 21st Century presents particularly in the area of technological advancements; For the fact that knowledge can quickly become obsolete in this era, learners should be equipped with problem-solving skills so that they will be able to face a contemporary problem; Curriculum content should be made relevant to the extent that what learners learn will be useful to them in their day-to-day activities. by Marilyn U.

The history learning module integrated character values is an innovation in history learning in schools to support educational progress. This module serves as teaching material for the process of character formation of students obtained through independent learning to achieve the desired competency goals. This research uses the development (R&D) of the 4D model (define, design, development and dissemination). The results showed that the module was declared feasible based on the results of the validation of the experts, so the modules that had been developed were feasible, effective and practical to be used as teaching materials and learning resources by students in the history learning process. This module has the advantage that there are character values (love of the motherland, curiosity, religious and tolerance) in the material presented for the formation of students' character.

TEFL students face socio-cultural and cognitive development constraints effecting second language acquisition. The basis for the workshop is an eight-week project conducted in a TEFL setting (small Japanese Embassy school) in the Middle East. Findings from the research identified a link between the factors of performance in front of the ethnic community, ownership and co-construction of the task, relevance age appropriateness of the task in increasing language learning motivation. The content of the workshop dealt with differences between lower and upper primary, implementation of learning strategies, learning styles, cultural identity, deconstruction of games and activities based on cognitive variance and multimodal lesson design. Moreover, consciousness was raised regarding issues such as; difference between proficiency level and developmental level, types of language skills and when to implement them in the lesson and group dynamics.
Effect of Teachers’ Competence in English Phonology on Reading Ability among ...paperpublications3
Abstract: Good performance in English opens doors to many lucrative careers locally and internationally. Teaching reading and success in reading ability is therefore important for young learners. However, the ability for teachers to teach reading is not well documented. Little research has been conducted on teachers’ competence and attitudes towards reading ability among learners at preschool level. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of teachers’ competence on reading ability among pre-school children in Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya. The theory of planned behaviour and education production function theory guided the study. The study employed the mixed methods approach. An explanatory research design was used. The target population was all the 1252 pre-school teachers in Elgeyo Marakwet County Kenya. Multistage random sampling technique was used to select the participating schools and individual teachers. A sample size of 294 schools was used. The instruments utilised were questionnaires, and observation schedules. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that there are more female pre-school teachers than male. It was also found that most of the pre-school teachers were inexperienced. Results indicated that the teachers’ competency in English phonology was below average. The study results indicated that the pre-school children reading ability was poor. Teacher competency in English phonology was found to have a positive significant effect on reading ability of pre-school children (β= .307, p<0.05). The study concluded that pre-school teaching is a gendered profession characterized by low competency in English phonology. It was also concluded that teacher competency in English phonology has a bearing on the reading ability of pre-school children. The study therefore recommended that pre-school teachers be trained to improve their competency in English phonology as to improve the reading ability of pre-school children.

The Effectiveness of Thematic Teaching Approach on Developing Reading Skills ...paperpublications3
Abstract: Thematic teaching approach is a strategy which connects all subject areas using a common theme hence making learning integrated and meaningful. The purpose or this study was to investigate the effectiveness of thematic teaching approach on developing reading skills among preschoolers in Manga Sub-County, Nyamira County, Kenya. The target population for the study included 120 ECDE teachers and 800 preschoolers. The study used cluster and simple random sampling techniques in obtaining a sample size of 36 pre-unit teachers and 240 preschoolers. Data was collected by means of questionnaires and observation checklists. The findings indicated that thematic teaching approach was the common approach which was used to develop reading skill among pre-school children. The study also found that pre-schools in which their ECDE teachers always used thematic approach to develop reading skills performed relatively better than those where teachers rarely or never used the approach. However, reading skills still remained below average. Findings of this study could help Kenyan pre-school teachers to evaluate their instructional practices in the teaching of reading and also aid the Ministry of Education to carry out in-service training courses on appropriate methodology in developing reading skills in pre-school children.
21st Century Pedagogy: Transformational Approachijtsrd
Pedagogies are constantly evolving and great emphasis has been laid on the teachers to use effective teaching strategies and method to improve students' achievement. That is why pedagogy is one of the important factors that need to revisit in order to maximize the attainment of educational objectives. Based on the data gathered, technology in the classroom, differentiated instruction and student centered approach should be adapted and modeled across the country to elevate and nourish the capability of the students to go beyond limitation. Further, the way students learn and comprehend have change dramatically educators must also evolve from traditional way to 21st century way of teaching. Novelita T. Bornea | Ma. Georgina B.

Educators’ perceptions of inclusive education for learners with physical disa...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: While the practice of inclusive education has recently been widely embraced as an ideal model
for education, the acceptance of inclusive education practices has not translated into reality in most mainstream
classrooms. Even though education policies in South Africa stipulate that all learners should be provided with
the opportunities to participate as far as possible in all classroom activities, the implementation of inclusive
education is still hampered by a combination of a lack of resources and the attitudes and actions of the educators
in the classroom. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a deeper understanding of educators' personal
understanding of the barriers to learning and how their understanding relates to their consequent actions to
implement inclusive education in mainstream classrooms. A qualitative research approach was used to establish
their perspectives and to frame questions regarding their perceptions and understanding. The findings, in this
paper, indicate that the way in which educators understand the diversity of learning needs is based on the
training that they received, which focused on a deficit, individualised approach to the barriers that encounter
learning and development.

IDENTIFYING LOCAL WISDOM IN ANTI-CORRUPTION EDUCATION OF MALANG'S ELEMENTARY ...dunianyamaya
There are very few discussions on instructional communication analysis or known as education communication focusing on anti-corruption and local wisdom. Instructional communication may become preventive solution to prevent corruption. The study discusses local wisdom-based anti-corruption instructional communication. Local wisdom becomes the focus of the study since culture acts as facilitator for internalization of anti-corruption principles. Malang is selected as the setting as the study due to its “arek” tradition. “Arek” tradition is transparent, straightforward and assertive; these are relevant to the principles of anti-corruption. The objective of the study was to identify local wisdom in anti-corruption education. The study was explorative qualitative and the method was focus group discussion. The subjects were teachers in SDN 2 Dinoyo Malang, SD Sang Timur Malang, and SD Insan Amanah Malang. These three elementary schools were selected as the setting because they have different religious orientation. The basis for selecting these schools was to describe different integration of the local wisdom and religious orientation each of the schools have. The findings stated that local wisdom had yet been utilized to facilitate the anticorruption education. Local wisdom was considered as government education embedded in the school activities. Some schools applied the program as a whole while some others were selective towards the program. Based on the findings, anti-corruption principles were embedded through religious and moral values that worked in the society.

Introduction
The

of
adolescent

in

are
inclusive
of
political,
socio-‐
economic
and
pedagogical
changes
(Titter,
2014).
In
the
New

Curriculum
(Ministry
of
Education,
2007),
literacy
skills
and
knowledge
are
central
to
all
learning
areas.
How
literacy
should
be
taught
in
secondary
schools
and
what
it
means
to
be
a
literate
adolescent
have
not
been
universally
defined.
However,
PISA
has
defined
literacy
as
the
progressive
acquisition
of
“an
expanding
set
of
knowledge
skills
and
strategies”
and
reading
as
the
ability
to
“understand,
use
and
reflect
on
written
text”
(OECD,
2003,
p.
108).
There
is
general
consensus
that,
with
increased
content
complexity
throughout
the
secondary
school
levels,
in
combination
with
specialised
vocabulary,
unfamiliar

and
sizeable
quantities
of

adolescents
must

in

Although

the

as
indicated
by
the

in
the

of

(OECD,

it
would
be

Given

whether

The

Adolescent
Literacy
Learning
in
Secondary
Schools
There
is
expanding
recognition
of
the
need
to
focus
attention
on
the
literacy
needs
of
adolescents
(Snow
&
Moje,
2010),
particularly
reading.
Instructional
reading
is
not
a
curriculum
subject
in
secondary
where
“reading
is
assumed
to
be
mastered
prior
to
entering
high
school”
(Harris,
Marchand–Martella
&
Martella,
2009,
p.
22).
Snow
&
Moje’s
(2010)
“inoculation
fallacy”,
that
good
teaching
in
primary
inoculates
students
by
enabling
them
to
be
good
readers
throughout
their
schooling
is
a
misconception
which
may
have
assisted
secondary
content
teachers’
resistance
in
integrating
literacy
instruction
into
their
curriculum
areas
(O’Brien
&
Stewart,
1990;
O’Brien
et
al.,
1995).
A
number
of
approaches
have
been
developed
in
response
to
a
recognised
need
to
develop
secondary
teacher
capability
in
teaching
literacy
in
New
Zealand.
Some
developments
were
aligned
with
reciprocal
teaching
principles:
for
example,
the
2003
Secondary
Literacy
Project,
which
was
set
up
to
improve
comprehension
strategy
instruction
across
the
content
areas,
and
the
inclusion
of
cognitive
elements
such
as
goal
setting
(McDonald,
Thornley,
Cirixia,
Behumi,
&
Staley,
2011).
An
emphasis
on
trying
to
meet
the
needs
of
Maori
learners
occurred
through
emphasising
culturally
responsive
pedagogy,
which
was
tailored
to
encourage
the
engagement
of
Maori
students,
such
as
the
Te
Kotahitanga
Project
(Bishop,
Berryman,
Tiakiwai,
&
Richardson,
2003).
An
attempt
to
meet
the
demands
of
literacy
across
the
curriculum
for
adolescents
was
piloted
as
the
Secondary
School’s
Literacy
Leadership
professional
development
Initiative
(Ministry
of
Education,
2008).
The

developing
increased

recognised
by
Elish-‐Piper
and
Tatum
(2006)
who
have
stated
that
views
are
often
ignored
when
planning
for
effective
literacy
instruction.
Although
reciprocal
teaching
research
has
been
conducted
successfully
in
a
number
of
New
Zealand
secondary
contexts,
for
example,
Westera’s
(2002)
study
of
the
inclusive
aspects
of
RT
and
Titter’s
(2014)
mixed
methods
intervention
researching
reading
comprehension
in
terms
of
attributional
views
and
RT,
there
are
limited
examples
of
secondary
schools
where
RT
has
been
practised
regularly.
The
most
impressive
and
comprehensive
RT
study
in
adolescent
comprehension
achievement
in
New
Zealand
to
date
has
been
Smith’s
programme
for
a
cohort
of
Year
9
students
who
made
significant
gains
in
the
deeper
features
of
reading
(cited
in
BES,
4,
2012).
After
numerous
interventions,
a
question
arises
in
regard
to
literacy
practice
in
secondary
schools:
to
what
extent
are
students
being
taught
and
scaffolded
explicitly
through
the
increasingly
complex,
abstract
and
sophisticated
texts
they
encounter?
Chall
(1983)
noted
that
reading
demands
dramatically
increase
as
students’
learning
begins
to
rely
more
heavily
on
textbooks.
The
reliance
on
text
and
knowledge-‐driven
processes
requires
performance
cognisance
and
the
application
of
flexible,
intentional
strategies
for
comprehension.
Brown
and
Palincsar’s
(1989)
RT
studies
demonstrated
that
students’
understanding
of
texts
could
be
enhanced
and
made
intentional
through
explicit
instructional
intervention.
Research
however
indicates
that
in
most
high
schools
instruction
includes
content
and
skills
only.
“Little
overt
attention
is
given
to
overarching
strategies
that
foster
reflective
reading”(Langer’s
study
as
cited
in
Alfassi,
2004,
p.
172).
Secondary
schools
are
characterised
by
single
subject
and
content
area
subcultures
“that
value
different
forms
of
knowledge
and
pedagogy”
(Cantrell,
Burns
&
Callaway,
2009,
p.
77).
The
dominance
of
subject
area
norms
(Alvermann
&
Moore,
1991;
O’Brien
et
al.,
1995),
whereby
each
discipline’s
values
and
beliefs
about
how
the
subject
should
be
learned,
have
created
separate
discourses
and
content
driven
teaching.
With
limited
infusion
of
literacy
strategies
to
meet
the
diverse
needs
of
learners,
subject
matter
is
the
main
determiner
and
organiser
of
the
secondary
school
curriculum.

content”,
they
say,
“I’m
not
the
English
teacher”
(Moje,
2008,
p.
98).
Coverage
of
content
has
resulted
in
a
“pedagogy
of
telling”
(O’Brien
et
al.,
1995)
dominated
by
teacher–led
construction
of
meaning
and
limited
adoption
of
critical
literacy
strategies
(Franzak,
2006;
and
Luke,
2004;
as
cited
in
Hitchcock,
2012),
and
content
area
teachers’
belief
that
they
are
not
competent
enough
to
meet
students’
literacy
needs
(Greenleaf
et
al.,
as
cited
in
Cantrell
et
al.,
2009).
With
the
research
indicating
a
lack
of
teacher
self-‐belief,
expertise
and
time
to
infuse
reading
into
their
curricula,
the
trials
for
struggling
adolescent
readers
acerbate.
If,
as
Shanahan
and
Shanahan
(2008)
suggest,
that
the
high
level
literacy
skills
required
at
senior
levels
are
not
being
addressed,
what
does
this
mean
for
adolescents
encountering
challenging
texts?
Students
with
low
levels
of
reading
comprehension
will
face
further
challenges
in
achieving
competence
in
all
content
areas
as
they
progress
through
the
secondary
years,
leading
to
low
self-‐esteem,
disengagement,
spiralling
failure,
and
long-‐
term
consequences
in
education
and
life.
Secondary
teachers
assuming
responsibility,
individually
and
collectively,
for
assisting
students
to
comprehend
texts
will
be
able
to
help
them
to
become
active,
purposeful
and
engaged
readers
across
the
curriculum.
If
“key
findings
from
research
reveal
that
learning
how
to
use
comprehension
strategies
can
improve
adolescent
readers’
text
comprehension”
(NICHHD,
2010,
p.
20),
it
will
be
germane
for
secondary
school
teachers
to
trial
and
infuse
methods
for
teaching
competent
comprehension
if
their
students
are
to
succeed.
If
“a
range
of
research
indicates
that
reading
strategy
instruction
operates
at
a
metacognitive
level”
(Titter,
2014,
p.25),
then
a
process
that
encourages
and
incorporates
this
“
kind
of
mental
pulse
taking”
(Paris
et
al.,
1983,
p.
301),
the
basis
of
strategic
reading,
would
be
essential.
Hitchcock’s
(2014)
recent
study
has
revealed
that
effective
literacy
practice
in
content
areas
does
contribute
towards
improved
academic
outcomes
for
senior
students.
The
evidence-‐based
practice
of
rreciprocal
teaching
could
be
that
strategy
which
secondary
teachers
adopt.

Reciprocal
teaching
(RT)
“is
based
on
the
principle
that
cognitive
development
is
strongly
influenced
by
interacting
with
more
knowledgeable
people”,
leading
to
internalised
strategies
(Mitchell,
2014,
p.
134).
It
is
an
instructional
procedure
developed
by
Palincsar
and
Brown
(1984)
to
improve
student’s
reading
comprehension
skills
through
the
scaffolded
teaching
of
four
comprehension
fostering
and
monitoring
strategies:
questioning,
summarising,
clarifying
and
predicting,
what
Oczus
(2005)
labels
as
the
“Fab
Four”
(as
cited
in
Stricklin,
2011).
Each
of
these
strategies
helps
learners
construct
meaning
from
texts
as
well
as
self-‐monitor,
and
each
has
been
identified
as
critical
in
developing
comprehension.
The
term
“reciprocal”
describes
the
nature
of
the
interactions:
each
person
acts
in
response
to
the
other(s)”
(Palincsar,
David
&
Brown,
as
cited
in
Hashey
and
Connors,
2003).
The
approach,
when
used
with
struggling
adolescent
readers,
has
been
successful
in
raising
achievement
in
reading
comprehension
(Westera
&
Moore,
1995).
The
procedure
has
been
applied
to
different
age
and
ability
groups
with
success.
Rosenshine
and
Meister’s
(1994)
meta-‐analysis
of
RT
research
indicated
that
high
school
students
do
benefit
from
RT.
They
also
reported
a
mean
effect
size
of
.32
for
standardised
testing
and
.88
for
experimenter-‐developed
tasks.
Hattie
(2009)
has
since
rated
RT
third
out
of
49
of
the
most
effective
teaching
strategies,
with
an
effect
size
of
.86.
With
such
reputable
results
one
has
to
question
why
RT
has
been
viewed
as
such
a
successful
model.
The
underlying
principles
and
theoretical
bases,
which
have
been
thoroughly
researched
worldwide,
indicate
why
this
success
is
so.
Petty’s
(2006)
definition
of
the
seven
principles
for
evidence
based
teaching
strategies:
students
must
see
the
value
of
the
learning,
they
must
believe
they
can
do
it,
challenging
goals
exist,
feedback
and
dialogue
occur
on
progress
towards
the
goal,
a
structure
of
information
and
its
meaning
are
established,
time
and
repetition,
and
skills
as
well
as
content
are
taught,
place
RT
comfortably
in
the
zone
of
evidence
based
schema.
Additionally,
comprehension
is
considered
a
“teachable
skill”
(Petty,
2006,
p.
153)
and
as
such,
deserves
more
attention

than
warranted
in
secondary
school;
as
he
reinforces,
“
teaching
both
skills
and
content
gets
much
better
results”
(Petty,
p.
283).
Unfortunately,
as
discussed
in
the
previous
section
on
adolescent
literacy
practices
in
New
Zealand
secondary
schools,
this
does
not
align
with
typical
current
practice.
Furthermore,
RT
“embodies
much
of
the
best
practices,
in
that
it
is
both
structured
and
interactive
and
designed
to
enhance
both
collaboration
and
self-‐regulated
learning”
(Kelly
&
Moore,
1993,
p.
8).
The
New
Zealand
BES
Exemplar
4
(2012,
p.
5)
reiterates
this
and
advises
that
RT
blends
“
co-‐operative
learning,
metacognitive
strategy
instruction,
differentiated
learning,
self
regulation
and
proactive
behaviour
adaptation”.
Rosenshine
and
Meister
(1994)
described
four
instructional
practices
which
are
embedded
in
RT:
direct
teaching
of
the
strategies,
practising
strategies
with
real
reading,
scaffolded
instruction
and
using
peer
support.
The
explicit
nature
of
the
teaching,
combined
with
the
added
emphasis
on
strategies
to
understand,
not
student
inadequacy,
the
students
are
empowered
and
motivated
by
the
process
(BES
4,
2012).
RT
would
therefore
be
a
powerful
strategy
for
adolescents,
who
have
a
developing
sense
of
self-‐worth
and
competence.
As
well,
the
success
of
RT
has
been
attributed
to
three
recognised,
related
theories
of
learning
(Palincsar
&
Brown,
1989):
the
zone
of
proximal
development,
where
teaching
should
occur
in
the
area
between
a
child’s
independent
and
supported
development
(Vygotsky,
1978),
propleptic
teaching,
when
the
teacher
gradually
releases
responsibility
for
implementation
of
the
strategy
to
students
(or
teaching
in
anticipation
of
competence),
and
expert
scaffolding.
Sociocultural
theories
consider
that
knowledge
is
constructed
through
interaction
(Vygotsky,
1978). The
learning
cannot
be
separated
from
the
social,
cultural
and
historical
contexts
from
which
it
emerges,
just
as
“literacy
learning
in
secondary
schools
cannot
be
separated
from
the
learner,
the
subject,
or
the
environment
in
which
it
occurs”
(Hitchcock,
2014,
p.
26).
Therefore,
if
RT
literacy
practices
are
able
to
be
meaningful,
purposeful,
and
in
conjunction
with
the
learning
of
subject
content,
the
strategy
is
ripe
for
improving
literacy
practices
in
secondary
schools.

It
is
also
noteworthy
that
in
a
study
of
cross-‐content
collaboration,
“the
students
who
were
exposed
to
the
RT
process
in
multiple
disciplines
made
the
largest
gains”
(Hashey
and
Connors,
2003,
p.
232).
There
has
been
significant
research
in
single
content
areas,
which
have
reflected
the
benefits
of
RT
in
single
disciplines.

represent
a

A

is
the
clear

New

initiatives
such
as
the
Te

project,
the
AIMHI
project,
the
Hikairo
Rationale,
and
Ka

which
prioritised
Maori

have
raised
the
issues
of
the
importance
of
identity
and
culture
to
educational
success
and
sought
to
implement
cultural
competencies
in
New

schools.
Cultural
competence
has
been
defined
as
accepting
and
respecting
differences
and
implementing
policies
and
practices
that
support
these
beliefs
and
commitments
(Cross
et
al.,
as
cited
in
McFarlane,

What
culturally
competent
practices,
therefore,
align
with
Reciprocal
Teaching?
Acknowledging
the
cultural
values
and
preferred
practices
from
within
a
Maori
worldview
played
an
important
part
in
an
extensive
New
Zealand
study
known
as
Te
Kotahitanga
(Bishop,
Berryman,
Tiakiwai
&
Richardson,
2003).
Its
development
provided
valuable
insights
into
how
teaching
and
learning
for
Maori
could
affect
their
achievement.
The
effective
teaching
profile
highlighted
understandings
that
were
essential
for
Maori:
Manaakitanga
(caring
for
Maori
as
Maori),
mana
motuhake
(high
expectations
achievement),
whakapiringatanga
(creating
a
secure
well-‐managed
learning
environment),
wānanga
(effective
teaching
interactions),
ako
(strategies
that
promote
effective
teaching
and
learning
interactions
and
relationships)
and
kotahitanga
(promoting,
monitoring
and
reflecting
on
outcomes).
Apart
from
embedding
a
consciousness
around
manaakitanga
into
the
process,
it
is
significant
that
RT
incorporates
all
of
these
practices.
The
framework
of
the
Te
Kotahitanga
GEPRISP
model,
based
on
evidence
essential
for
teaching
Maori
ākonga
would
also
support
the
inclusion
of
RT.
Within
another
methodology,
that
of
Kaupapa
Maori,
Katene
(as
cited
in
Cumming-‐
Ruwhiu,
2012)
included
additional,
essential
teaching
practices:
ngāwari
–
clear
and
precise
instructions,
ākonga
ake
–
student’s
metacognitions,
utu
–
reciprocal
relationships,
awhina
–
helpfulness
from
teachers
increases
learning
opportunities;
again,
these
align
with
RT.
Much
of
McFarlane’s
(2010)
list
of
what
Maori
learners
prefer
also
shows
alignment,
particularly
working
in
groups,
face-‐to-‐face
discussion,
shared
responsibility
and
the
tukana-‐teina
relationship
where
a
less
able
person
is
supported.
RT
also
supports
the
oranga
component
of
Durie’s
(1975)

where
the
wellbeing
of
the
individual
is
embedded
in
the
well-‐being
of
the
group
(as
cited
in
McFarlane,
2000).
The
concept
of
ako
(reciprocal
learning)
must
also
be
highlighted.
When
Metge
(1983)
described
the
ako
as
the
unified
co-‐operation
of
learner
and
teacher,
there
is
a
clear
relationship
to
RT.
The
exchanging
of
teaching
and
learning
roles
is
a
key
component
of
RT
and
also
to
the
concept
of
ako
within
New
Zealand
education
(Ministry
of
Education,
2008).
Bishop
(2001)
discusses
how
ako
occurs
when
“the
teacher
does
not
have
to
be
the
fountain
of
all
knowledge,
but
rather
a
partner
in
the
conversation
of
learning
‘”
(p.
205).
The
strength
of
power
sharing
and
reciprocity
has
also
been
highlighted
by
Glynn,
Berryman,
Loader
and
Cavanagh
(2005)
for
Maori
academic
achievement
and
by
Freire
(1970)
for
all
learners.
Westera
(2002,
p.
53)
also
supports
the
notion
that
“the
metascript
or
routines
of
RT
bear
semblance
to
views
on
learning
from
a
tikanga
Maori
perspective.
She
reinforces
“shared
authentic
group
tasks,
interaction
routines
such
as
turn
taking,
prompting
and
repeating,
…
connectedness
and
scaffolding,
shared
leadership
and
responsibility,
and
teacher/
learner
interchangeability
(Tangaere,
1997)”.
Conclusion
A
number
of
implications
for
future
research
have
evolved
from
this
literature
review.
What
impact
would
reciprocal
teaching
have
on
adolescent
and
Maori
adolescent
learners’
achievement
across
content
areas
and
across
levels
of
the
school?
What
are
the
best
methods
for
motivating
secondary
teachers
to
infuse
literacy
into
content
areas
and/or
to
sustain
them?
Which
year
levels
show
the
most
gains
when
RT
is
embedded?
The
literature
habitually
acknowledges
the
benefits
of
reciprocal
teaching,
when
well
implemented.
RT
sits
comfortably
in
many
worlds:
adolescence,
tikanga
Maori,
theories
of
comprehension-‐fostering
and
monitoring,
and
best
practice.

integrity,
it
is
embedded
with
the
characteristics
of
quality
teaching
practices,
which
Alton-‐Lee
extolled
in
her
Best
Evidence
Synthesis
(2003):
a
focus
on
student
achievement,
a
pedagogical
practice
enabling
care
and
cohesiveness,
links
to
cultural
contexts,
responsive
to
student
learning
processes,
effective
and
sufficient
opportunities
to
learn,
multiple
contexts,
alignment,
scaffolding
and
feedback,
the
promotion
of
learning
orientations,
self
regulation,
meta-‐cognition
and
student
discourse,
constructive
goal-‐oriented
assessment.
The
extent
to
which
secondary
teachers
believe
they
are
responsible
for
and
capable
of
developing
effective
teaching
practices
within
a
culturally
responsive
pedagogy
will
be
crucial.
Shanahan
and
Shanahan
(2008),
note
that
literacy
strategies
used
by
teachers
were
aligned
with
their
beliefs
about
effective
learning
in
their
subject.
Encountering
students
with
a
wide
range
of
achievement
levels
presents
challenges
for
teachers.
They
have
to
attend
to
the
literacy
needs
of
a
diverse
student
population
and
because
of
the
significant
numbers
of
Māori
students
represented
in
the
lower
levels
of
literacy
achievement,
it
is
imperative
that
secondary
teachers
use
evidence
based
literacy
strategies
and
pedagogy
responsive
to
Maori
and
adolescents.
Reciprocal
teaching,
I
believe,
sits
within
that
construct.
Wellbeing,
strength
and
achievement
emanate
from
and
belong
with
not
just
the
individual,
but
the
group.

2000,
p.
25).
