Educational anthropology|Oceania | | Abstract | Dr Taufe’ulungaki, herself a researcher of renown in the Pacific, interrogates the way that Pacific research has been largely undertaken by westerners, using western methodology, and underpinned by western belief systems and epistemologies. She argues that Pacific research should be undertaken by Pacific Islanders who interpret their cultures and experiences through Pacific ‘lenses’, and it should have as its primary purpose the reclamation of Pacific values and knowledge for Pacific peoples. If development plans are to be more successful than hitherto, they must be grounded in a Pacific worldview. | | Volume/Year | Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.45, vol.23, no.2, 2001 | | Collation | p. 3-13 ; | | Notes | • | | | | Filesize | 38856 bytes | | File Format | PDF | | Number of pages | 11 |
