Synthesis report
Māori learner success in tertiary education | Highlights from Ako Aotearoa supported research projects
This report presents highlights and key findings from Ako Aotearoa funded projects that focused on supporting and developing Māori learner success; practitioner development in tertiary education; and institutional support for learners to engage with Te Ao Māori in learning environments that are culturally inclusive and meaningful.
Report prepared by Dr Acushla Sciascia.
The purpose of this report is to:
- Provide a reference guide of all Māori learner success projects funded by Ako Aotearoa
- Provide a resource for practitioners seeking strategies and approaches to learning that support and develop Māori learner success
- Provide a resource for TEOs (tertiary education organisations) and policymakers seeking to best support learners and practitioners to engage with concepts in tertiary education.
Key highlights from 45 funded projects provide a range of insights, discoveries and strategies that practitioners can utilise and learn from, and also provide some indication of the gaps in research where further work is required.
