thoughts from reading
How relevant is the research to actual chalk face?
Our topic is mindsets; Growth mindset - possible research questions
Is mindset nuture or nature? Parental influence, behaviour, developmental stage?
Media and peer influences of mindsets.
i can't do, I'm dumb mindset - is that developed and perpetuated by teachers? National standards?
Is it linked to socio econoic standing, lower income lower expectations.
Bad parental school experiences transferred onto their children.
Lit review - looking at how grouping kids into ability groupings affects the kids mindsets and attitude to their ability and learning. Interview kids about how they feel about it, their thoughts and feelings and how we could change it. Parent perspectives about how kids are grouped and the effect this has on their kids.
When did students decide they couldn't do or were back at a specific learning area.
How can kaupapa maori inform research?
Kaupapa Māori in research is concerned with methodology (a process of enquiry that determines the methods used)
An important feature of kaupapa Māori research is that one must undertake research that will have positive outcomes for Māori (Smith 1999).
make sure that the research will have positive benefits for students of all cultures.
principals we will use from Kaupapa Maori
The principle of self determination
The principal of extended family structure
Social economic mediation
For our second assignement could we look at a plan of how we change parental and community mindsets around kids mising out on " fundamental and necessary" skills becasue of using digital technology instead of how it used to be e.g pen and paper, practicing handwriting, etc
