Connection and connectedness: Realizing the imperative for Indigenous education
International Education Journal, Vol.14(2), pp.1-9
2015
Abstract
This article expands upon a keynote presentation delivered at the 42nd Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Comparative and International Education Society in November 2014. The conference theme was International, Indigenous and Multicultural Imperatives for Education. The article considers the imperative for Indigenous Education and how it plays out within learning environments. Education for, by and with Indigenous peoples has for many years been a contested space defined by more questions than answers. Consequently, the challenge lies in understanding the motivation for the imperative, its classification and the responsibilities contained therein. The practice of connection and connectedness can support the conditions in which learners, educators, policy makers, researchers and communities may meet this challenge.
