Kaupapa Māori research is a generic term used to describe a range of practice relating particularly to research by, with, and for Māori. The use of kaupapa Māori models and frameworks within one qualitative research project "Mātauranga Motuhake" includes a wharenui model, access to research sites by whakawhānaungatanga and an empowering consent process. A wānanga drew on the principles derived from the Treaty of Waitangi for analyses of both the process and the content of the research with examples from one case study presented here.
This paper attempts to illuminate ancient pedagogies, which resonate within contemporary educational contexts. Findings from the research on Māori traditional child rearing and teaching and learning practices could inform and contribute positively to today's learning environments. It is worth noting that ancient conventions in education are sometimes replicated in what is currently termed best practice.

The Assessment Resource Banks (ARBs) are computerised banks of assessment material that are available on the Internet. They are linked to the current New Zealand curriculum statements in mathematics, science, and English. This workshop will introduce and demonstrate the ARBs. This will be followed by a description of the diagnostic potential of the ARBs. The final part will be an interactive discussion of the diagnostic dimension of a selection of resources from the mathematics ARB.

This small-scale, exploratory study was designed to include around 6 families from each of 5 ethnic groups (Cook Islands, Niue, Samoan, Tokelauan, and Tongan). The intention was to provide an account of the experiences of children, parents, and teachers focusing on language and other aspects of children's move from Pacific Islands early childhood centres into English-language primary schools.
The report includes a literature review. It outlines key issues that emerged and gives suggestions for further research.
