    What’s the Future for Science in the New Zealand Curriculum?
    (Springer Link, 2024-10-02) Stewart, GT; Eames, C; Hipkins, R; Cheng, MMW; Birdsall, S; Buntting, C; Carpendale, J; Edwards, R; Hunt, D; Swanson, C
    This commentary article considers the current contentious debates over the national school science curriculum in Aoteaora New Zealand. The co-authors of this commentary are members of a group of science teacher educators and science education researchers who met recently to discuss concerns over aspects of these debates in the context of a wider political contest over the control and direction of education policy.

    Cultivating Cultural Heritage and Fostering Belonging in Communities Through Digital and Non-Digital Technologies in Generative STEAM Education
    (Addleton Academic Publishers, 2024-09-01) Videla, Ronnie; Aguayo, Claudio; Aguilera, José; Aros, Maybritt; Ibacache, Camilo; Valdivia, Paulina; Cerpa, Carola
    The predominance of Western thought, traditionally dualistic and reductionist, has simplified and devalued the complexity and richness of the historical-cultural heritage, including the tangible and intangible heritage of lagging communities and Indigenous peoples across the globe. With the increasing globalisation and migration of people from one place to another, the preservation of cultural identity has become a significant concern for communities worldwide; thus, we ask ourselves: How can the past (material and intangible historical-cultural heritage of lagging communities and Indigenous peoples) be kept alive in the present? Here, we propose that digital technology has the potential to play a vital role in helping communities maintain a sense of cultural belonging. Digital technology offers numerous possibilities for communities to preserve, document, revitalise, (re-)connect and share their cultural heritage, allowing them to maintain a sense of belonging with their roots and history. One of the most significant benefits of digital technology is the ability to document and preserve cultural artefacts, traditions and practices. Moreover, digital technology can enable communities to engage further with their cultural heritage while sharing this with a broader audience and/or other communities in similar situations. With the rise of immersive technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality, and technology such as 3D manufacturing, electronics and biomaterials, cultural experiences can be brought to people worldwide, allowing individuals to learn and appreciate different cultures without physically being present. By focusing on a case study from the commune of La Higuera, IV Region of Chile, we will explore the potential of digital and non-digital technology to keep the past alive in the present and for the future while providing key design principles for others to follow and be inspired by.

    Mātauranga Māori and Secondary Science Teaching: 2022
    (Faculty of Education, University of Canterbury, 2022-12-17) Stewart, Georgina
    This reflection piece is written for secondary science teachers in Aotearoa New Zealand who are, for the first time, being obliged to consider the inclusion of Māori words and concepts in the NCEA achievement standards they use to assess their students. My aim is to unpack the issues implicit in the current trends to incorporate Māori knowledge in the secondary science curriculum, and help science teachers see the new standards in a more balanced and optimistic way.

    A Dissenter in the Ranks: Barzillai Quaife’s Mission to New Zealand
    (Wiley, 2024-07-11) Moon, Paul
    The arrival of the Congregationalist minister Barzillai Quaife in New Zealand in 1840 casts a new light on the established historiography on the role of missionaries in the colony at this time, revealing substantial (imported) divisions between Anglicans and Dissenting sects, resulting in a level of antipathy that (ironically) exceeded that which existed between Protestants and Catholics in the country at this time. Quaife's presence also illuminates the overlapping roles of the Anglican mission as a branch of state polity as well as a distinct religious entity in the colony, how this othered Quaife's Congregationalist mission, and the potential for misconstruing individual personality traits with strongly-held theological opinions.
