Pressupostos pedagógicos das atuais propostas de formação superior em saúde no Brasil: origens históricas e fundamentos teóricos / Pedagogic assumptions of current proposals of health graduation in Brazil: Historical origins and theoretical fundaments

Conterno, Solange de Fátima Reis 10 September 2013 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T19:35:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 5556.pdf: 2485382 bytes, checksum: 1c304b1c595f4ea61c08d9e86362a167 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-09-10 / The study approached the pedagogic assumptions of current proposals of health graduation in Brazil, disclosed by the Health Ministry as innovative and as the only possibility, nowadays, of a competent, critical and progressive health graduation. The recommended assumptions are expressed by the quotations of learning to learn; the facilitating professor; signifying learning; teaching centered in the student s interest and problem based learning. Worked with the premise that the assumptions of innovative methodologies if historically situated they lose their inventiveness and originality not constituting themselves in something new. The research aimed systematizing the historical background of the changing movement in graduation of professionals connected to health in the last decades; to identify and analyze the suggestions of changes in health training in different historical moments by different actors. To apprehend from official documents the methodological assumptions divulged to health graduation in Brazil in the last years, aiming to identify the theoretical origins of the identified pedagogical assumptions. For carrying out the present study there were recurred to primary sources, official documents which explicit the reorientations of health professionals training; ordinances; resolutions; reports; recommendations and official discourses elaborated and divulged by institutions, organs and people, which one way or another, are connected to the discussion of professionals formation which act in health field in Brazil and in the world. The secondary sources used in the course of study are intellectual productions identified as disseminators of the movement which encouraged and still do the change in health graduation based in the adhesion of innovative and intellectual methodologies which analyze the limits of active and non-directive assumptions. Through the systematization and analysis of data it was possible to identify the burden that the international movements, mostly those connected to the discussion of medical education and the role of different international organisms as the OPAS and Kellog foundation had in the disclosure of theoretical-methodological change proposes in professional training in the health field. By analyzing the main initiatives of changes in the health training disclosed in Brazil there were explicit the theoretical and political influences which conducted the Health Ministry to induce the proposes of training backed by innovative/active methodologies, which started to divulge the pedagogical assumptions theoretically connected to the active and non-directive pedagogies. Starting from the assumption that not always what is referred as new is new itself, or brings in it a significant progress related to what has been already established, along to the study of the theoretical-methodological origins of the recommended pedagogical assumptions. We conclude that the pedagogical assumptions divulged may be considered innovations in the context in which they were produced, beginning of the last century, because they constitute answers to the problems faced in the field of education, mostly in the beginning of the last century and which had as main point basic education, notedly, children s education. In the field of health, is not something new, but it is strongly anchored in one of the most advanced movements concerning the field, Preventive Medicine, which since the last century has defended the necessity of change, the curricular readjustment and the incorporation of active methodologies in health training. Currently such assumptions are resignified, losing their original sense. / O estudo abordou os pressupostos pedagógicos das atuais propostas de formação em saúde no Brasil, divulgados pelo Ministério da Saúde como inovadores e como a única possibilidade, na atualidade, de uma formação em saúde competente, crítica e progressista. Os pressupostos recomendados são expressos pelas máximas do aprender a aprender; do professor facilitador; da aprendizagem significativa; do ensino centrado no interesse do aluno e da aprendizagem por problemas. Trabalhou-se com a premissa de que os pressupostos das metodologias inovadoras, se situados historicamente, perdem sua inventividade e originalidade não se constituindo em uma novidade. A pesquisa teve como objetivos sistematizar os antecedentes históricos do movimento de mudança na formação superior dos profissionais ligados à saúde nas últimas décadas; identificar e analisar as sugestões de mudanças na formação em saúde, nos diferentes momentos históricos, por diferentes atores; apreender dos documentos oficiais os pressupostos teóricos metodológicos divulgados para a formação em saúde no Brasil nos últimos anos, visando identificar as origens teóricas dos pressupostos pedagógicos identificados. Para realização do estudo recorreu-se a fontes primárias, documentos oficiais que explicitaram as reorientações da formação dos profissionais da saúde: portarias; resoluções; relatórios; recomendações e discursos oficiais elaborados e divulgados por instituições, órgãos e pessoas, que de um modo ou outro, estão ligados à discussão da formação dos profissionais que atuam na saúde no mundo e no Brasil. As fontes secundárias foram produções de intelectuais identificados como divulgadores do movimento que incentivaram e incentivam a mudança na formação em saúde embasada na adesão às metodologias inovadoras, e intelectuais que analisam os limites dos pressupostos das metodologias ativas e não diretivas. Pela sistematização e análise dos dados foi possível identificar o peso dos movimentos internacionais, principalmente aqueles ligados à discussão da educação médica, e o protagonismo de diferentes organismos internacionais como a OPAS e a Fundação Kellogg na divulgação de propostas de mudanças teórico-metodológicas na formação profissional em saúde. Ao analisar as principais iniciativas de mudança na formação em saúde divulgadas no Brasil, explicitaram-se as influências teóricas e políticas que levaram o Ministério da Saúde a induzir as propostas de formação respaldadas nas metodologias inovadoras/ativas, as quais passaram a divulgar os pressupostos pedagógicos vinculados teoricamente às pedagogias ativas e não diretivas. Partindo do pressuposto de que nem sempre aquilo que se denomina como novo é uma novidade, ou traz em si um progresso significativo em relação ao já estabelecido, assim como do estudo das origens teórico-metodológicas dos pressupostos pedagógicos recomendados, conclui-se que os princípios pedagógicos divulgados podem ser considerados inovações no contexto em que foram produzidos, no início do século passado, por se constituírem respostas dirigidas aos problemas daquele momento histórico, tendo como questão central a educação básica, notadamente a educação de crianças. No campo da saúde, também não se trata de uma novidade, pois sua proposição está fortemente ancorada em um dos movimentos considerados mais avançado na área, a Medicina Preventiva, que desde meados do século passado, tem defendido a necessidade de mudança, de readequação curricular e da incorporação de metodologias ativas na formação em saúde. Na atualidade tais pressupostos são ressignificados, perdendo seu sentido originário.

Tese (Doutorado), Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Salvador-Bahia, 2016. O corpo sempre exerceu fascínio e os homens fizeram dele um dispositivo simbólico e cultural. Com o surgimento das tecnologias digitais se cria uma ampliação do seu processo de fascínio e espetacularização tendo nas relações sociais dos jogos online de MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role -Playing Game) um campo promissor para essa observação por se tratar de um espaço de ‘mundos persistentes’ em que se localizam relações sociais complexas. Nas redes o corpo está também para os aprendizados sociais. O argumento central da tese é que os processos de fascínio e espetacularização de si encontradas nas representações corporais do jogo online World of Warcraft, podem ser vistos como construtores de pedagogias corporais. O objetivo foi analisar nas criações corporais e nas relações dos personagens de jogadores do World of Warcraft processos de fascínio e espetacularização do corpo como parte das construções de pedagogias corporais. A metodologia utilizada foi a qualitativa de cunho descritivo e analítico, com dados construídos por meio de uma pesquisa participante e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com roteiro. A pesquisa permitiu concluir, dentre outros aspectos, que os processos de fascínio e espetacularização de si, por meio de uma festiva exibição dos corpos dos personagens no jogo, embalados pela cultura da visibilidade, são estratégias para dão aos sujeitos acessos a diferentes experiências corporais mutantes. Esses corpos fascinantes e espetacularizados no jogo e em rede não se limitam apenas à aquisição de capital social, mas, também, são legítimos dispositivos pedagógicos e produtores de conhecimentos. / ABSTRACT The body has always held fascination and men made him a symbolic and cultural device. With the emergence of digital technologies to create an extension of its allure process and spectacle with the social relations of online games MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Game -playing) a promising field for this observation because it is an area of 'worlds persistent 'where they are located complex social relations. In the networks the body is also to social learning. The central argument of the thesis is that the fascination processes and spectacle of themselves found in bodily representations of the online game World of Warcraft, can be seen as pedagogies body builders. The aim was to analyze the physical creations and relationships of the characters players of World of Warcraft fascination processes and spectacle of the body as part of the body pedagogies buildings. The methodology was qualitative descriptive and analytical, with data built through a participatory research and semi-structured interviews with script. The study concluded, among other things, that the fascination processes and spectacle of himself, through a festive display of the bodies of the characters in the game, packed the culture of visibility, are strategies to give individuals access to different bodily experiences mutants. These fascinating and espetacularizados in the game and network bodies are not limited to the acquisition of capital, but also are legitimate pedagogical devices and producers of knowledge.

Do ponto de vista teórico-metodológico, utilizou-se a Psicologia Histórico-Cultural principalmente na produção de Lev Semyonovich Vigotski, para verificar em cinco abordagens pedagógicas (Aptidão Física/Saúde Renovada, Humanista, Psicomotricidade, Desenvolvimentismo, Construtivismo/Interacionismo) três eixos fundamentais: as forças motrizes do desenvolvimento; a relação entre ensino, aprendizagem e desenvolvimento e o projeto de formação humana. A partir do pressuposto de que a concepção de desenvolvimento humano pode ser identificada explicita ou implicitamente na materialização pedagógica, colocar a concepção de desenvolvimento humano em prioridade, implica em analisar as incursões e apropriações da Educação Física Escolar no campo da Psicologia. Como resultado, observamos que as sistematizações em meados da década de 1980 das pedagogias do consenso na Educação Física Escolar serviram, em certa medida, para superar a concepção técnico-biológico e esportivista. Entretanto, no que concerne a concepção de desenvolvimento humano, as aproximações pedagógicas e o projeto de formação humana, reproduz a primazia aos aspectos biológicos no processo de desenvolvimento e formação humana, na qual se estabelece uma compreensão do indivíduo a partir da maturação orgânica e na individualização e naturalização das relações coletivas pela manutenção da ordem social vigente. Buscamos nos colocar ao coletivo de pesquisadores da Educação Física, na busca pela superação do pensamento teórico hegemônico e dos limites impostos pelo capitalismo na prática social da Educação Física Escolar. / The present research was carried out from the theoretical analysis of the conception of human development in pedagogies of the consensus in Physical Education. From the theoretical-methodological point of view, it was used the History-Culture Psychology mainly in the production of Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky to verify in five pedagogical approaches (Physical Aptitude/Renewed Health, Humanist, Psychomotricity, Developmentalism, Constructivism/ Interactionism) three fundamental axes: the driving forces of development; the relation between teaching, learning and development and the human formation project. From the understanding that the conception of human development can be explicitly or implicitly identified in the pedagogical materialization, placing the conception of human development in priority implies in analyzing the incursions and appropriations of Physical Education in the area of Psychology. As a result, we observed that the systematizations in the mid-1980s of consensus pedagogies in Physical Education served to a certain extent to overcome the technical-biological and sportivist conception, but, as far as the conception of human development is concerned, approximations pedagogical and the human formation project, the primacy of biological aspects is reproduced, in the understanding of the individual from the organic maturation and in the individualization of the collective relations by the maintenance of the current social order. We seek to place ourselves in the collective of Physical Education researchers in the quest for overcoming hegemonic theoretical thinking and the limits imposed by capitalism in the social practice of Physical School Education.

O 'habitus' e o monge: uma análise das contradições das concepções de bons professores de inglês como língua estrangeira.

Sullivan Silk Pouza 16 April 2002 (has links)
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo principal a análise e a discussão das contradições das concepções de bons professores de Inglês como língua estrangeira. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa em que procedemos à coleta de dados, constituídos de observações de aulas de Língua Inglesa (18 horas) e entrevistas com alunos, professores e diretores (20 horas) de duas escolas públicas da grande São Paulo. O quadro teórico-metodológico que fundamenta nosso estudo é baseado na perspectiva etnográfica de pesquisa aplicada à sala de aula, a qual ressalta, principalmente, os aspectos intersubjetivo e ideológico que estruturam os fenômenos sociais. Abordamos, igualmente, o conceito de habitus pedagógico elaborado por Bourdieu e Passeron a fim de investigarmos a nossa hipótese, a saber: como concepções heterogêneas e conflitantes de bons professores de Inglês como língua estrangeira emergem das experiências dos sujeitos que compõem as comunidades escolares estudadas. Dado o caráter instável e conflitante do habitus pedagógico, concluímos que não há evidências de uma interpretação monolítica que possam ser depreendidas dos repertórios discursivos dos alunos, professores e diretores das comunidades escolares. Concluímos, também, a partir das críticas e das re-visões do conceito de habitus, que as questões relacionadas às mudanças sociais e à democracia na educação devem ser entendidas fora da imobilidade social apregoada pelo conceito de habitus, tornando-se necessário ir além dos preceitos difundidos pelas perspectivas reprodutivistas em educação. Propomos esse deslocamento levando em conta os pressupostos da pedagogia crítica e da possibilidade, os quais vislumbram uma conscientização mais democrática e transformadora do processo de ensino/aprendizagem no ensino público. / The main purpose of the present dissertation is the analysis and discussion of the contradictory conceptions of good teachers of English as a foreign language. To carry this study out, we focused on the data research analysis which is based on English Language classes observation (18 hours) and interviews with students, teachers and school directors (20 hours) from two state school communities in the greater São Paulo region. Our theoretical and methodological framework includes the ethnographic research perspective and attitude applied to the classroom which postulates principally the inter subjective and ideological character of social phenomena. The concept of pedagogical habitus proposed by Bourdieu and Passeron is put forward in order to investigate our hypothesis, namely, how heterogeneous and conflicting good teachers of English conceptions emerged from the subjects experiences which shape the investigated pedagogical cultural loci. On account of the unstable and conflicting character of the pedagogical habitus, we reach the conclusion that neither a safe ground nor a monolithic interpretation can be visualized in students, teachers and school directors discourse repertoires. It is concluded, through the questioning and re-vision of the habitus concept, that issues of social changes and democracy in education has to be understood out of the social immobility which the habitus concept suggests; furthermore, it is relevant to go beyond the educational reproductive perspectives assumptions as well. Consequently, we propose such a dislocation taking into account the critical and possibility pedagogies insights as a wider response to a more democratic and transformative public schooling education consciousness.

How faculties of education respond to new knowledge requirements embedded in teacher education policies : stepping through the looking-glass

Papier, Joy C. 09 July 2008 (has links)
This study examines how university academics understand and enact knowledge requirements embedded in official teacher education policies. The research probes faculty understandings of what constitutes ‘relevant and appropriate pedagogies’ in teacher education curricula, and the basis of such knowledge selections in the absence of a stable ‘knowledge base’ of teacher education. In teacher education, new national norms and standards are intended to guide curriculum processes in new programmes. However, policies remain open to wide interpretation and assume common understandings among the teacher education community with regard to knowledge, practices and values. This study, conducted in three university-based Faculties of Education, analyses the curriculum motivations, processes and practices of education academics, in an attempt to understand and explain their responses to policy requirements. The conceptual framework of Paul Trowler is employed to examine the Teaching and Learning Regimes (TLRs) at work in academic contexts. By lifting out the discursive repertoires, identities in interaction, tacit assumptions, connotative codes, implicit theories of teaching and learning, power relations, rules of appropriateness and recurrent practices among faculty members, this research demonstrates how knowledge is mediated in and through institutional contexts. Three parallel Faculty portraits elucidate stark differences in approaches to curricula and in curriculum processes, a consequence of the lack of a stable knowledge base and the perceived vagueness of policy directives. Significantly, institutional histories and traditions feature prominently as ‘shapers’ of academic responses to change, factors that, the study argues, government policies have not taken into account. / Thesis (PhD (Education Policy Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted

Implementeringen av utbildning för hållbar utveckling i svensk grundskolas läroplan : En intervjustudie om hur implementeringen ser ut och fungerar i praktiken, ur lärarnas perspektiv / The implementation of education for sustainable development in the curriculum of Swedish primary school : An interview study about the practical implementation and operation, from the teachers' perspective

Leandersson, Ebba January 2021 (has links)
Utbildning för hållbar utveckling är en oumbärlig komponent för att nästkommande generation ska kunna utveckla kompetenser och färdigheter för att hantera och förebygga de klimatförändringar och miljöproblem vi människor står inför. Skolan anses vara den mest avgörande platsen när det gäller att inspirera, motivera och utbilda miljömedvetna individer. I svensk grundskola är hållbar utveckling inskrivet i läroplanen och skall genomsyra all undervisning sedan 2006. Forskare har dock visat att många lärare saknar kompetenser och självförtroende för att undervisa om hållbar utveckling, alternativt är instruktioner och begrepp för otydliga och komplexa, vilket resulterar i en bristfällig implementering. Tidigare forskning indikerar att det saknas vägledning för hur hållbar utveckling skall implementeras i undervisningen rent praktiskt, eller att de styrdokument som finns behöver uppdateras. Med denna problematik till grund gjordes en intervjustudie där tre lärare och fyra lärarstudenter på grundskolenivå intervjuades för att besvara frågeställningarna och identifiera förbättringspotential och eventuellt kunna föreslå åtgärder för framtiden. Resultaten ställdes emot teorin Dewey’s notion of learning, experience and habits i syfte att bland annat besvara frågan kring vilka metoder och strategier som är de mest effektiva för att forma medvetna individer och i förlängningen skapa hållbara städer och samhällen. Intervjustudiens svarsanalys indikerade att det som tidigare forskare påvisat, att implementeringen är bristfällig och behöver ses över, med ett utökat helhetsperspektiv. / Education for sustainable development is an indispensable component to provide the coming generations with competencies and skills to cope with and prevent the sustainability issues todays’ communities are facing. Schools are one of the most crucial determinators when it comes to inspire, motivate and educate environmentally conscious individuals. Sustainable development is a part of the Swedish curriculum since 2006. However, studies on the field show that teachers are lacking competencies and confidence to educate on sustainable development, or that the guidelines and the topic is too vague and complex, which corresponds with an inadequate implementation. Current studies on the field indicate that guidance for an effective implementation is needed, or that the guidelines that exist need an update. With these identified problems, an interview study was conducted, three primary teachers and four students in the teachers’ program participated to answer the questions and identify potential for improvement and potentially give suggestions for future changes. The findings were used together with the theory Dewey’s notion of learning, experience and habits, with the aim to answer the question of which teaching methods and strategies are the most effective to form conscious individuals and eventually create sustainable cities and communities. The interview study confirmed what previous researchers have shown, that the implementation is inadequate and needs to be reviewed and updated with a holistic perspective. / <p>-</p>

Solidární akademie v Turecku: analýza akademického aktivismu, parrhesie a praktik sdílení / Solidarity Academies in Turkey: An analysis of academic activism, parrhesia, and commoning practices

Demirkır, Öykü January 2021 (has links)
This research seeks to interpret the academic activism of Academics for Peace in Turkey. It argues that the occurrence of the Academics for Peace results from the intertwinement of neoliberal and authoritarian ideology. The writer of this research suggests that Academics for Peace build networks of solidarity based on resistive critique and truth-telling practices. Solidarity (alternative) academies in Turkey are the seeds of this engagement in solidarity, self- adapting practices, activist truth, and parrhesia, and they appear as phenomena that carry out prefigurative-instituent practices. The research suggests that Solidarity academies can be evaluated as a 'threshold' cultivating our understanding of the 'commons' and 'commoning practices.'

TOWARDS A CULTURALLY NURTURING INTEGRATED SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING EDUCATION: NARRATIVE EXPLORATION OF MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHERS

Khanh Q Tran (8889212) 27 April 2023 (has links)
<p>For more than five decades, education scholars and activists have argued for a culturally relevant and nurturing education that reflects students' diverse experiences in K-12 classrooms. Yet, with the most recent national reform on science standards, the call to engage all learners pushed for advancing STEM in the United States, and many science education scholars have problematized such rhetoric. Unfortunately, the inclusionary blanket term like “engaging all learners” and the efforts that lead behind it do not consider the sociocultural realities that young children bring into the classrooms and the negotiation in learning school science. In this three-paper dissertation, I explore how middle school science teachers recognize the sociocultural realities students come with and cultivate a culturally nurturing education in response to the increase of racial, economic, and linguistic diversity within their integrated STEM classrooms. In particular, the aim of this dissertation to understand how middle school science teachers align school science, specifically in teaching integrated science and engineering, to the sociocultural realities of students by centering on the sensemaking of teacher’s lived experience and experiential knowledge. The first study draws on a narrative inquiry case study approach to understand how a middle school science teacher cultivated a culturally sustaining STEM classroom. The research question that guided this study was: How does Mrs. Johnson make meaning of her experiences in making science and engineering learning more culturally relevant and sustaining for her diverse middle school students? Findings from this study illuminates a complex narrative such as the intentionality of making multiple epistemologies explicit in learning science and engineering and the required racial reflexive work for cultivating a culturally sustaining and student-focused STEM classrooms. The findings also highlight challenges Mrs. Johnson faced as she integrates students’ lived experiences and alternative ways of knowing and doing into science and STEM teaching. The second study uses a single-case study approach to understand specific teaching practices that truncated the cultivation of a culturally sustaining education by exploring the opportunities that allowed internalized and interpersonal oppression to perpetuate with the same teacher, Mrs. Johnson. The research questions that guided this study are as follow: In what ways does teaching the GMO and Loon Nesting Platform STEM units foreground individual and interpersonal oppression to manifest? What teaching practices allow these moments of oppression to be pervasive? Findings from this study suggest that oppression becomes pervasive when teaching integrated science and engineering without considering how STEM learning could be irrelevant to students’ lived experiences and the role of power in teaching science. Based on these findings, I developed a year-long virtual professional development program that emphasized teaching integrated science and engineering with a focus on culturally nurturing and asset-based pedagogies. The final study draws on teachers’ funds of knowledge and identity to explore the sensemaking of a rural science teacher as he participates in the professional development program and how the sensemaking of his lived experiences informed his use of asset-based pedagogies. The research question that guided this study was: How do Mr. Jordan’s funds of knowledge and identity inform their use of asset-based pedagogies in reform-based, rural science classrooms? Findings from this study highlights Mr. Jordan’ funds of knowledge and identity informing his use of culturally responsive and relevant pedagogies. Implications of the third study proposes generational cultural wealth as a theoretical framework as one way teachers can begin aligning school science to students’ sociocultural realities. The final chapter of this dissertation presents a synthesis across the three studies and a summary of the implications for teaching.  </p>

Teaching the Teachers: Reflections from two Graduate Teaching Assistants

Grimaldi, A., Selvaraj, M. Sudhir 29 January 2024 (has links)
Yes / This paper offers a critical reflection on the experience of two former Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) - the authors - who were tasked with creating a digital learning program during the first UK national lockdown in 2020. The program drew from an emerging body of literature that seeks to employ Freirian pedagogies in the digital classroom and was designed to equip both new and established members of faculty with the skills needed for online teaching. While taking on this challenge, however, the experienced GTAs found that their pedagogical instincts and practices were challenged by their positionalities as young Early Career Researchers (ECRs) from underrepresented groups in British Academia. The aim of this paper is thus to scrutinise the potential for online learning to democratise and shift perceived hierarchies within academia, not only for students, but for ECRs navigating the structures of university teaching in the current employment climate.

Situating the countried existence of critical indigenous pedagogies & Aborginal and Torres Strait Islander student's ways of learning

Backhaus, Vincent Stuart January 2019 (has links)
The Countried experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of (Australia), ground a resilience and strength in sovereign thinking through the Stories we share laterally with family and inter-ancestrally through our connections to the Dreaming. The stories we share develop a sense of inalienability we have that is connected to the Countries of origin we share and identify with across the continental scape of Land, Water and Sky Country. As a formative philosophical assumption, the Countried existence that this dissertation develops, illuminates the significance of this research thinking to contribute to the continued development of Indigenous education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students attending secondary high schools across (Australia). By attending to the ways Elders as significant Indigenous leaders describe and develop their storied lives through lived experience, this Countried philosophy emerges through the Storied knowing of Country. By examining the approaches to learning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students adopt, further evidence can be contributed to the research surrounding Indigenous thinking and cognitive approaches to thinking through education learning tasks. By examining the perceptions and beliefs of non-indigenous teachers, this dissertation aims to contribute evidence to Indigenous pedagogies that teachers can deploy in the delivery of meaningful Indigenous Knowledge curricula content. Summatively, this thesis found that when deep engagements are made into the notion of inalienability of Countried experience, salient avenues of thinking and learning and teaching emerge surrounding the ways education can continue to elaborate and relate meaningfully to the First Peoples of Australia.
