Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
1. What new understandings and learnings specific to māra kai do the students attribute to their experiences in the ‘Whakatipu Iwi Nui’ project?
2. What new understandings and learnings specific to service-learning do the students attribute to their experiences in the study project?
3. What ‘deeper learnings’ within and beyond the curriculum, do students describe from their experiences in the study project?
ABSTRACT:
This thesis presents a qualitative study on the value of māra kai as a vehicle for culturally responsive service-learning at a provincial intermediate school in Aotearoa New Zealand. Connections are made between gardening, service learning, Te Ao Maori and the development of skills and knowledge within and beyond the curriculum. Students’ perspectives of their learning experience form the basis of the data gathered and contribute to the findings which detail the value of māra kai as an opportunity to develop significant and meaningful learning experiences.
