dc.description.abstractIn a context where disruption is on the horizon and a new unified curriculum will soon begin to shape the context of social work education in Aotearoa, there is a very real threat that difference and diversity may be overlooked and fall to the hegemony of western individualised approaches. It is therefore imperative to recognise the diversity within our cohort of learners, to maintain practices that work, and to continue to focus on parity of outcomes. This presentation will highlight the ways that supportive processes have contributed to student success with a particular focus on Pacific learners in Unitec’s social practice degree programme. It will highlight best practice within the creation of a support system called "Fono". The social practice Fono was created as a place where Pacific students go to complement their learning journey in a culturally safe and supportive place. This initiative came about after research was conducted by the Pacific Centre and social practice leadership on how to increase parity for Pacific students in addition to recruitment and retention. Talanoa style research has since been undertaken with a small group of Pacific students who are in the later stages of their degrees and have been the cornerstone of the ongoing success of Fono. Their experiences align with research around best practice for engaging and successful Pacific learners. This presentation will be made by lecturers in the programme who teach first year students, one of whom is the designated Pacific Champion for the department. They have an interest in research around the transformative nature of education and the related concept of ako, which can be used to validate the knowledge of a diverse student group.en_NZ
