Nga Taonga Whakaako: bicultural competence in early childhood education

This is the report of a project that examined how bicultural competence is applied in the education of early childhood teachers with regards to Maori pedagogies, identities, languages and cultural beliefs, and how Maori pedagogies are valued in the provision of early childhood education in Aotearoa (New Zealand). A Kaupapa Maori methodology was adopted, drawing upon qualitative techniques. From this project, seven resources were developed to support and promote bicultural competence within the early childhood education sector.
