Māori pedagogies: A view from the literature

This paper attempts to illuminate ancient pedagogies, which resonate within contemporary educational contexts. Findings from the research on Māori traditional child rearing and teaching and learning practices could inform and contribute positively to today's learning environments. It is worth noting that ancient conventions in education are sometimes replicated in what is currently termed best practice.
