Indigenous Knowledge (IK) Notes; No. 87 |
| description |
Indigenous knowledge (IK) can act as a
powerful tool in a learning environment to teach students.
Conventional curricula, and achievement tests in many
countries, however, do not support students' learning
based on their IK. Learning environments need to be adapted
to help students build on their indigenous communities'
knowledge, and by recognizing students' culture and
value systems. Educators can further this type of education
by combining appropriate pedagogical techniques1. The note
presents various strategies that can help educators
recognize the IK that students bring with them to learning
environments, and use this as a stepping-stone to help them
succeed academically. In addition, three educational
programs that have successfully integrated IK into their
projects are highlighted. |
