  2. Today’s topic Aboriginal Studies. Issues for consideration when teaching Aboriginal Students

  3. Question 1. The word Aboriginal: • Is a proper noun and must always be spelt with a capital A • Is a collective noun and can be spelt with a lower or uppercase A

  4. Answer The correct answer is A. Aboriginal should always be spelt with a capital A and should never be abbreviated to the first three letters which can be interpreted as being offensive by Aboriginal Australians.

  5. Question 2. When employing Aboriginal speakers, it is most likely that they will prefer to: • Work with small groups or single classes. • Work with large groups or in front of the entire school.

  6. Answer The correct answer is A. Aboriginal visitors are likely to be more comfortable working in small unconfronting groups rather than speaking to a large crowd which may feel intimidating.

  7. Question 3. When an Aboriginal speaker arrives for an engagement, it is most likely that they will: • Want to start quickly and meet everybody involved. • Want to become familiar with the environment before beginning.

  8. Answer AUDIENCE VOTE.. Which answer does the audience believe is correct…. • Want to start quickly and meet everybody involved. • Want to become familiar with the environment before beginning.

  9. Question 4. An aboriginal girl doesn’t want to participate in a Biology class animal dissection. The most likely reason for this is: • Her cultural beliefs. • Seeing blood will make her feel sick.

  10. Answer. The correct answer is B. Not harming animals is a Buddhist belief. Aboriginal students are likely to feel the same way about animal dissections as most other students.

  11. Question 5. When an Aboriginal student avoids eye contact with you he or she is most likely to be: • Showing disrespect and distain for you and what you are saying. • Reflecting his or her discomfort and recognizing your seniority.

  12. Answer The correct answer is B. In Aboriginal culture, bowing of the head and avoiding eye contact is a signal of discomfort and recognition of the presence of a senior figure.

  13. Question 6. What am I..? Some people believe I was invented up to 40000 years ago. Historians however, suggest I have been around for about 2000 years. People who make use of me are commonly referred to as “pullers”. My sound was first recorded by Sir Baldwin Spencer in 1912. In Aboriginal culture, I am considered a men’s instrument, believed to inflict twins on any female who plays me.

  17. Question 7. It is most likely that an Aboriginal student will choose which of the following as a higher priority? • A distant relatives’ birthday party. • Completing an assessment task due tomorrow.

  18. Answer The correct answer is A. It is very common in Aboriginal communities that family comes first and family functions represent a very high priority. AUDIENCE DISCUSSION: What adjustments can you make to your teaching to accommodate this aspect of Aboriginality.

  19. Question 8. If you have an Aboriginal student in your class, questions related to Aboriginality should be: • Directed mostly to the Aboriginal student. • Shared equally amongst the class.

  20. Answer AUDIENCE VOTE.. Which answer does the audience believe is correct…. • Directed mostly to the Aboriginal student. • Shared equally amongst the class.

  21. Question 9. One of your Aboriginal students arrives at school one day asking you to call him by a different name from now on. Which of the following is most likely to be true: • The student doesn’t like his old name and wants a new one. • There was a death in the students family.

  22. Answer. The correct answer is B. Aboriginal culture stipulates that it is disrespectful to speak the name of a recently deceased person. It is common therefore, for people of the same name to change their name to avoid this disrespect to the deceased.

  23. Question 10. When raising your voice in class, Aboriginal students will interpret your actions as: • A demonstration of your senior position. • Disrespectful and inappropriate.

  24. Answer The correct answer is B. Aboriginal communities view the raising of the voice as a sign of disrespect and inappropriate within a learning environment. It is more useful to speak calmly and privately when addressing Aboriginal students. AUDIENCE DISCUSSION: What other methods do you think are appropriate when applying discipline to Aboriginal Students.

  25. Question 11. The previous video highlights: • Issues for consideration when taking a whole school approach to teaching Aboriginal Students. • How Aboriginal Schools run differently to other schools and the reasons why they are different.

  26. Answer The correct answer is A. Karen Cain refers to 6 ways of incorporating Aboriginal past, present and future into a state school curriculum. These are: 1. Autonomous curriculum 2. Management of student decision making 3. Community involvement 4. Staffing 5. Additional resources 6. Traditional methodology

  27. Answer cont. Karen Cain also lists 7 methods the school uses to keep up with the demands of teaching Aboriginal children. These are: 1. Oral activities 2. Elders consulted about language and culture 3. Strengthen Aboriginal identity 4. Innovative teaching practices and curriculum 5. Daily and annual review of practice 6. Build partnerships and relationships 7. Respect for each other and for their differences

  28. Question 12. Academic problems, slow learner labels, social and academic ostracism and juvenile delinquency are: • Common issues associated with COM. (Chronic Otitis Media) • Issues encountered by all Aboriginal students.

  29. Answer The correct answer is A. Chronic Otitis Media or Chronic Ear Infections cause fluctuated hearing and is 10 times more common among Aboriginal students. COM is caused by a bacterial build-up in the middle ear resulting in repetitive ear infections.

  30. Question 13. It is most effective to teach Aboriginal students by: • Bringing Aboriginal resources into the classroom. • Taking students outside the classroom into a natural environment.

  31. Answer AUDIENCE VOTE.. Which answer does the audience believe is correct…. • Bringing Aboriginal resources into the classroom. • Taking students outside the classroom into a natural environment.

  32. Question 14. Which of the following is a more desirable situation within a school classroom. • Aboriginal students speaking “Aboriginal English” during show and tell. • All students speaking Aboriginal English within the classroom.

  33. Answer The correct answer is A. Teachers who ignore the Aboriginal English dialect are reducing the Aboriginal students' capacity to build on prior learning. It is important to provide a context for which Aboriginal English is appropriate and clear guidelines for when it is inappropriate.

  34. Score Check Just two questions remaining…

  35. Question 15. A phrase very common to non-Aboriginal people but less common for Aboriginal people is: • Thank you. Because Aboriginal culture is based on obligations between individuals who are related by blood or marriage. • Please. Because it is an expectation in Aboriginal social situations that everything is shared between all parties.

  36. Answer The correct answer is A. Aboriginal people find it odd the non-aboriginal people say thank you all the time. Aboriginal social organisation is based on a set of obligations between family members and such obligations do not require any thanks.

  37. Question 16. Who am I..? I was born of the Wangal people circa 1764 and died in obscurity at my home in Kissing Point on January 3, 1813. Arguably one of the most notable Aboriginal people in the early history of Australia, Iwas one of the first Aboriginal people to live with the settlers. My capture was part of Phillip's plan to learn the language and customs of the local peopleand I eventually travelled with him to England in 1792. My name now represents a district of Sydney, covering an area of approximately 53 sq km between Carlingford and Chatswood. My one word name is spelt B………
