Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a small scale qualitative research that explores the experiences, views and narratives of Tongan families who have a child with a disability within an Early Childhood Education (ECE) setting in Aotearoa New Zealand. The purpose of this study is to build on existing literature and research, albeit small, and provide insight into the cultural frameworks, values and principles that underpin the anga faka-Tonga – Tongan culture. This research is the first of its kind with reference to Tongan families and children with a disability within an ECE setting in Aotearoa New Zealand, in particular akoteu – Tongan ECE centres. The conceptual framework that underpins this research incorporates Pasifika methodologies. The kakala model is used to describe the processes of research, including the selection of participants, data collection and analysis. The notions of mālie and māfana are employed. These were deemed to be culturally appropriate for this research and its participants. The findings identified the importance of anga faka-Tonga, its values, and the Christian faith for families, and their appreciation for the incorporation of these at their child’s akoteu. The findings also highlighted the need for teachers to be culturally responsive, and provide a learning environment that fosters children’s development. Of particular interest was the ways in which families within this study expressed their perceptions of children as a tāpuaki mei he ‘Otua – a blessing from God. It is envisaged that this study will contribute to the existing research and literature on families’ experiences within the ECE setting, with particular emphasis on Tongan families who have a child with a disability. It is anticipated that this study will provide strategies for how to work more effectively with Tongan families and their children. It is hoped that through this study, ideas may arise to further research within this area.

Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of Disabled Children’s Childhood Studies by : Katherine Runswick-Cole
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Disabled Children’s Childhood Studies written by Katherine Runswick-Cole and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disabled children’s lives have often been discussed through medical concepts of disability rather than concepts of childhood. Western understandings of childhood have defined disabled children against child development ‘norms’ and have provided the rationale for segregated or ‘special’ welfare and education provision. In contrast, disabled children’s childhood studies begins with the view that studies of children’s impairment are not studies of their childhoods. Disabled children’s childhood studies demands ethical research practices that position disabled children and young people at the centre of the inquiry outside of the shadow of perceived ‘norms’. The Palgrave Handbook of Disabled Children’s Childhood Studies will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, as well as practitioners in health, education, social work and youth work.

Book Synopsis Inclusive Education Across Cultures by : Mithu Alur
Download or read book Inclusive Education Across Cultures written by Mithu Alur and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive Education across Cultures: Crossing Boundaries, Sharing Ideas brings together multiple perspectives through multiple voices to present a compelling case for inclusive practices, across boundaries in different areas of inclusive education, ranging from policy initiatives to practices on the ground level and advocating and creating awareness. The book is about crossing those false boundaries - north / south, disabled / abled, academic / practitioner, parents / teachers. It encourages the divides we experience, whether they be system or role based, to be bridged. The editors utilize examples that are explicitly disability focused and at the same time present a vision of inclusion that is about societal reform. If we can successfully provide education to our most vulnerable children, the education of all children will improve. One of the main features of the book is the diversity that it portrays. Contributors from around the world have used their knowledge and unique perspectives to provide current research, policies, views, and opinions. Such multiple perspectives helps obtain a global perspective on people with disabilities and inclusion.

Book Synopsis Tonga Livelihoods in Rural Zimbabwe by : Kirk Helliker
Download or read book Tonga Livelihoods in Rural Zimbabwe written by Kirk Helliker and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive original fieldwork, this book examines the complex and diverse livelihoods of Zimbabwe’s Tonga people as they have developed over time, including in the wake of the country’s post- 2000 political and economic crises. Despite being endowed with natural resources, the northwest region of Zimbabwe inhabited by the Tonga people is one of the most marginalised and underdeveloped parts of the country, neglected by both colonial and postcolonial governments. The Tonga- speaking people are a minority ethnic group that settled on either side of the Zambezi River around 1100 AD and remain deeply dependent on the river for their socio- economic livelihoods. This book reflects on the challenges faced by the Tonga people, from poor infrastructure, health and education facilities, to the issues caused by soil infertility and extremely low rainfall, which have been exacerbated by climate change. Many Tonga people were displaced by the construction of the Kariba Dam in the 1950s, and their access to the region’s natural resources has been restricted by successive governments. Showcasing the research of Zimbabwean scholars in particular, this book not only reflects on the vulnerabilities faced by the Tonga, but it also looks beyond these, to the livelihood practices that are thriving despite these challenges, and the ways in which livelihoods intertwine with Tonga culture and society more broadly. Overall, this book highlights the resilience of the Tonga people in the face of years of politico- economic crisis and will be an important contribution to research on livelihoods, ethnic minorities and rural development in Africa.

Download or read book Becoming Tongan written by Helen Morton and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first detailed account of growing up in Tonga, Helen Morton focuses on the influence of anga fakatonga ("the Tongan way") in all facets of Tongan childhood, from the antenatal period to late adolescence. Childhood is a crucial period when cultural identity and notions of tradition are constructed, as well as beliefs about self, personhood, and emotion. Based on her anthropological fieldwork and her experiences in Tonga over several years, Morton traces the Tongan socialization process—from being vale (ignorant, socially incompetent) to becoming poto (clever, socially competent)—in fascinating detail. The socialization of emotion is also given detailed attention, especially the management of anger and emphasis on emotional restraint.

Book Synopsis The Developing Child in the 21st Century by : Sandra Smidt
Download or read book The Developing Child in the 21st Century written by Sandra Smidt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a sociocultural approach to education and learning, this fascinating exploration of childhood provides an in-depth understanding of how children make sense of the world and the people in it. Examining the ways in which children express their thoughts, feelings and actively generate meaning through experience and interaction, this fully revised and updated new edition is illustrated throughout by extensive case studies and covers a diverse range of topics, including: socio-historical and global child development over time and place; the child as meaning-maker and active learner; learning in the context of family, culture, group, society; representing and re-representing the world; understanding roles, identity, race and gender; making sense of science and technology; the implications of neuroscience. Taking a clearly articulated and engaging perspective, Sandra Smidt draws upon multiple sources and ideas to illustrate many of the facets of the developing child in a contemporary context. She depicts children as symbol users, role-players, investigators and creative thinkers, and follows children's progress in forming their understanding of their environment, asking questions about it, and expressing it through music, dance, art and constructive play. Highly accessible, and with points for reflection concluding each chapter, The Developing Child is essential reading for teachers, lecturers and students taking courses in early childhood, psychology or sociology.
