Theoretical Foundation I
Brian Evans, M.ed. (2011)
“This study explored the most effective methods of supporting Pacific boys in their secondary education and investigated what teaching practices lead to success.”
“e research specifically sought to identify what causes achievement in the classroom” (p.ii, both quotes)

“…it [is] the the nature and quality of the relationship between teacher and student
which drives achievement…” (p.83, underline mine)

Validating Pacific values, worldviews, knowledge, and
experience
Good teaching and learning practices for Pacifica students:
These may include but are not limited to:
•peer teaching and learning and group work
•experiential teaching strategies — using and validating students’ experiences, including practical hands-on experience; and illustrating points of discussion with real- life experiences
•incorporating Pacific models, symbols, metaphors, and visual aids into lectures and teaching
•participatory and student-centred teaching methods, including free-and-open discussion
•teaching strategies that engage both the mind (cognitive intelligence) and the heart (emotional intelligence). (p.4)
