Te Whāriki & Early Years Learning Framework
A comparative study of New Zealand and Australia's Early Childhood Curriculum
Kaupapa Maori is a key theory of Te Whāriki
“Kaupapa Māori theory is drawn from Māori ways of knowing and being and assumes the normalcy of Māori knowledge, language and culture (Ministry of Education, 2017, 61)”.
Children are born with mana, they are competent no matter their age, or ability.
Reciprocity & Relationships
White & Mika (2013) state that teachers described their pedagogy “as a series of inter-subjective acts comprising mutual gazes, shared rituals, physical and emotional presence, and the constant seeking of cues through physical and verbal language” (101).
Educators build a strong relationship with infants and their families. Based on mutual respect, reciprocity and love.
Holistic Development
A holistic view of learning takes into account all aspects of development for the infant, toddler or child. "Human development can be thought of in terms of cognitive (hinengaro), physical (tinana), emotional (whatumanawa), spiritual (wairua), and social and cultural dimensions, but these dimensions need to be viewed holistically, as closely interwoven and interdependent" (Ministry of Education, 2017, p19).
Socio-cultural is a key theory in Early Years Learning Framework
The EYLF (2009) mentions that its inclusion of socio-cultural theories is to emphasise the importance of relationships, the role that families and culture play in children’s learning, as well as providing insights into social and cultural contexts of their development (DEEWR, p.12).
Children's families, culture and communities are an important part of their learning and development
Identity & Culture
Sumsion et al (2009) write that there was an intention to focus on children within the context of their families and communities (9). They also go on to say that they intended the EYLF “to highlight children’s active role in constructing their own social identities and shaping the identities of others” (DEEWR, 9).
Educators reflect on infants and toddlers' surrounding culture and families and how this affects identity.
Social and Emotional Development
Salamon (2011) argues that the EYLF can be used to help bring to light infants and toddlers social and emotional competence to help them reach their full potential. “The EYLF contains questions to reflect on which relate very clearly to critically unpacking beliefs around the social and emotional capabilities of infants and toddlers” (7).
