Curriculum Matters. 5. 5-24.1177-1828https://hdl.handle.net/10092/102384This article outlines the research methodology and some key findings from my doctoral research project (Manning, 2008), which examined the status of Te Atiawa histories of place in Port Nicholson Block secondary schools' history classes. It describes the research participants' experiences of cultural continuity and discontinuity experienced in familial and secondary school settings when learning about the past. It also describes the participants' history topic preferences, and their perceptions of the benefits and barriers in relation to a potential place-based education partnership between local Te Atiawa people and the participating schools. Two metaphors are developed to help conclude this article. I conclude that New Zealand history teachers often deliver an enacted curriculum, contradicting the objectives of the official New Zealand curriculum and the principles of the Treaty of WaitangienAll rights reserved unless otherwise statedJournal Article2021-06-271302 Curriculum and PedagogyFields of Research::39 - Education::3901 - Curriculum and pedagogy::390102 - Curriculum and pedagogy theory and developmentFields of Research::39 - Education::3901 - Curriculum and pedagogy::390107 - Humanities and social sciences curriculum and pedagogy (excl. economics, business and management)Fields of Research::39 - Education::3903 - Education systems::390306 - Secondary educationFields of Research::43 - History, heritage and archaeology::4303 - Historical studies::430320 - New Zealand historyFields of Research::43 - History, heritage and archaeology::4303 - Historical studies::430313 - History of empires, imperialism and colonialismFields of Research::39 - Education::3902 - Education policy, sociology and philosophy::390299 - Education policy, sociology and philosophy not elsewhere classifiedNga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Mātauranga | Education::Waihanga | Teaching methods::Kura tuarua | Kura kāreti; Education, Secondary school (Mainstream); Schools, Secondary (Mainstream); Secondary school education (Mainstream); Secondary schools (Mainstream)Nga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Mātauranga | Education::Mōhiotanga | Knowledge::Ako | Learning::Ariā whakaako | Āhuatanga ako; PedagogyNga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings::Whakapapa | Family history; Genealogy; History, Family; Kinship; Relationships; Wakapapa
