The Perceptions of Knowledge and Learning of Amazonian Indigenous Teacher Education Students
Veintie, Tuija; Holm, Gunilla
Ethnography and Education, v5 n3 p325-343 Sep 2010
This study focuses on the perceptions of knowledge and learning by indigenous students in an intercultural bilingual teacher education programme in Amazonian Ecuador. The study framed within postcolonial and critical theory attempts to create a space for the indigenous students to speak about their own views through the use of photography and researcher-respondent discussions. We found that the students conceptualised knowledge and learning primarily through their everyday domestic life rather than through their experiences of schooling which appears to play a secondary role. (Contains 10 figures and 3 notes.)
