In 1996 a national survey was undertaken of 24 Maori members of the Association of Staff in Tertiary Education in New Zealand. It followed an earlier study and sought to investigate further the workloads of Maori staff members and related issues. The research process gave fundamental priority to ensuring culturally appropriate research practices. Analysis of survey responses identified three major themes: institutional racism, work environment, and time and tasks. Section 1 presents the study's five recommendations, such as official acknowledgment by senior management in polytechnics, schools/colleges of education, and rural adult education programs, that Maori staff perform additional duties specific to the cultural values and beliefs of their group. Section 2 examines the aims and aspirations of Maori in institutions, and personal aims and aspirations for Maori education. Section 3 presents key findings concerning issues of cultural and institutional racism, work environment, and time and tasks. Section 4 is a quantitative analysis, with data on occupational details, student/staff interactions and instruction, and workload issues. Section 5 provides background information, including a discussion of previous research, the research methodology, the research participants, and additional data analysis. The final section is a reflection on the research process. Appended is the bilingual survey questionnaire. (Contains 19 references.) (DB)
