Discovery Indigenous Researchers Development - Grant ID: DI0560542

Funded Activity Summary

TOWARD ANANGU PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES TO TRANSMISSION OF KNOWLEDGE AND PARALLEL EDUCATIONAL PARADIGMS: Song-cycle from senior women of the Antikirinya/Yankuntjatjara community. The need for understanding Anangu pedagogical approaches to transmission of knowledges is toward an Australian priority to develop schooling that upholds Indigenous interests. The structure of the project calls for a comprehensive literature review and data collection via interviews around Anangu Song-Cycle. While others researchers have touched upon Song-Cycles, in depth-analysis of the specific context of Anangu Song-Cycles are largely unexamined. To date there have been no analysis conducted by Anangu academics themselves. The implementation of the research findings will have implications for Anangu communities in the changing way schools construct curricula and knowledge transmission for Anangu.
