رویکردها به آموزش بومیان در کانادا: جستجوی راه‌حل‌ها

In the crucial discussion of Aboriginal education in Canada, there are two distinct schools of thought: parallelism and integrationism. For the first time in one volume, leading thinkers on both sides share their perspectives, allowing readers to examine this complex and emotionally charged issue from all angles. Parallelism argues for Aboriginal self-determination and independent schools with Aboriginal values at their core, while integrationism advocates improving Aboriginal educational achievement within the conventional system. Both sides share the same goal, however: supporting and helping to realize the vast store of untapped potential in Aboriginal communities. Everyone agrees that Aboriginal education in Canada urgently needs improvement. A vigorous and informed debate can only speed the search for solutions. "This timely publication brings diverse perspectives on aboriginal education together in one volume, providing readers a context with which to understand and consider them. These approaches are juxtaposed to encourage critical analysis of the different assumptions underlying proposals for improving aboriginal education. There are two general categories of perspectives explored in the book - parallelist and integrationist approaches. Nine essays are provided as examples of parallelist thinking. They all argue, to varying degrees, that Aboriginal autonomy and control over education, as well as the revitalization of Aboriginal traditions, is necessary for Aboriginal education to be improved. Integrationist approaches, on the other hand, assume that solutions to Aboriginal problems lie in facilitating native participation in the Canadian educational system and workforce. These approaches, represented by nine articles, are informed by both liberalism and political economy. The book concludes with two dialogues between parallelist and integrationist approaches. These exchanges are intended to uncover how the different approaches respond to arguments and assumptions that are oppositional to their own. The book ends with a rebuttal from a parallelist perspective. As parallelism is the dominant approach being articulated with respect to Aboriginal education policy, it is important that this perspective be given the last word. Approaches to Aboriginal Education in Canada is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in attempting to understand the complexity of Aboriginal issues. Solutions can be found only by understanding the root causes of problems, and the book provides critical thinkers with a starting point in this important conversation." -- Site web de l'éditeur
