Maori Challenges to Mainstream Education. Case Study of Native Schools in New Zealand
Kulhánková, Jana ; Moravcová, Mirjam (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee) ; Šatava, Leoš (referee)
This study gives an overview of the development of Maori forms of education in New Zealand and situates them within the realm of cultural revitalization. Secondly, it reflects the meaning of the education in Maori language and culture from the perspective of teachers and parents in Maori schools. The focus is on the contemporary Maori schools where Maori language is the medium of communication and Maori cultural values, knowledge, and customs are the norm. Since they are actively pursuing the goal of revitalizing and perpetuating Maori culture and language, these schools represent a symbol of Maori identity. My study refers to the existing research as well as to my continual field work in a kohanga reo kindergarten, and numerous visits to a bilingual unit and a kura kaupapa school in Dunedin, New Zealand. Rather than finding new facts, I attempt to examine the workings of a particular institution, and process of cultural learning and maintaining culture through learning Maori language. I come from the sociocultural approach to learning, in which cultural socialization parallels the language learning techniques utilised in kohanga reo. Eventually, this helps building one's cultural awareness and self-esteem. What are the particular techniques and activities ensuring this process of cultural...

Healing Aboriginal Women - Emerging and Changing Culture of Indigenous Australians.
Kulhánková, Jana ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Novotný, Stanislav (referee)
This is a study of how an Aboriginal women's community organisation engages in revitalisation of traditional Australian Indigenous culture in urban context. I will address the principles of a women's Indigenous Family Care Centre, Kummara, in Brisbane (Queensland) where I volunteered, and conducted an ethnographic research. Kummara is based on family care, strengthening of women's business, and reconnecting Aboriginal women to their cultural role. The organisation addresses the consequences of the Stolen generations which was a forcible separation of Aboriginal children from their families, their re-education and Christianisation for the duration of 50 years (1910-1969) of Australian history. My thesis is that Aboriginal women practicing family care and women's spirituality in Kummara contribute to revitalisation of traditional Indigenous culture. This occurs mainly in education of children and young people (implementing rites of passage and parental programs), and in reconnecting to the traditional role of women in family, community and in spiritual life. In the Aboriginal context of health, the women in Kummara engage in a process of cultural, spiritual and emotional healing. They have adapted their ways of doing this to modern society and have been influenced by different Western and other cultural...

KULHÁNKOVÁ, Jana
Nowadays people with light mental disability are preparing for their future career mainly in apprentice vocational schools and in two-year remedial practical schools. Competence which should be gained during studies is defined in Curriculum which is in obedience to Law No.561/2004 of Legal Code, Education Law, Ministry of Education System, Youth and Sports. Acquired output competence could help graduates to find employment in a protected labour market or ideally in an open labour market. However, people with light mental disability count among the group of people that is strongly endangered by unemployment. The reason of that fact could be, like in case of other groups endangered by unemployment, an insufficient personality or vocational training. Purposeful educational activities, for example retraining courses or job clubs financed or organized by job centres, are the solution to this situation. The group of disabled people is very specific, that is why we have to follow special educational methods and it is necessary to adapt a content and organization. These activities should be realized by remedial teachers. The goal of the thesis is to suggest ways of remedial teaching support in the area of employment of light mental disabled people. To reach the goal of the thesis, it is necessary to define the target group and characterize its specific in the area of education and social integration that is connected with opportunity and ability of finding employment. The specific feature of mental development is slower data processing, insufficiently developed logical thinking, worsened memory, short-term attention, worsened ability of analysis and synthesis, difficulties with understanding of expressive part of speech, emotional instability, insufficient willingness. In social area there are difficulties with making and maintaining social contacts, problems with understanding of social roles, complicated building of own identity and social status, danger of stigma of disabled people. To meet the goal of the thesis - to suggest ways of remedial teaching support in the area of employment of light mental disabled people, the further part of the thesis deals with vocational training of the target group, which is mainly educated in apprentice vocational schools and two-year remedial practical schools. Both types of schools are briefly characterized and then the key and vocational competence defined in Curriculum, which should be gained by graduates, is specified. There is competence of learning, competence of solving problems, communicative, social and personal competence, civic competence, work (employment) competence, in apprentice vocational schools also mathematical competence and competence of information and communication technology and dealing with information. Vocational competence is defined according to the type of school and in apprentice vocational schools the vocational competence is defined in according to the branch of study. The third part of the thesis is focused on importance of employment as the main motivational element for the light mental disabled people. The present forms of specific employment support, which deepen competence and follow in competence gained in mentioned schools and so it is important in the system of vocational training, are described. It is about supported employment, transit program and job clubs.
