| description | Abstract
In the bi-cultural context of Aotearoa (New Zealand),
engagement with stakeholders that is transparent and
culturally responsive is a priority for educational
research. More common research approaches in New Zealand
have followed a Western euro-centric model of engagement
with research participants resulting in interventions and
initiatives that have not necessarily served the needs of
the education sector. The authors critically analyse the
researcher relationship with research participants to
provide a Māori perspective to guide the engagement process
as researchers enter educational communities to conduct
research. Embedded with Māori ideology and knowledge, the
Hei Korowaiethical research framework is a
platform for insider positionality that acknowledges
partnership between the researcher and the researched for
the benefit of knowledge development and the educational
sector.
