building bridges in indigenizing education: digital narratives as a means of shifting non-indigenous teacher horizons towards relationality
abstract
this thesis was developed in response to the pressing need to find methods for non-indigenous
teachers to actively teach for indigenous student resilience, and to center indigenous 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and
their families in an education system which consistently marginalizes and silences them
(canadian council on learning 2009; dion, 2009). digital narratives are explored as a means to
address this need. through the use of teacher research and photovoice i answer two research
questions: how can non-indigenous teachers use multimedia expression to shift their
horizons in order to better understand and support the resilient identities and academic
potential of indigenous youth? and, what can these youth teach these educators about
indigenous identity and self-determination in school and canadian society? analysis of a
variety of data sources, which included in-service and pre-service teacher interviews,
autoethnographic journals, and indigenous 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
’ digital narratives (imovies), revealed six
thematic ways in which 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
’ digital narratives, and the process of creating them, shifted
teachers towards a more relational stance with their 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and centered student voice in the
classroom. in theorizing the outcomes of this study i interpret these themes as bridges. these
pathways facilitate dialogue and encourage relationship to be built between indigenous 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
and non-indigenous. these bridges include 1) intrinsically valuing technology as a teaching tool,
2) reciprocation and authentic relationship, 3) collaboration, 4) student self–representation, 5)
student demonstration of knowledge, and, 6) record of student strengths. the findings of this
thesis provide a rich example of how digital narratives can be used in the classroom to move
towards an indigenized approach in education, support indigenous 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
’ self-determination
in schools and encourage relationality, a stance of acknowledging and moving towards better
relations by recognizing a shard humanity and future (donald, 2012), between settler-canadian
teachers and indigenous 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
