Research Description

The Success for All project sought to examine the ways in which non-lecture teaching helps or hinders Māori and Pasifika student success in preparing for or completing degree-level studies. Good practice was to be identified.

Research Questions

  • What teaching practices in non-lecture contexts help or hinder Māori and Pasifika success in degree-level study?
  • What changes does research in this area suggest are needed in order to best support Māori and Pasifika success in degree-level studies?
