| Title | Of gaps and bridges: educational challenges for the South Pacific | Author | Auxier, Clarence | Subject | Educational anthropology Students|Social conditions Teacher-student relationships | Abstract | This paper contributes to the dialogue regarding a perceived cultural gap in the learning experiences of South Pacific higher education students. The gap is suggested to be the conflict between students. home cultures at one pole, and a combination of globalisation, internalised colonisation, and the transition to tertiary education at the other pole. Culture is defined as a process of understanding, and the implication for interpersonal understanding between teachers and students is presented as a means for bridging the cultural gap in South Pacific higher education. | Volume/Year | Directions: Journal of Educational Studies vol.25, no.1-2, 2003 | Collation | 17-27; | Notes | • | | Filesize | 33112 bytes | File Format | PDF | Number of pages | 11 |
