When integrating generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education, a critical evaluation of alignment with policies, professional development, and classroom practices is essential. This examination extends to assessing the effectiveness of strategies concerning the principles of Te Kanorautanga, Te Tangata, and Te Rangatiratanga domains as outlined by the Ministry of Education. The focus is on incorporating Māori aspirations and lived experiences in GenAI guidelines and learning materials to support a cohesive and culturally responsive approach in the classroom.
Emphasising Te Tangata highlights the importance of creating an educational environment free from racism, discrimination, and stigma, promoting inclusivity and combatting systemic biases. The principle of Te Rangatiratanga calls for empowering Māori communities, involving them in decision-making processes and respecting their cultural autonomy.
The critical evaluation aims to identify culturally responsive leadership practices for the successful implementation of the GenAI project. Additionally, within the framework of Ka Hikitia, collaboration with whānau, iwi, and Māori communities is crucial. GenAI, including platforms like ChatGPT, can contribute to respectful collaborations by providing individualised support, facilitating communication, and tailoring resources to meet the unique cultural and learning needs of Māori learners. This approach ensures that the integration of GenAI aligns with culturally responsive practices, fostering an inclusive and empowering educational environment.
