3 –Tupuranga - Maui Studios  Characters – Te Miri, Rā, and Kiri Te Miri, Rā, and Kiri are sitting outside the marae chatting. English Te Reo Māori Rā - Kiri, can you please explain to me how the Hangarau Matihiko has been strengthened? I am hoping to expand my business over the next few years, and I’d like to know what kind of skills and understanding the people I employ might have. Rā – E Kiri, tēnā whakamāramahia mai i pēhea te whakakaha i te Hangarau Matihiko? E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakawhānui i taku pakihi i roto i ēnei tau e heke iho nei, ka mutu kia mōhio anō ahau he aha ngā pūkenga me ngā māramatanga me whai pea i te hunga ka mahi māku. Kiri - Ka pai. So the Hangarau Matihiko sits within the Hangarau learning area and so the two achievement objectives within Hangarau still apply to Hangarau Matihiko and they are Ngā Āhuatanga o te hangarau and Te Whakaharatau Hangarau. Kiri – Ka pai. Nā, kei roto te Hangarau Matihiko i te wāhanga akoranga Hangarau, nō reira ka hāngai tonu ngā whāinga paetae e rua i roto i te Hangarau ki te Hangarau Matihiko, ā, koinā Ngā Āhuatanga o te Hangarau me Te Whakaharatau Hangarau. Rā - (nodding) OK Rā – (e tūnounou ana) Āe Kiri - So, Hangarau Matihiko is one of the 5 learning strands within the Hangarau and it is only this part that has been strengthened. Kiri – Nā, ko te Hangarau Matihiko tētahi o ngā aho akoranga e rima i roto i te Hangarau, ana koinei anake te wāhanga i whakakahatia. Te Miri - So how does Whakaaro Rorohiko and Tangata me te Rorohiko fit into all this? Te Miri – Nō reira, ka pēhea te uru mai o te Whakaaro Rorohiko me te Tangata me te Rorohiko ki roto i tēnei? Kiri - Hangarau Matihiko has two frameworks called Anga Tupuranga o Hangarau Matihiko. One progress outcome framework is called Te Tupuranga Whakaaro Rorohiko and the other is called Te Tupuranga Tangata me te Rorohiko. Kiri – E rua ngā pou tarāwaho o te Hangarau Matihiko e kīia ana ko te Anga Tupuranga o Hangarau Matihiko. Ko tētahi pou tarāwaho putanga anga whakamua ko Te Tupuranga Whakaaro Rorohiko, ā, ko tētahi atu ko Te Tupuranga Tangata me te Rorohiko. Rā - so if these are frameworks, then there must be some kind of system inside them? Rā – Nō reira, mēnā he pou tarāwaho ēnei, ko te tikanga he pūnaha kei roto? Kiri - Yes, there is. There are progressions and these align to the learning levels across the Hangarau learning area. Kiri – Āna, koinā. He anga whakamua kei roto, ka mutu e hāngai ana ēnei ki ngā taumata akoranga puta noa i te wāhanga akoranga Hangarau. Rā - are the skills listed in the progressions what the students learn? Rā – Ko ngā pūkenga e rārangi ana i roto i ngā anga whakamua ngā mea ka ako ngā ākonga? Kiri - Yes, they are like milestones of understanding and skills. There are 8 progressions in Whakaaro Rorohiko and 5 progressions in Tangata me te Rorohiko. Kiri – Āe, koinā ngā tohu nui o te māramatanga me ngā pūkenga. E waru ngā anga whakamua i roto i te Whakaaro Rorohiko, ā, e rima ngā anga whakamua kei te Tangata me te Rorohiko. Rā - over how long do those progressions span? Rā – E hia te awhe o aua anga whakamua? Kiri - they span over the all the learning levels of the Hangarau learning area, so over the 13 years a student is at school. Kiri – Ka uru katoa mai ngā taumata akoranga katoa ki te awhe o te wāhanga akoranga Hangarau, arā mō ngā tau tekau mā toru e haere ana te ākonga ki te kura. Te Miri - So how would a teacher combine achievement objectives and progressions or are they taught separately? Te Miri – Nō reira, ka pēhea te whakahiato mai a te Kaiako i ngā whāinga paetae katoa, he wehe kē rānei te whakaako i ērā? Kiri - Teachers are encouraged to develop teaching and learning programmes that use a combination of Achievement Objectives and Progressions, depending on the theme or kaupapa being delivered. Kiri – E whakatītinahia ana ngā Kaiako ki te waihanga i ngā kaupapa whakaako me te ako e whakahiato ana i Ngā Whāinga Paetae me Ngā Anga Whakamua, e ai ki te kaupapa e whakaratoa ana. Rā - So when I employ someone in the future, who has qualifications in Hangarau Matihiko, then I can be confident that understand and possess all these skills?
