A theoretical perspective of learning in the Pacific context: A sociocultural perspective

Abstract: This theoretical article discusses the importance of learning approaches in sociocultural contexts. Our discussion synthesizes previous empirical research studies, taking into consideration the importance of individuals" cultural background and environmental settings. Research studies by Marton and Saljo (1976) and others (Biggs, 1987;Watkins & Regmi, 1990) have provided a strong theoretical foundation concerning the approaches to learning that individuals adopt in their learning. More recently, a number of t… Show more

“…Notable throughout the student responses was the emphasis on listening as an action that indicated that an individual was behaving in a respectful manner. This aligns with previous research (e.g., Phan, 2010;Uehara et al, 2018) which has focused on how respect as a value is demonstrated by Pāsifika people. The Pāsifika tertiary students in Hawaii in the study by Uehara and colleagues noted how respect is enacted through humility, including listening and waiting to be told what to do when learning a new activity.…”

“…There are also calls for studies on how CL is implemented with attention to classrooms' sociocultural and historical contexts, especially with the position of CL as a Western pedagogical method and a manifestation of educational neocolonialism (see Nguyen, Elliott, Terlouw, & Pilot, 2009). Additionally, research that portrays the affordances of students' culture for inducing learning is scant (e.g., Loh & Teo, 2017;Phan, 2010). These areas of inquiry are needed to understand how to implement CL in a way that suits the world views, values, norms, and cultures of both teachers and students.…”

“…Asyalı ve Avusturyalı öğrenciler üzerinde belirtilen görüşün gerçeği yansıtıp yansıtmadığını belirlemek üzere çalışan Biggs (1991), Asyalı öğrencilerin daha yüzeysel öğrendiğini gösterecek bir kanıt bulunmadığını belirtmiştir. Phan (2010) da öğrenme yaklaşımlarının öğrencilerin geçmiş öğrenme yaşantılarından ve içinde bulundukları sosyo kültürel ortamın yarattığı özelliklerden etkilendiğini araştırmasında vurgulamıştır. Bu durum da elde edinilen sonuçların içinde bulunulan kültürel bağlamda derinlemesine bir analize tabii tutulmasının önemli olduğunun altını çizmektedir.…”

“…Alanda çalışan kuramcıların üzerinde özellikle durduğu bir başka boyut da öğrenme yaklaşımlarının kültürel ve toplumsal yapılarla ilintisidir (Baumgart ve Halse, 1999;Niles, 1996). Yapılan çalışmalar öğrenme kavramlarının kültürel etkilerle ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir (Biggs, 1991;Boekaerts, 2003;Kusalanont, 2006;Liem, 2006;Phan, 2010;Woodrow ve Sham, 2001). Watkins (2000) de buradan hareketle, yapılacak her türlü eğitim reformunun, sistemi bir bütün olarak ele almadan gerçekleşemeyeceğini, bu noktada en önemli boyutlardan birinin de içinde bulunulan kültürel yapı olduğunu, öğrenme yaklaşımlarının da bu bağlamda ele alınması gerektiğini belirtmektedir.…”
