‘The same as everyone else’: how academically successful indigenous secondary school students respond to a hidden curriculum of settler silencing

Racism and Indigenous Adolescent Development: A Scoping Review

“…However, like covert racism, this was aggregated with scores on their personal discrimination subscale for predictive analyses. Finally, one study (MacDonald, 2019) included internalized racism, whereby Māori girls reported attributing academic failure and selfdepreciating comments to being Māori.…”

“…However, descriptive data from the PDM from Chen (2003) and Whitbeck et al (2001) suggested relative equivalence in the frequency of experiences of overt racist acts (e.g., racial slurs) and covert racist acts (e.g., being followed in shops or teacher surprise at academic competency). Structural racism was largely acknowledged in the qualitative studies (Hare & Pidgeon, 2011;MacDonald, 2019;Quijada Cerecer, 2013;Schinke et al, 2010;Zinga & Gordon, 2016) by highlighting the systemic exclusion of Indigenous perspectives and the over-pathologizing of Indigenous students in school contexts. Only one quantitative study (Bodkin-Andrews et al, 2010b) included a measure of "Macro-Discrimination" (e.g., "Other Australians do not care about the hardships faced by people of my culture").…”

“…Identity and selfesteem. An additional four studies (Bodkin-Andrews et al, 2010aGalliher et al, 2011;Macdonald, 2019) tested associations between racism and selfesteem, selfconcept, or identity. Surprisingly, Bodkin-Andrews et al (2010a found perceived discrimination was not associated with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescents' selfesteem and Galliher et al (2011) found few longitudinal effects of perceived discrimination on Native American adolescents' selfesteem and social functioning.…”

However, in Macdonald's (2019) qualitative study, M aori participants struggled to connect with their Indigenous identity in schooling embedded in Eurocentric notions of academic success.…”

Classroom Culture When Students are Reluctant to Learn Online: Student Dissent Behaviors Explained by Their Self-Efficacy, Control of Learning, and Intrinsic Motivation

“…Previous works indicate that differences in racial and socioeconomic backgrounds influence experiences in the classroom (Howard, 2018;Thomas, 2019;Horse and Nakagawa, 2020), as does curriculum (MacDonald, 2019;Small, 2020). Future research should examine how these factors influence classroom culture and student perceptions of their ability to succeed.…”
