Testing Ground: Investigating Indigenous Knowledge Programs and Indigenous Research Methodologies in Higher Education.

该项目将通过在土著问题教学中采用不分裂的土著知识方法，促进澳大利亚的社会凝聚力。土著知识研究是一种新的方法发展，将在许多跨文化背景下进行研究，包括识字和算术技能低的背景下。这种研究方法具有国家和社区意义，因为它通过跨群体的方法和建设社区参与、确定和实施自主解决方案的能力，在调查问题背景时促进社会凝聚力。这项研究将有助于在澳大利亚社会最边缘化的部门建立信息收集结构。

This project will contribute to Australian social cohesion through the non-divisive Indigenous Knowledge approach to the teaching of Indigenous issues. Indigenous Knowledge Research is a new methodological development that will afford research in many cross-cultural contexts including those where literacy and numeracy skills are low. This research methodology has national and community significance because it fosters social cohesion in investigating problematic contexts through methods that bridge across groups and build community capacities to engage, identify and implement self-owned solutions. This research will facilitate the instigation of informational gathering structures in the most marginalized sectors of the Australian community.
