1 Early Childhood Education at the Cultural Interface Marguerite Maher , Lisa Buxton , 2015 single work
— Appears in: The Australian Journal of Indigenous Education , August vol. 44 no. 1 2015; (p. 1-10)
'The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia emphasises that children’s own identity is constructed within their given context of family and community. This article presents the findings of a multiple case study project undertaken within five remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, Australia. Community Elders were concerned that while their children had a positive sense of self during their prior-to-school years, on entry into formal schooling they experienced a disjuncture between those experiences and the expectations of a Western curriculum.'
