Approaches to Indigenous Topics, Issues and Perspectives in Teacher Education
Teacher educators have a pivotal role in training student teachers up to have competence in indigenous topics, issues and perspectives. This is particularly important to prevent discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypical views of indigenous people, and especially indigenous children. Teaching to promote indigenous values, practices and cultural knowledge often demands holistic and or interdisciplinary approaches, which are uncommon practices in higher education as well as in teacher education. Teacher educators with non-indigenous backgrounds may often feel hesitant to include indigenous perspectives due to their perceived lack of competence.
The aim of this Special Issue is to address how indigenous topics, issues and perspectives can be approached in teacher education. We are particularly interested in opportunities and challenges related to indigenous topics in teacher education (qualifying for work in early childhood education, primary and secondary education).
