Tātou Tātou was a qualitative research project, funded by Ako Aotearoa National Centre for Tertiary Teaching Excellence, involving Māori students within medicine, health sciences, pharmacy and nursing in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at The University of Auckland. Tātou Tātou was Indigenous-led via Te Kupenga Hauora Māori (the Department of Māori Health) in collaboration with non-Indigenous academic representatives from the Schools of Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences who worked alongside the Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme (MAPAS) student support staff.
The project explored the ways in which non-lecture teaching and learning helps or hinders Māori student success. It aimed to foreground the Indigenous student voice and provide recommendations in a toolkit for quality tertiary teaching to better support Māori students to succeed in their study within health disciplines.
