Ua Aoina le Manogi o le Lolo: Pasifika Schooling Improvement Research - Summary Report
Publication Details
The Schooling Improvement team of the Ministry of Education sought to examine the current state of Pasifika academic achievement in Schooling Improvement initiatives and in individual schools. Part of the examination was to identify aspects of Schooling Improvement (SI) work that has been shown to enhance or hinder academic achievement for Pasifika students and to offer some recommendations. This report is a summary of a detailed technical report from Auckland UniServices Limited prepared by the Woolf Fisher Research Centre. Details of each of the sections summarised here are contained in ‘Ua aoina le manogi o le lolo: Pasifika Schooling Improvement Full Technical Report’ (Amituanai-Toloa, McNaughton, Lai, & Airini, 2009).

10. Summary of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Survey
- There were no significant correlations between the PCK total scores and any of the achievement measures or with teacher demographics.
- There was considerable variation between schools and sections (e.g. the section on identifying teaching moves and explaining what could be done differently was higher than the section on analysing and applying STAR data).
- There were some significant positive relationships between PCK scores and features of teachers such as position in the school and teacher qualifications. There were also some positive and negative relationships between sub sections and features of teachers.
- Secondary teachers had higher average scores than primary teachers PCK. But there was variation between sections within some schools.
