Masters Zetian Geng (Tony)
No full textI will make a documentary project as director, camera operator and editor, which will focus on a family in Hamilton, New Zealand. This is my home stay family that I have been living with since coming to Hamilton and they have agreed to be the subjects of my documentary film..
The family is made up of a Chinese emigrant (the wife) and a kiwi (the husband). New Zealand is an immigrant nation, so many people from different countries and backgrounds move to New Zealand every year, because New Zealand provides many opportunities. However there are some challenges and problems waiting to happen and to be solved by those immigrants.Dislocation: at the beginning of most people’s immigration to New Zealand is that they are out of their original life circle. For example, immigrants all have different cultural backgrounds and lifestyles; on the other hand the mainstream culture in New Zealand is adapted from western cultures. Alienation: for immigrant people, they are far from their home and live in new different surroundings at same time. Integration: with the passage of time, these immigrants gradually integrate into their surroundings. How to live in New Zealand like a Kiwi could be another challenge for immigrants, and to keep their own cultural identity but bring their own style, such as join in with local activities with kiwis. Cultural differences: the couple in this family grew up in different cultural backgrounds, it inevitably produces conflict on some of the ideas and concepts, and how to resolve these contradictions will be a challenge

The year-long internship: Using real-world experience to mentor students towards a marketable skill set
Get PDFThis presentation explores how it may be possible to teach a full journalism skill set based around a series of projects with real-world outcomes. This approach reverses the common model of teaching students to the point where they are capable of working in industry, and instead teaches them "on the job". This year we used five training opportunities: Maadi Cup, Fieldays, internship, Aims Games and a book of student-written profiles
Pioneer Highway: new paintings by Tim Croucher. Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and History, Palmerston North. 18 July to 1 November 2015
No full textThe stretch from the Square, down Pioneer Highway, past Jackeytown Road, Karere Lagoon and out to Foxton, measured the centre of my early childhood. As I grew, my area expanded to include Shannon, Feilding, the Whirokino Trestle and river bank, the Pohongina Valley, and up to the Desert Road and Taupo. And, of course, to Wellington.
Between the late 1800s and 1940s, flax milling was a big industry in much of the area around Tiakitahuna. A substantial flax mill was located at the Opiki Bridge. We’d often drive across its creaking boards… it’s still a fascinating place to visit because of the spectre of its towers and the ragged wires that invite climbing.
Flax growing and milling altered the swampy landscape, enflamed tensions between Māori and colonials, encouraged the formation of trade unions, and polluted the Manawatū River.
Visiting Manawatū and Rangitikei now, I like that it’s all shifted and changed to accommodate current needs and amusements. The reminders are still there, but there are carparks, boat ramps, racetracks and ‘light no fires’ signs.
This exhibition comprises a suite of paintings that mingle historical, pastoral, and imaginary situations; it is a tender and playful reflection on a set of unglamorous yet peculiar locations and the identities that link to them
Analysing learners’ literacy and numeracy (LN) progress at Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec) for the period 2012-2014 (Two-page summary)
Get PDFBurgeoning literacy and numeracy assessment tool (LNAT) data: The LNAT has allowed the tertiary sector to amass significant LN assessment data since 2010.
National and local LN trends and profiles: Ministry of Education reports (Lane, 2012, 2014) serve as points of orientation, providing the sector with national findings for target populations’ LN performance, while tertiary providers manage and analyse LN data at local level.
LNAT data-extraction file layout as a barrier: LNAT data-extraction file layout, we concluded, was a significant barrier in managing and tracking learners’ LN performance at tertiary provider level.
Main aim of this project: The main aim was to explore ways of managing and analyzing LNAT assessment data generated at the institute, developing processes to track, analyse and interpret learners’ LN performance, with specific reference to Māori, Pasifika, New Zealand Pākeha and other ethnicities
