ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a set of practical recommendations, or principles, to support curriculum development in heritage education. It explores the concept of principles for incorporating values and raising awareness. It advocates this approach for respecting cultural heritage, so linking previous discussions on ethics and values, and seeks to apply it to specific intracultural and intercultural contexts. The chapter deals with the presentation of an original Taxonomy for Respecting Heritage and Values, and offers some examples of potential intended learning outcomes (ILOs). The idea of partnership is also strongly represented in kaupapa Mori, the principles and ideas that provide a foundational philosophy for appropriate actions. Grounded within Mori society, with links to the Treaty of Waitangi, Kaupapa Maori is a discourse that has emerged and is legitimated from within the Maori community'. In the design of formal learning programmes, it is also necessary to ensure measurable and reliable attainment of the intended learning.
