Developing culturally responsive psychology curriculum in Aotearoa New Zealand

Abstract

There are some significant wins in the development of a culturally competent undergraduate psychology curriculum in Aotearoa New Zealand. These include how Mātauranga Māori is incorporated into research methodology papers, neuroimaging papers, and degree offerings. However, the number of specifically Māori-focused papers has halved since 2007. Further research is needed to gauge students' experiences of the quality of cultural competency in these papers.
