The teaching and learning principles of metropolitan Aborigines with diabetes
Abstract:
This study was undertaken at a leading Aboriginal health agency in Adelaide called Nunkuwarrin Yunti (King & Wilson 1998). One of the aims not previously reported involved identifying the way that metropolitan Aborigines prefer to learn about their diabetes management. An ethnographic approach was used to interview ten Aboriginal health professionals and four clients (n = 14) about this topic. The results indicated the worldview held by metropolitan Aborigines about diabetes health care, the Aboriginal learner, beliefs about teaching and learning, the characteristics of an effective teacher and a suggested teaching plan.
