In 1971 a National workshop on Aboriginal Education was held in
Brisbane.
*

’’The National Workshop on Aboriginal Education, Priorities for Action
and Research¹¹ (Ed., B. Watts) . Nfuch of the thrust was addressed to
tradition-oriented situations.

The Cultural context of Aboriginal
Education.

Mandel and Flanders (1975), in an article entitled "Teacher’s achievement
expectations of and classroom interactions with ethnically different
students" (Contemporary Education, Vol. XLVI, No. ʒ, Spring, 1975),
discussed 'naturalistic factors' as being potent determinants of
teacher expectation.

Watts’ and Mandel and Flanders’ writings were analysed to isolate
issues which related to education in a tradition-oriented situation.
Interview questions were then derived from this analysis.

STRUCTURING OF INTERVIEW AREAS AT STRELLEY

In view of the necessity to map the world of meaning with which
individuals interact to form their identity, the 'world’ of the Aboriginal
person was first examined as it is found in research literature, with
special reference to educational settings. In particular, Watts (1971)
and Mandel and Flanders (1975) provided research material appropriate
to a tradition-oriented situation. Issues to be discussed and questions
to be asked were drawn from an analysis of the literature.
