The 25th annual HÂþ» Conference on University Teaching and Learning (DCUTL) aims to promote the importance of university teaching and learning among faculty, staff, and graduate students. It is both a showcase for current research and practices and an opportunity to foster new ideas and projects. The 2023 conference will take place May 3 and 4 and the theme is:
Mawitam’k (Being Together): How can the the 5R’s of Indigenous Education— Respect, Responsibility, Relevance, Reciprocity, Relationships, Help Us to Imagine, Build, Nourish, and Sustain Teaching and Learning Communities
“Respect, responsibility, relevance, and reciprocityâ€, introduced by Kirkness and Barnhardt (2001), describe principles of Indigenous education that can guide and be applied to, Indigenization and Indigenous-student support efforts within post-secondary institutions. The fifth R, “relationshipsâ€, was later adopted to form the Five R’s of Indigenous education (Restoule et al. 2018)
While constructed to support Indigenous learners, the 5 R’s can be applied within multiple teaching and learning contexts including (but not limited to) student-centred learning, culturally relevant pedagogies, internationalization, and online pedagogies. The 5 R’s, when applied to all learning spaces, course design, structure, and delivery, create learning opportunities that support individual growth and emphasize all students’ holistic well-being. This furthers the goal of truly Indigenizing and decolonizing our institutions.
