Abstract
The Kakala Research Framework, developed in 2006, is an extension of the Kakala Framework, originally designed by Konai Helu (Thaman, (1997). Kakala: A Pacific concept of teaching and learning. Paper presented at the Australian College of Education National Conference, Cairns). The original Kakala framework was based on Helu Thaman’s conceptualisation of teaching and learning. It was intended to encourage Pacific students to articulate theories from their perspectives and to recognise Pacific world views in their thinking and learning.
