RauruWhakarareEvaluation Framework
The Rauru Whakarare Evaluation Framework provides a kaupapa Māori-informed approach to evaluation.
The Māori concepts contain an embedded spirituality and metaphor that is often lost in a purely literal English translation. The framework embodies the interconnectedness of the following elements:
- Whakapapa – The background
- Orokohanga – The origins
- Mana – The authority
- Māramatanga – The content
- Aronga – The lens
The Framework
This pattern is a visual depiction of how information evaluation is not a linear process. To establish which information can be trusted, multiple strategies must be woven together.
We recommend looking at the Rauru Whakarare Framework and descriptors This unpacks each of the terms and offer suggestions for how to answer the questions posed in the framework.
