Values at the heart of every session
The Kia Hākinakina approach follows Hellison's (1973) five-stepped Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model (TPSR).
Hellison's model of social responsibility
Aligning with Hellison's approach, values are incorporated into all aspects of activation.
Irresponsibility
Ākonga are unmotivated, and their behaviour might include interrupting, verbal abuse, intimidation and 'putting down' others.
Self Control
Ākonga may not participate fully, but control their behaviour enough not to disrupt the rights of others to learn and participate.
Involvement
Ākonga are actively involved in the subject matter, and are willing to try new activities.
Self Responsibility
Ākonga are able to work without supervision and increasingly take responsibility for their own actions.
Caring
Ākonga extend their sense of responsibility by cooperating, giving support, showing concern and helping others.
Encouraged, praised and reflected on
Kia Hākinakina community delivery and support is structured to encourage all and praise the use of values, which are inherent in the play and physical activity designs.
- At the end of each session, time is allowed for reflection and evaluation with a focus on these values.
- We want to see these values brought to life within each offering.
- We're driven to see these values expand into the wider community: family, whānau, and more.
This last piece, the fifth step in Hellison's approach, can be the most difficult, but is achievable with the right partnerships and focus.
