2. Why and How Communities Learn by Observing and Pitching In: Indigenous Axiologies and Ethical Commitments in LOPI (Cómo y por qué las comunidades Aprenden por medio de Observar y Acomedirse: axiologías indígenas y compromisos éticos en el modelo LOPI)

Author

Elliott-Groves, Emma and Meixi

Abstract

Indigenous Knowledge Systems and their underlying ethical qualities guide social interaction and the process by which Indigenous children learn what it means to be a person within family and community life. Using the Learning by Observing and Pitching In (LOPI) framework as a starting point, this paper explores a case study of a death in the Cowichan Tribes community to illuminate four ethical qualities (relationality, reciprocity, responsibility, respect) associated with (1) the social organization of the community guided by a sense of community consciousness and (2) Indigenous concepts of time and space. Using the social organization of the community and Indigenous concepts of time and space as broad themes, we aim to illustrate how culturally determined ethical qualities guide every social interaction and thus inform human development and learning, broadly. By including ethics that guide social relationships in the LOPI framework, educators and researchers may gain a deeper understanding of how children learn in communities and how their participation in community activities informs their sense of self.

Author

Pacific Telecommunications Council, Honolulu, HI., Wedemeyer, Dan J., and Bissell, Mary Sue

Abstract

More than 60 papers presented at the 1987 Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) conference on telecommunications needs, primarily in and around the Pacific region, are included in this volume. Contributions from major industry user groups, governments, developmental institutions, and the small user are represented. Four keynote addresses open the proceedings: (1) "The New Zealand Communications Environment: Goals, Demands, Pressures" (Jonathan Hunt); (2) "Consolidating Communication Services in a Multi-National Environment" (Edmond J. Blausten); (3) "Telecommunications and the Emerging Global Corporation" (R. W. Sturm); and (4) "International Users: Their Place in Planning" (Peter Smith). Papers are then presented chronologically to reflect the focus of the three conference days. Papers from the first day focus on large business and industrial users, including users and providers, user perspectives, national developments, and technical applications. Government and public users were examined on the second day, including public and private networks, using the broadcast medium, shared tenant services and teleports, and using information systems. National developments in Chile (paper is in Spanish), Canada, Japan, and Korea are presented in this section. Papers from the final day look at rural, remote, and small users, including the new environment, educational uses, and applications of small aperture earth stations. (MES)
