THE ASSIMILATION IN THE EDUCATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF СANADA

Journal Title: Молодь і ринок - Year 2018, Vol 159, Issue 4

Abstract

According to the systemic approach, the study of education of Canadian indigenous people justifies the necessity to analyse the specificity of different periods in its development. The purpose of the article is defined as research and characteristic of the assimilation processes in the development of Canadian indigenous people’s education in the 18th-19th centuries. Therefore, the authors specify the assimilation processes in the development of the indigenous people’s education in Canada during the 18th-19th centuries. They present the results of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, which highlights the distinct aspects of the problem under research. The historical and pedagogical analysis shows that European style of education and learning was introduced by colonial governments on the territories of modern Canada. These education innovations were supported by Catholic Church and missionary teachers, who gave the indigenous children manual, Christian and vocational instructions. The education for indigenous children was provided in the residential schools, which aim was to “civilise”the indigenous people. This policy was unsuccessful, because it didn’t take into account the indigenous people’s traditional ways of life. The authors analyse the historical documents (The Davin Report, Programme of Studies for Indian Schools), which regulated the organization of academic process in such educational establishments as well as characterize the content, the forms and methods of learning. The authors make conclusions on the negative influence of the European-style education in the history of the Canadian indigenous people’s education; formulate the prospects for the future research of the problem of indigenous people’ educational development in Canada.
